As you all know from previous post, we formed this band online, in December 2020. Our first gig was 7 months after, in July. It came out totally unplanned, we got a message from an online R'n'R magazine in Serbia, who was calling us to play in Belgrade. We immediately said yes, and just then realized we haven't practiced with the whole band, like, EVER! The only thing we had were our recordings which we were sending to each other just to try and write a song.
However, in those few months we managed to write enough songs for a performance, found our bassist, Laci, and Milan agreed to come as a guest on our last song. Our plan was to meet up 10 days before the gig and practice all of 8 songs every single day until the 28th of July (our first gig). It seemed like a challenge, but it was awesome to see how we instantly clicked altogether, and we knew that we definitely should continue playing, since we all work great together, and we are great friends!
Those 10 days passed really quickly, playing everyday for more than two hours. One day before the gig, they called us to tell us that other two bands cancelled their performance and that we can either play alone or play the day right after 28th July. We couldn't postpone the gig, so we agreed to play alone even tho we were (and still are) a new band, and at that time we have never played together, people only knew us because of our social media pages. However, we didn't really care if no one came to our gig, we just wanted to play together on stage! But, when we came to Belgrade and realized that we actually have to play and entertain people with our music, it seemed a bit scary. At least for our drummer who was just sitting in a corner waiting for the tone rehearsal and shaking a little bit. :D In the end, a lot of people came, our friends who called more friends, and some people we didn't even know! It was amazing to see people enjoy our music and we couldn't wait to perform again. Unfortunately, we didn't have next gig planned, but stay tuned if you want to find out how we got to play many more gigs this summer, totally unplanned!
