A couple years back, we were making slow progress writing our first album. We thought getting out of LA might help us focus, so we found an Airbnb about 5 hours north in North Fork and headed out of town.
On our first night, we went out for drinks at the one place in town that had its lights on. By the end of the night, we had drunkenly talked the bartender and owner into letting us play a gig at the bar on our final night in town. It was to be a three hour set of covers and originals. At the time, we had about 8 songs to our name, and we had never played a gig as a band. We had a few days to get about 25 more songs under our belt. Did I mention it would be our first gig as a band?
