The DRD @ Rudyard's (9.2.06)

I actually went out this past Saturday! Yes, that is what I said...I went out! I got the ok to take a break and go out to Rudyard's to see The Deathday Davies rock Houston. I even went by myself. I ALMOST completely forgot about the show too. I was surfing the internets on Saturday night and accidentally came across the date on the band's myspace. Needless to say that I went out late. I left the house around 10:45 or so...maybe a little later because by the time I got to Rudyard's the opening, and only band, was starting to tear down. I got there just in time. The crowd seemed to be a little lame for a crowd to see the Deathray Davies at Rudyard's, especially on a Saturday night. They played the first to songs to everyone sitting down, which really surprised me, although I was guilty of sitting down too! Before they played that third song, they requested that everyone get up and wake up for the remainder of the show, to which everyone did. Whew! Thank goodness for that! I definitely felt like a DRD show from then on!

I don't have a set list down or anything except to say that they opened up with the Medication's Gone, closed with The Last Train to Deathsville and played one of my favorites jams of their's Her First Party! That was a special treat for me. I wasn't quite sure if they played that one live at all. I know that they do now!

The guys in the band always look to be having a great time on stage. That seems to make the show just that much more enjoyable when you see that band you want to see, look like they are enjoying themselves while they perform. It really does. I don't know much about them personally, but it looks like these guys get along. It really does. In a way, I am a little bit envyous of them, you know?! Just for the fact that they are all talented musicians that have real fun on stage. You know, they are doing what they love to do for a living, and it shows. Oh man....one day, right?!
