Great Show

Sabroso opened for Sambada last night, and it was a smokin hot evening!

The band sounded great, everyone pretty much kicked ass. No one made any major mistakes, intonation was great, good times. I did have a little problem with the upright feeding back due to the massive subwoofers under the stage at Downtown Brew. Kip (the sound man AND the guy who runs the building I rent my rehearsal space) is my homey so he did the best he could and rode the faders. Everyone said the bass sounded huge and good.

Dave absolutely KILLED it on the timbales. I asked him about that cause he tends to blow licks at rehearsals, and his response was to the effect of, "Hey, that's in rehearsal. This is live, it's time to do it right!" What a pro.

Sambada is a great band. Afro-Brazilian funk. Everyone in that band can really dance. They all trade instruments throughout the course of the show too, which I thought was cool.

I don't normally dance much, but I pretty much danced all night long with some lovely people. Good times.
