"Where the bathrooms are for more than just peeing and pooping!"
We were at the end of our 3-day run, having played Nashville thursday, Murfreesboro Friday, and now were in Atlanta, to play at Tavern on 74, a local sportsbar/watering hole located in a suburb called Peachtree City. We were really fired up cuz we'd been wanting to Play Atlanta and were very excited to book this show. Antjuan's brother, AJ, worked at this bar, and apparently had been doing a great job of hyping us to the locals. I say this because before we even got our stuff loaded in, people were coming up to us, telling us how long they'd been wanting to see us play. They even asked about some of our originals! Turns out, AJ had been spinnin our records in there for ages and I guess it was a good fit, because while James was checkin his guitar levels, just noodling around, a gentleman came up and said "If that guitar playing you're doing is any indication of what's it's gonna be like tonight, then I can't WAIT to hear yall!" That's about the best feeling a musician/artist can get: Interest, reaction, and ANTICIPATION from the audience. It was a great way to get started, and having felt like we were off on the right foot, looked forward to rockin out.
I could probably deviate from the music and talk about all the over-sexed, sultry, dong-hungry MILFs that were prevalent to the area, and how one of em went head-nurse in the men's room before the show, and another almost trapped James in the Womens' after the show, but, I'm sure yall don't wanna hear about that..
Lots of people showed up, (except James' friends Sid & Thurm, aka The ATL Twins of James Franco/"Spring Breakers" fame, who were too lazy to hop in a car) and, even though there was no cover, they were generous with the tips and even demanded to the owner that they PAY to see us next time! Badass.
We played for like 3 hours, then climbed off stage where the locals proceeded to pour copious amounts of alcohol down our throats. Then, climbed in the car, and rode back.
It was fun.
We're going back soon.
Shout out to AJ, Ashley, and all the awesome people of Peachtree City.
See ya next time.
