St. Patrick's Day show
So here it's been a few weeks, and The Schmoejoes have played two shows; were you there?
Our first one was at the Inferno Tavern in Mankato, MN on the 17th - St. Patty's Day. The headliners had canceled again (the first time was at the same bar awhile ago), so The Schmoejoes were filling in with an extra set. I think cancel-band has finally broken up, so we won't have to do that again. ha!
Opening the night was Useful Jenkins, a local acoustic act. Kick Tin took the stage after that, and acoustically rocked some Bon Jovi and the Foo Fighters. All in all, pretty good.
The Schmoejoes' newest pals, Seymore Saves the World, set up, and kicked into some Ben Foldsy-type goodness. They absolutely kicked my ass. Go listen to them right now. Fantastic show. I'm looking forward to playing with them again...on June 14th at the fine Uptown Bar in Minneapolis! Nice!
The Schmoejoes closed the night, and just like St. Patrick, we drove the snakes from Ireland all over again. If by snakes, you mean customers. By the end of the evening, I had had three beers, and sweated them all over a paper towel I later sold on eBay. Merchandising...it's the key here, people! Lots of bar hopping went on that night, and I saw a ton of faces - some of them glistening with tears. Not sure if it was the beauty of the 'joes, or the realization that they lost their left shoe at some point.
Then somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even...
