Boom. Just like that video, Straight Monday exploded onto the scene this last weekend. While Marcus Barton, Casey Goodman, Spencer Flake and I all played at our ward opening social a week and a half ago, this was our first time playing under the banner of "Straight Monday." It was an action packed weekend for the band. A quick rundown of band actions:
- Hired a Marketing Director (Chris Keneipp)
- Hired a Band Manager (Blake E. Hansen)
- Hired a Band Photographer (Alex Sorensen)
- Gained several groupies
- Played at National Katy Perry Day celebration (more below)
- Hired a blogger to reach out to our fan base (Nate Steele)
- Played at a hip new venue that will be unveiling its name soon
- Several undercover, super secret band decisions that will be unveiled later but are awesome
- Went viral
- Blogged about stuff
It was busy, but it was worth it.
Our friend Jessica Bradley loves Katy Perry. We just happened to know a Katy Perry song. Add the two together, square it and take the cosine of the function [ cos(JB<3kp+str8mon)^2>
The next night was a follow up show (entitled "Straight Monday straight through Sunday") at Nate Steele's and Chris Keneipp's starting at 11:59 p.m. Saturday night. What a venue! Chris grew horns, Marcus rocked a guitar solo to end the night, and Casey sang about kissing.....people. Apparently the keyboard was inaudible because Michelle Mettenet accused me of not actually playing anything at all and just pretending to play. She was demoted on the fan list for saying that, but she might be able to make it up. I am not going to put more pictures on here because I must not know how to do it well. Just those two pictures took way too much effort. Our band photographer posted all the pics on Facebook.com, a new social networking sight. Maybe you've heard of it.
We're Straight Monday. Not Gay Tuesday.
