15 Years Ago: The Moving Parts at the Treebar

While recently searching through the Cringe.com website for some info, I stumbled upon these pictures from fifteen years ago when The Moving Parts played the Treebar here in Columbus. Damn, I was thin! (credit to Joel Treadway for the taking the pics)

This past weekend, Keith and I drove up to Cleveland to play some Moving Parts tunes at our old friend and 10watt bandmate Adam Rich's LoveMuffinPalooza, celebrating his record label.

Though playing without drums and bass wasn't ideal, we were able to pull it off fairly well. Adam took some pics of us, here are a couple shots from the show.

Anytime I've gotten to play the Newport Music Hall here in Columbus, it's felt like a big deal, even if it really wasn't. Way back in 2000, I played with my band The Stepford Five as a part of a college battle of the bands. It was poorly attended and we lost, but still, it was the Newport. The second time we played there was just after our guitarist Jason Dziak sliced open his hand, which left us with no time to find and practice with a temporary fill-in. We went on as a three-piece, and halfway through the set, I broken a bass string (which never happened again), and had to borrow another one from a band, who used a headless Steinberg. It was not a good night.

This time, we got to play to an actual crowd, though it was with The Moving Parts, thanks to headliner Shooter Jennings. It was a good night, the crowd was into it, we got a nice compliment from a member of Shooter's band, and it was fun. Hopefully, more of that is to come.
