Post-Dramatic gig recap - 2/24 Music Cafe @ Fitton Center, Hamilton, OH

Last Tuesday we had our inaugural gig as Post-Dramatic (formerly known as Polarity, also formerly known as Necessary Distraction) at Music Cafe, held at the Fitton Center for the Performing Arts in Hamilton, OH. We were one of the five acts that performed, and we played about half an hour of original tunes (many of which have already been posted here, including "This Way for Good," "Rock of Gibraltar," "Perspective," "Empty Walls", "Never Be Free," and "Undone." Overall the gig was a success... there was a decent crowd and we received quite a few positive comments on our songwriting and musicianship afterwards. Score!!

From a gear standpoint, I kept it relatively simple considering the short length of the set and quick set up/tear down times: I took two of my PRS Custom 24's (whale blue w/ trem and violin amber burst w/ fixed bridge), though one never made it out of the case--always gotta have a backup! For an amp, I used the Bogner Alchemist 1x12 combo--no extra pedals or cabs necessary, though I did put the Alchemist's built-in boost, delay, and reverb to good use. Sounded pretty good, although I probably didn't crank it up much more than I have during the past few weeks of practice at home.

Of course, here are a couple pics from the gig...





While there's nothing else on the gig horizon at this point, this has inspired us to get a bit more proactive about booking gigs, so hopefully we'll get something on the calendar soon.
