from the chick bass player....
Posted March 15, 2006
Hey guys, this is Mia. Yes, a girl bass player. Don't look so surprised...I see more and more girls picking up the low-end axe all the time... although, ladies, let me recommend getting a bass that DOESN'T weigh more than you do! I've had to start doing shoulder presses just to be able to hold the thing up at practice and at shows. But it's way fun. The world has enough female vocalists...if you wanna be in a band, get some chops on bass. Oooh...drums sound fun too... mwa ha ha!
Friday night we played at the Rathskeller at Kent State Univ in Kent, OH. A cool show. My instrument cable went berserk in the middle of Ringing in My Ears, so I was off-stage half the time, just trying to remedy the situation. My husband the hero, Randall, bailed me out with one of his cables, though...awwww :)
While we were setting up, we had to walk through the kitchen and BLEH! The smell was RIPE to say the least...potent chemical cleaners & pizza sauce...ewww... That's the rock 'n roll lifestyle, baby... HA!
Oh and I also met a cool girl named Bethany...what up, B?!
Favorite quote right now, complete with English accent: "Rock 'n Roll... Rock 'n Roll...."
--Spinal Tap (that part when they're lost back stage before a show) HILARIOUS!!!
Second favorite quote right now: "ConstiTUtion!"
--Big Daddy (when Adam Sandler teaches "Frankenstein" to read)
That's all from me. Leave us a message and give Ringing another play!
Searching through life with you,
Mia Lucia P
