People have asked me if Cool Cough is going to be a serious band or if it’s something just to do for fun. I like to say that it’s not a serious band, but the music is. Being responsible and living in different cities means we don’t get to put a lot of time into the band as a whole. However the music is still very important to me and I take this opportunity to have a creative outlet very seriously.
All that to say that the video above is from Cool Cough’s 8th show. It was Josh’s 2nd with us and Chris’ first. Right now we’re a fairly sloppy band because that’s all we can afford to be right now. We had equipment problems, sour notes, and I still haven’t been able to make myself watch the Pixies cover we did. We’re still learning to mesh with eachother in the little time we have on stage together. I’ve been apart of other projects that had a couple practices and didn’t ever go anywhere because the band wasn’t ever ”ready” to play out. As sloppy as we are, I’m glad we’ve just gone for it depsite geographical barriers and an ever changing line-up. It’s a process that we’ve decided to put out in the open, for better or worse. It doesn’t hurt that I get to do it with some amazing friends too.
That’s all.
