Shameless Video Of Me Playing My New Guitar

Mike Caputo — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:32:25 +0000

Shameless video post. Please excuse the vomit face I make when I play…. I’ve spent years trying to stop doing that… trust me, it aint’ going away (though it has gotten better)… I think I inherited it from my dad.

Expect something cooler / plugged in later this weekend when I have a moment to do that.

NXNE Hasn’t Even Started, and i’m already exhausted

NXNE hasn’t even officially started (I know the opening party was last night but as you’ll read in this post, I didn’t get to go) and i’m already exhausted… Something about music festivals tires me out. When I went down to SXSW all it was every day was drink drink drink. NXNE is proving to be different this year.

I’ve agreed to help out my drummers other band (The Hots) with their show on Saturday night, since their regular guitar player will be out of town the night of the gig. This means learning 7 new songs with minimal rehearsals, and a pretty tight timeline (I only learned the 7th song last night). Last night I spent 2hrs rehearsing with the Birds of Wales, and then another 2hrs and a bit rehearsing with The Hots in the singer’s living room.

I don’t have a problem with rehearsing a lot, its just really freekin’ tiring focusing for that long (mind you, I only ate a bag of chips, and a bag of pretzels for dinner- so i’m sure that didn’t help).

Either way, i’m already exhausted, and have another 3 days of music to be playing – tonight is the first show, at the Kool Haus in Toronto. I’ll try and get some photo’s of the event – should be a good one!
