Greeks vs Geeks

So McNulty tried out for this Thursday's Greeks vs Geeks battle. Ten bands audition, four make it. We made it.

I am so fucking excited for this. This is going to be the first real show I've played since May. The last time I was on stage was a fucking blast. It's a night I'll remember for a long, long time.

McNulty will take the stage on Thursday. It's going to be very different from any Mechatama show I've ever played. Different stage banter, different feel, different everything.

We're sounding tight though. Really tight. Less than two months was all it took for three well polished originals and a few covers. We didn't even think we'd have enough material by now to play a show, so we were almost going to play Blink 182 covers. No more.

I'm impressed with what we've accomplished so far. I'm impressed with how much better everyone has become since the summer. I'm impressed that I'm not really terrible anymore. Greg and Adam are leagues ahead of me in terms of facilitation skill, so it feels great when they tell me that I am noticeably better.

We were talking about how we're going to present ourselves on stage. Looks like we'll roll with it and run a seamless set. I love when bands do this live. The Aggrolites play a LOT of their shows in this manner and it's always fucking grand.

I didn't think I'd be playing shows as early as October, but I guess that's where hard work gets you.

This is a pretty big show for a band's first performance. I hope people like it.
