Beach Party recorded a few rhythm tracks for the upcoming Olympian Menace EP. It's gonna be a good'n.

We played Alexa's birthday party tonight, double-heading it with James Rabbit. It was a first time I've played live with them, and I believe James Rabbit's second live show at all. We gave out copies of the first single for Continental, and at least one guy in the second row thought we were loud enough. Also Beach Party learned that even the young kids dig the old school joints, so I'd like to do more of those. Contemporary hits though are good too.

Sideshow will be awesome. Hopefully we'll finally convince Fresno that "yes, CMT is extremely capable, and yes, we are made up of youth performers, and yes, a FUCKING LIVE ORCHESTRA helps a lot." There just has to be an audience for this somewhere in the central valley. Right? A cult favorite that will be exceedingly well done? Right?

Admittedly, it's not a great show, though CMT's production of it will be great. Most of the recitative is really clunky, and in general the songs have too many words. Plus the characters talk about things like "bottomless well[s] of love."

Okay, later.
