We had kind of an unusual show Friday night – it was a night of all cover tunes as part of the Tribute to the Gods II show. Well, we snuck two originals into the mix.
It was also our first time playing that venue (Goathead Saloon in Mesa). It was a really good sound system, which is always a plus. Pretty nicely kept up, and a very friendly staff. We really liked playing there – Lara, the promoter, also did a nice job. Good bands, good venue and the trains ran on time. That’s always good!
As for the covers … well, we kind of had to rush to get enough covers ready for a full set that would all fit together. That made for some less-than-precise execution on our part. Sometimes, that’s kind of unavoidable when you’re low on rehearsal time and you need to fill space. On the other hand, we barged our way through the early hiccups and finished very solid. And I think we were pretty entertaining. One thing Hung Dynasty has in spades is a very solid chemistry and a shared enjoyment for the music we play. I am convinced that shows onstage.
And here’s a special salute to the guys from AZ/DZ, Arizona’s AC/DC tribute band: They were all sorts of fun. See ‘em when you get a chance!
