Old Towne Pub

Improvised and last minute shows are always fun.

About a month ago, I was on the band's MySpace and saw a bulletin from a pub asking for a band to play there. I messaged them and we got to play at the "Old Towne Pub" for free.

It's a tiny little place in the heart of Pasadena. It was quite hard to find at first, since it is located in the alleys, as opposed to the main streets. Once you get in, you find a bar onto your right, and a tiny stage in front of you. If you feel like relaxing outside, there's a patio outside where you could sit and enjoy your drink. It's a really chill place where I wouldn't mind going back to.

The first time we played there, there was a little problem as far as live sound, for the sound tech was being a bit difficult. Nonetheless we pulled a really fun show.

Apparently, the bartender that night was the sister of the owner. She told us she liked our music. It was definitely nice to hear that.

Just this week, Aaron, her brother and owner, contacted us, asking us to play there again on Thursday. And, well, it was just another fun show. This time, we got to run our own sound, and it came out really neat.

We'll let you know if we ever have another gig there. Definitely worth the trip there.

I've always looked down on MySpace for many things, but when it comes for local artists trying to find their place, I think it's a wonderful tool. Though we will probably soon won't be using as much once our website will be updated, MySpace has definitely helped us get to where we are.

Another thing is, never turn down a chance to play a gig; when you don't have to pay to play that is. Any gig is a chance of exposure, experience added in the bag, and in the end, just fun. You want also to make sure that you're always willing to make yourself available. It doesn't matter the place, the time you play, or if you can't bring anyone to the show with you, there's always new people you can meet. Always. And we sure did.
