A magical, magical weekend. My buzz is wearing off and my Mega-withdrawls setting in. We started at WNYC playing for the amazing Jon Schaffer. I've never played a radio station that NICE!!!! Nothing personal KCRW, but holy crap! High above Soho, we set up nervously and waited. Once we were set up, we were released to get some lunch. Upon returning I almost bumped into Mick Jagger... No shit. Mick Fucking Jagger was exiting the elevator as I was entering!!! I could read that as nothing but a good omen and as my nerves subsided, we put our collective game faces on and rocked some shit!!! As "Moan all night" Really started cooking, I looked up and saw Jon (our host) rocking out in his chair and Kat Edmonson (our guest vocalist) dancing away... and IT WAS ON!!!! Here is the link... We start at about the half hour mark but the interview before us is amazing!!!

From WNYC we hiked it to Breakthrough Radio, an online radio show. We had enough time to throw down a couple beers, then it was another amazing recording session which deserves it's own post once it is available to you all...
All this leading to Sunday night's show at Joe's Pub. Joe's Pub is pretty much the classiest place we've ever played. From their amazing staff to their beautiful layout, the history of the place and the photos on the wall of Leonard Coen preforming there is enough to give anyone butterflies. But at about 5pm, Joe Rogers our label head at Silence Breaks pulled me aside and said we had to talk... Apperently the show was so over sold, we would not have as many guest list spots as we thought... a split second of panic, followed by Chris Lovejoy smiling and proclaiming "ROCKSTAR PROBLEMS!!!!"
That pretty much set the tone for an amazing evening of music. Kat Edmonson held the Audience in the palm of her hand and tugged at all of our hearts with her amazing voice and rediculously good band. Then we took the stage to a thunderous response. I really hope none of this comes across as bragging or big headedness. We worked really, really hard to make this weekend come together and boy did it. I am just so proud of my amazing MegaFauna and so happy we were able to bring the thunder to New York.... and now the comedown is brutal, but inspiring me to scheme and make it all happen again, in many other cities across the world. Mega-Love for you all...
