St. Patty's Day in IksanPaul: The Manager Introduces the Band

St. Patty's Day was also the day that the local Foreigner bar "Red Rock" was celebrating it's
10th year in business. Since we jam there every thursday, the owner asked us to play for everyone that night.
The Three Guitarists (Clint, Me, Geoff)

A week before playing Clint, the in the Flames-style jersey, got married and one of the foreigners there was talking about the band, asking what instruments everyone played. When I told him that it was just three guitars and a singer he asked if that could be legitamitly be considered a band. I replied that we were just barely a band. The opening night band name was "Barely Just".
Ben The Bands Frontman

The evening was pretty good, the sound wasn't perfect, but then again we didn't really expect it to be. Everyone brought a side dish and the owner order a giant BBQ pig, so it was pretty good. The pig was stuffed with hotdogs which was pretty strange, even for Korea. I mean you wouldn't stuff a chicken with chicken fingers.....c'mon now.
Me and my Spandy(namebrand of my guitar)
Playing was fun, lots of people liked it because the sets were really diverse. We only had eight songs down cold, and two of them we learned fully the night before. Here's the songs played:
1. Folsom Prison Blues (J.Cash)
2. Yer So Bad (Tom Petty)
3. Wicked Game (C.Isaac)
4. Before You' Cuse Me (E.Clapton)
BREAK
5. New Orleans is Sinkin (Hip)
6. The Wall (Pink Floyd)
7. Karma Police (Radiohead)
8. Faith (G.Micheal Styles)
Not sure when were playing next, once I figure out how to put video on this site I try and post a little bit of the show for ya's all to listen to.
