CAROLINE BLUE Show-4/3/2009-The Lost Horizon-Syracuse, NY
-Hi Everyone-time for another CAROLINE BLUE show recap! This time we were back @ The Lost Horizon in Syracuse,NY on Friday 4/3/09. Before we get to the show, let me just do a lead up to this night….
-We booked this show back in 2/21/09 right after our show here with Silent Fury. I was contacted 4 days before the show & informed that there were still no other bands on the bill. Usually there are 3-4 bands on any night @ The Lost. Admission would be dropped to FREE in order to try to help w/ the draw (meaning we wouldn’t get paid) and I was asked to see if I could get some other bands on the bill. I did look around, but very few bands would play for free on such short notice-and the few that might wouldn’t do it because they’re be hardly any time for them to promote it (newspaper deadlines had already been hit & I don’t believe there was anything radio wise). So we were on our own-and we went forward on….as I said right when we started to the crowd of people that did show up “We who are about to die salute you.” 🙂 It didn’t matter how many people were there though-we still give it our all…
-We played from 10:15 till 1:00 this night. Here’s the setlist…
-Hard Life

-Overall, I think we did fair. Not as good as the last show. We did get more energized as time went on. I’m watching the video as I type this and this show wasn’t as tight as the last one. I have to say that whenever we play the Horizon we should change our name to “Caroline Red” cause steady red light is pretty much all we get onstage. 🙂 Monitors were intially good, but quickly all I could hear in the monitor-for the most part-was bass. Course, I’m slowly going deaf so… 🙂 I was told by several people in the crowd that my vocal was buried in the mix much of the time. At least I could hear my guitar better due to my new Fender Metalhead amp-and gain wasn’t a problem at all.
-It was kind of a crazy night though. Me & Doc did a little tribute to the 80’s by singing ,acappella, part of the song “Fish Heads”-our 1st & last time doing so (HA!). Unless it gets requested of course….
-On behalf of Doc & Joe, we wish to thank the following: The Horizon for having us here to play, Jo for bring a bunch of people here to see us, Gretchen & Daisy for traveling for many, many miles just to see us and everybody who was here to check us out (Greg, The Smite Guys, Anne, Melanie, Leeanna, Dave, Michael, Joell & all the rest…). We really appreciate it and hope you had a good time. We also hope to see you at another show.
