I'm toying with the idea of naming my band Self-Employed Assassin, and then when I play solo...Sarah RabDAU. Or maybe Sarah RabDAU with Self-Employed Assassin, because that's even HARDER to say and will really get people's tongues tied.
Yesterday, I played a show for the Uncle Monsterface CD Release Party. I played with my new band, hopefully permanent band. I would like to hang out with these people for a lot longer for many reasons... they are both lovely, they are both really talented, and I am getting so tired of having to re-teach these songs to drummers and whoever every new show. It's hard to progress or do anything new and different. These people seem to like what I do, and I feel like working together continuously would really benefit the music.
On drums- Matt Graber (Caged Heat, and Mascara). On violin and bass- Meredith Cooper (Shelley Winters Project). In a perfect world, I would also like to have a bassist that can also play guitar and synth stuff where needed. But this is a good core, and a beginning. Fucking Finally.
Anyway, for those that came to the show yesterday, THANK YOU! It was such a great audience, the show itself was so amazing, and fun, and energetic, and everything you would want a CD extravaganzarama (or whatever it was) to be. I love me some Uncle Monsterface, I will be so sad when they leave me for the Big Apple. I wish I was going with them.
In other news, I might be recording my album (another finally) in July. More details to follow, but that is a goal that we are working on. Which reminds me that I have a lot of shit I should be doing and probably should not be typing random thoughts on this here blog. So I bid you adieu.
Before I go, things I have read and listened to lately that I am digging.
1. I re-read 'the Great Gatsby'. I remember loving it when I first read it, and the 2nd time I read it I was having a hard time getting into it, but in the end it knocked my socks off again. Such amazing imagery, and symbolism.
2. I thought I didn't like Wilco, or Paul Westerberg. But I do. They are both really great writers, and lyricists. It's not the most unique music I have ever heard, but it is so well done, and it's classic.
3. Also saw the David Hackney exhibit at the MFA last month and was totally blown away; I bought the book and can't wait to just sit there an immerse myself in his work again. I went with a friend of mine and we were in the gallery for 3 hours, I was really lucky to go with someone that loved it as much as I did because I ran into someone yesterday that thought it was mundane. To each their own, I guess.
