Rehearsing for 1/24 and 1/31 BowieVision Shows
Over the past few weeks we’ve been putting in some dedicated rehearsals for our upcoming BowieVision shows. This comes with the usual fun of loading up my car with a few hundred pounds of gear, loading up my cart, and pulling it into the rehearsal room. Fortunately, we typically rehearse at a facility where there is a fairly convenient ramp into the building, so generally there aren’t any stairs involved.
We’re adding “Beauty and the Beast” for this show, which is really exciting. It’s one of my favorite Bowie songs, and I enjoy playing Adrian Belew’s fantastic guitar parts. We are double-billing for the next two shows,with a band called “This is not my beautiful band”; they’re a Talking Heads tribute from Portland, and reputed to be quite good. I’m looking forward to hitting the stage tomorrow night for our show. Feels like our rehearsals are going well, and the material in our extended set is sounding really good. If you’re out and about in Seattle (1/24) or Portland (1/31), I’d recommend checking out the show!
