EWE TOO ROCKS ME's final show???

I'm about a week late in posting this but I just wanted to chronicle EWE TOO ROCKS ME's latest show, rumored to be the last. If you've been living under a rock, then you've missed the band threatening to break up after each and every performance so there might not be that much substance to the breaking up statement. Last I heard, there's a possibility that we're playing a benefit for one of Adam's mom's friends, but who knows? Anyway back to the show which occurred Saturday, August 25th at Steph's house over in Gibbstown, NJ. Yes, EWE TOO ROCKS ME has now played in two states so we've now achieved national success.

To sum up this show in one word, it would be CRAP. It has become very predictable of us to follow up an awesome performance with a dud and sure enough we delivered. The day started off pretty badly with it being the hottest day of the summer so our spirits were already dampened (no pun intended). But yeah, our guest singer Bill, who had sung a couple of songs for us at our last gig was unable to make the show because he was down the shore, so the singing duties fell exclusively to me and Rhys (Joe was in a bad mood so he decided he didn't want to sing any of his songs). Luckily, our boy Rich was in the crowd and had offered to help us out where needed, and God knows we needed it. What made matters even worse was that Rhys had switched up our Set list the night before and we were starting off the show, with "Twist and Shout", for which we didn't have a singer. BAD WAY TO START A SHOW. So we brought Kelly Scott and Maggie out of the crowd to sing and it was awkwardly completed because A) we had barely practiced the song and B) the girls hadn't practiced at all with us so it was a bit tough. We then struggled on through the first half of our set, having abandoned the set list Rhys created and adlibing along the way. First half of the show ended up being one of our worst showings.

Fortunately, we had left all of our crowd favorites for the second half and with the crowd participating the second half went pretty smoothly and was a success. Highlights of the show had to be Rhys and Gooch jumping in the pool following Rhys's rendition of "Eruption" and the band successfully pulling off "Don't Go Away" by Oasis as requested by Steph. From what I heard, the song brought Steph and her mom to tears, not because it was a horrible rendition but because of the emotions stirred up by the song and Steph's eventual move to San Francisco. So that was pretty cool, our music actually held some meaning. But yeah, I'd say the show was a success to a certain extent, but definitely nowhere near as good as the show we put on at my house.

At times, it was as if we were just playing to one person...


I decided to join the crowd and sit and act bored like everyone else...
