Last night, an impromptu TWO-MAN ELECTRICAL BAND jam took place at THE JAM STATION. AJ and SEAN came in delivering THE LICKS and JOKES one would expect from a BLINK 182 CONCERT. Though they were DEAD SERIOUS about KILLING IT at the bands UPCOMING SHOW at THE RUSTY NAIL. Why were they DEAD SERIOUS you ask? FOR STARTERS, this show is the REUNION of the ORIGINAL GRAPE ROOM LINEUP. YES, the LINEUP THAT MADE ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE!
Kicking off this show, RYAN GADS at 7:30 this SATURDAY NIGHT. Bringing his eclectic brand of rock, he will be first in a lineup FULL OF SURPRISES! Speaking of, having GOTTEN OUR BIG BREAK from LAZER SHARK, they will be the OPENER FOR US. THAT’S RIGHT, this is FREELANCE SWEATPANTS first show as a HEADLINER! You better BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!
This show has been a LONG TIME COMING! The band has worked their SWEATPANTS OFF for this moment! As for how the JAM WENT, let me tell you:
AJ and SEAN as a two-man DUO weren’t quite the WHITE STRIPES, but still managed to hold the CROWD OF 4 CAPTIVE as if it were a HEAT ESQUE BANK ROBBERY. Kicking things off, the duo rocked new SONG “COUCH”. Despite missing DOM AND JUSTIN, the duo proved the band CAN STILL ROCK with the BEST DUOS IN THE BUSINESS. AJ provided a BLUESY touch to SEANS INFECTIOUS GROOVES. The band played along to a drum fill provided by GARAGE BAND with the accompaniment of the audio from AMERICAN DAD in the background.
Missing two members of your band may feel the same as MISSING YOUR KIDNEY WHILE A MAN PULLS CUTS IT OUT WHILE LISTENING TO HUEY LEWIS’S “HIP TO BE SQUARE”, the two members filled that missing void. Performing rare tracks such as “OH WHY” and soon to be new favorites such as “FLOOR SONG”, AJ and SEAN commanded the room.
The band even caught the attention of onlookers by performing a COUNTRY DIDDY that sounded like rejected music from a “MOTEL SIX” commercial. In addition, several covers got a jam, “VODOO CHILD” and the latter “HEY JEALOUSY” elicited the same emotion from those who wish they could play an instrument.
The setlist for SATURDAY is looking stacked, featuring songs like, well, I KNOW, YOU DON’T. Rather than have me explain them, show up yourself and ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
FREELANCE takes the stage at 9:30 sharp! SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL BANDS WHO JOINED US OUT! SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS AND THE RUSTY NAIL!
