Well, my internet has been down for the last 8 days, but here I am once again. I'd been meaning to write an entry about our acoustic gig at the Gap in Harvard Square, but the interwebs just have not been cooperating. As you can see by the picture, we played at the Gap and it was actually an excellent time. I didn't really know what to expect going in, but we really enjoyed ourselves. People would walk in and look really confused by the random band playing next to the racks of jeans. It was hilarious. Ben and Jay even strolled around the store while they were playing. We were able to play some rare acoustic songs that we don't normally do at the clubs...like "Fire+Ice" a smooth love song that's the perfect soundtrack to trying on jeans and also "Abminor", which clearly needs a better title.
We also spiced up some of our songs, like "Best Thing" which normally goes "The best thing you've ever had", which we reworded as "the best jeans you've ever had"....it was a catchy little number that hopefully stimulated jean sales. The coolest thing about this gig was that it was the largest ever simultaneous acoustic concert. At every Gap in the world at the exact same time there were acoustic performances happening. It was pretty cool to be a part of it. Special thanks to everyone who stopped and listened as well as the excellent Harvard Square Gap employees who put up with the additional racket and set us up with a nice store front location!
