Hello everyone! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Andre. I decided to start this blog to mark the annversary if you will of my first live show. On Saturday April 14 I played at a small club here in Hakodate called Aundo. If you know the band Glay, it seems that they started here many years ago before hitting it big. Anyway, the concert, I think went well. In the weeks before the concert I advertised at the school were I work and in the end I sold around 40 tickets! Aundo is not a big club so 40 or 50 people is a really good number.
I played four songs with my friend Hayashi, or as people call him, Hayashi-kun. He is an awesome guitarist and is currently in two other bands, one called Yippee and the other My Penes, yeah I know, I won't go there either. Anyway the four songs we played were 'we march', 'for you good sir', 'it's always in the last place you look' and 'run out'. To be honest, I think I'm going to change the name of the last song. I think it doesn't fit so well. All of these songs I wrote myself, lyrics and music, but Hayashikun added some nice touches especially in the lead guitar department. I really liked what he did on 'run out', using a dropped-d tuning. Really cool.
Well, here are some pictures of the concert. I hope you like them. I really think the concert was a success for me in that it has started something that I definitely want to continue pursuing. It seems that the organiser of this concert, Mr. Honma, is quite interested in my music, so I think it is safe to say that I will be able to perform again. When exactly, I am not sure, but to be honest I would like to play maybe around August. That would give me some time to figure out what to do next. Also, doing this concert has introduced me to the music circle of Hakodate which I think can be very helpful for my future. From the practices to the actual concert, I feel I have learned a lot. I just hope that I won't forget anything.
Before I go, I just want to say a big thanks to everyone who came, Mr. Honma and especially Hayashikun. I look forward to playing with you again.
Peace
