Hey guys,

My band, The Scratches, is playing at the Elevens in Northhampton, MA on 27 April, at 8:30.  As stated in the other thread, I play my MalletKAT (between Marimba and vibes) for this group.  This will be our second gig with this line-up.

If you have any questions about it, please email or pm me!

Hey guys!

The gig wasn't as good (for me) as the spinning Monkey fest one.  I had a couple pieces that I still needed the music for, and realized that it's hard to read music in a dark bar (go figure), but otherwise played alright.  I even had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with an Alternate mode-ite! (Thanks by the way!).  I'm hoping that, now that I got some more time between gigs to get more music in the making, I can create some more mallet intensive parts, instead of the more simplistic parts I'm playing (Though, I was happy with my one solo I played). 

Our next gig, for anyone who cares, is May 21rst in Northhampton (originally at the starbucks, but now possibly at a pizza place).  When I know firmer details, I'll post a new thread with more info.  Hopefully, I'll get better video and play better than last night!

This is the better one.  Bad lighting in both.

This one is bad playing for me....Largely because I still have to WRITE a part to this piece and I'm just making up whatever for this gig (as I've been doing for a while)

Unfortunately the gentleman who took the video didn't put some of our BETTER pieces out on video, as there are where I'm playing much better.
