Athens is a lot like Madison and Tasty World is a sweet venue. Although "Tasty" world doesn't serve food...hmm. The place didn't fill up as much as we would have liked. But we were there to catch Mike Droho & The Compass Rose set, which was f-ing unreal. Anthony beatboxes and it sounds like a full drum kit up there on stage. Droho's got some killer vocal range, and mixes in some hip-hop...pretty cool sound so check 'em out.
The locals, Princess Idiot, were heavier rock but it sounded good. Our set was about an hour, starting with C-stash introducing the band in a heavy Australian-sounding accent: "ay this is Sharp & Harkins Band from Madison, Wisconsin! We've got Andy Sharp and Ryan Harkins on guitar and vocals, Justin Barak on the bass, Mike Adams on the harp, and my name is Colin Schaaeeeffer." Something like that...it was hilarious. Our set was pretty solid, even though I played a couple slide songs with one string tuned wrong.....I use different tunings for different songs and I missed a string. oops
Nice to come home and just go to bed. At 4:30am. That is going to bed early now days. Sleep 'til noon and repeat.
I'll email our fanlist and facebook, but PICK UP AN ISTHMUS TOMORROW!! The SHIBS will have an article in there!
And get as many peeps as you can to our release party in Madison:
MONDAY, NOV. 17th, 9pm @ The High Noon Saloon
