Live in New York - Mercury Lounge 8/14/2007

THE MERCURY LOUNGE
AUGUST 14, 2007
NEW YORK, NY

The guys and I have finally been home for a couple weeks since returning from the road. Working on plenty of new songs and taking a breather is sort of what we all needed. The tour has been great, the people we've met along the way from L.A. to Boston have been amazing, but home is home. New York welcomed us back. The Mercury Lounge has become a pretty familiar place for us. We know the smells, we know the look, we know the vibe.

The 8/14 show was no different. It was a rock night. I made sure to keep the Fender on tight and try to really turn up the 'ol volume nob on the Vox for this one...the crowd was terrific. We had our own team of dancers in the front and some romantics in the back. I was a little uncertain about only doing the trio for this big NYC return show, but by the end, I was convinced that Dan and Jeff are able to bring the rock...hard. Brian was not with us, as he was on tour with Pat McGee. Either way, we had an absolute killer time in the east village. "Tuesday," an unreleased/new song felt pretty great. We're working on a slightly new arrangement of that one. More studio news later my babies...
