Once I joined, we started writing a ton of music together and began taking every gig we could-and I mean EVERY gig. Barney used to say, “A gig is a gig is a gig is a gig”, which I think is from Scott Pilgrim vs the World. So, we played lots of Tuesday and Wednesday night gigs when we were starting off. Lots of small shows in garages, living rooms, parking lots, backyards, late-night variety shows, dive bars and plenty of gigs that said they’d pay and didn’t.
