FW: Metzener

So my band (Metzener) had out last big show yesterday. The culmination of 3 years of rocking power, 2 albums, and much merchandise came to a close. We played a gig at “Freeze Fest,” BYU’s winter party at 7 peaks where they had free ice skating, a santa clause, a dance, and of course 2 live bands. It was a fun little gig. People came out in goodly numbers and rocked the night away with us. I kind of wonder how much I’m going to miss playing. It took a lot of work to be in a living, breathing, rock band. There’s weekly practice, song writing, recording, advertising, organizing shows, and a bunch of little things that all need to be paid attention to in order to see that everything gets done as it should. So I’m glad that I’ll have my time freed up to do other things. As far as music goes, I enjoy our music, but there’s other things that I want to do personally with song writing. I will say this, being in a band and playing shows is an experience all of it’s own. Making my own music is quite a bit different than having an actual band. So seeing people come to shows and dance and sing along to songs and crowd surf will probably be missed. Then again, I’m not really that big into large group events. I never went and hung out with other people and fans and what not after the shows. I would rather have just hung out with my girlfriend or something. But all in all, it was some good times.
