Poorcastle 2k17: part 2
If you were at Poorcastle or saw the first video I posted, you know the band at least made it through one full song -- their opener, Floated Along the Milky Way -- before a fast-approaching storm forced them offstage. Second on their setlist was supposed to be a debut song from a forthcoming, still unnamed album. It’s way too early to talk details on all that, but can we take a moment to appreciate that the first time the audience heard the lyrics “well, the wind picked up and it carried me away” was right after a gale-force wind swept a tent into the air and sent it sailing over them?
While watching me write this blog post, Nick accepted a request for a comment. “We were hoping our count would actually go UP this year,” he remarked offhandedly while playing Skyrim on the couch. “Last year, we played four songs because I forgot my power cord for my keyboard. So that’s on me. But next year, if we end up playing Poorcastle again, we’ll be lucky to get through a third of one,” he joked while attempting to buy property in the town of Solitude.
Despite his in-game hermetic tendencies (“you would try to buy a house in a place called Solitude!”), Nick-in-real-life is adept at rolling with the punches. The band took it all in stride, and is offering a make up show (read: inviting real live humans to watch them perform) at TNT studios.
Details can be found here (and more TBA) but the gist is:
