Hi. Remember me? You used to know me as that curly-haired girl that would sometimes sing and play keyboards sensitively for that band:Self-Employed Assassins. You used to see me out and about sometimes (or not) at rock shows and social gatherings. I used to write a blog occasionally that some of you read, and some of you didn’t.
Some of you may have not even noticed I’ve been absent, and I take absolutely no offense to that. Hopefully you’ve been living your lives, spending time with your close-ones and not killing your brain watching things that start with ‘Jersey’ and end with ‘Shore’. But if you have been, I won’t judge you. Not aloud, at least.
I have been busy doing things that would interest no one, except maybe a few lone nerds interested in natural remedies and becoming a Luddite. I have somehow started to think that life’s so much better when I’m not on a computer, when I’m not updating ‘statuses’ all day, when I’m not jumping into photos to try and remember, but instead trying to remember with my memory. I know. It’s totally fucked up. It’s so ‘beginning of time – 2006’ of me.
Is this what happened when you were a kid and all the old people got older while you got hipper? I really don’t want to be that old person, especially since I’m not all that old. But I also don’t want to be all that hip and connected. Maybe I will sometime soon, but as of now, I don’t. I want to be away from the constant barrage of innovation and information, and not forget who I am without it. I want to try and live without influence for a bit. So subsequently, I’m really fucking boring for the time being and I’ve been sparing you all the gory details. You’re welcome.
What I will tell you though, is that Self-Employed Assassins has multiplied in size. We have added a wonderful and handsome bass player named Eric Donohue. I once played with him in the Fast Easy Women, but then he went to Africa for a few years. He’s back and providing Matt and I with wonderful low end and pseudo British remarks. I also have coerced Peter Moore to sometimes play keys with us too. Why did I ask him to do that? Because I was so sick of him complaining about my shitty piano parts, and frankly, I wanted to dance. Ok, he didn’t really complain about my piano parts….in public, but I did want to dance. Or at least stand up and front the band that I’ve had for 4 years now. Is that so wrong?
Although we’ve been playing in other states, we haven’t played as a band in our hometown in what feels like 9 years. We’re coming out of hiding with our new Assassins on Friday Oct 22nd at Café 939 in Boston. The show is a sort of tribute to the band ‘The Motion Sick’, and all bands on the bill will pay tribute to them in some fashion. But in addition to this, S.E.A will be playing new songs and re-imagining old songs. It will be AWESOME. We go on at 8pm SHARP. And I will dance!
