Nathan Joyce Mouthbreather Show

Yesterday, I accompanied Nathan Joyce with his set of mostly new songs. Also on the bill for the night was The Catalyst, Mouthbreather, The Riot Before, and Sweat Lodge. I hadn't played at Gallery 5 in a while but it went really well. Allen Bergendahl made everything sound great and they have a fairly new stage I hadn't seen before, but the success of the show is thanks to the really great audience that adapted to Nathan's set and then instantly transitioned into the pace needed for the rest of the show. Nathan sounded awesome and I didn't mess up anything until the end and even then I think I was the only one who noticed that I wasn't playing the part I was supposed to be playing. Luckily for Nathan the part fit fine. I'm not sure when it's coming out but Nathan will have a self released ep available sometime soon. I played on it and so did a few others though I'm not sure who made it on as the plans for the recording changed a bunch and since Nathan lives in Florida which makes coordinating between people hard.

The following is a picture of John Martin of Mouthbreather/roomate of many years doing what looks to be either an impersonation of the Elvis on the flier for the show or the forbidden dance of the Troll.
