I love playing support gigs, its like a test to see how much greatness you can pack into 30 mins and how much of the audience you can win over. I usually up the tempo on everything quite a bit.phantasmagorovich wrote:Had an amazing birthday show on Friday. We completely blew the crowd and the main act away. Sweet ass gig! And I got to really appreciate being a support act. It was lots of fun to concentrate on mere 30 minutes and to make the utmost out of that time.
Also I have bought tickets to and booked a place to sleep for the Le Guess Who festival.

I read to them about atoms and thermodynamics.
Parenting win.
We didn't play faster or anything, but I found out how important it is to move around on stage and make a little bit of a show. It's a front, of course, but it was a hell of a lot of fun to be jumping around and dancing and shit like that. So we pretty much just increased the overall energy level and thus had the people entertained a lot more.

Playing support is so much fun. It's great to have room for a couple songs the local folks know, a couple bits of new material, and a little bit of audience interaction but not have to pad it out with stuff I don't feel like playing. I also like that it's a little bit less stressful, if I'm having an off night it's ok because nobody paid to see me. As it turns out when I'm stressing less I play a lot better.phantasmagorovich wrote:We didn't play faster or anything, but I found out how important it is to move around on stage and make a little bit of a show.
