We are playing at The 44 June 1st!!
As 2021 Comes to a Close
We played our first show back over at the Rebel Lounge on Black Friday. It was a weekend to be thankful for.
Kim with 13th Floor Entertainment added us to the bill and was kick ass to work with. Zherra headlined and dropped a new CD. They put on one hell of a set playing new songs and a few of their older ones to keep the fans happy. Riot Gear brought the energy and showmanship before we went on and Weapon of Pride brought serious energy and a classic sound to the stage to start us all off right.
We were on the tail end of several segments for the band. We had just finished making a video for our first ever recorded cover tune. We had written nearly an entirely new set worth of tunes. We all were feeling that need to get our asses on stage. In October, due to James being out of town, we had to turn down a few show offers. It was perfect timing when we got work Zherra was looking for another opener for their release party.
We were setting up for most of Riot Gear’s set, so only got to hear them after the first 10 minutes. We were setting up out back and some of the other band members as well as some staff offered to help us. It took all the tension out of the night. It felt like the “old days” in the scene where we all hung out the entire night and the bands genuinely enjoyed being there from start to finish. There was not a sense of clique from anyone. There were groups and people just mingled freely around in and out of the club like everyone was old friends.
Once we hit the stage the energy in the room was amazing. The people came up and paid attention. They got into the groove. Members from other bands rocked out with us. It was a fucking night to have fun! The sound guy got us sounding great and we opened up with a song off our first EP. Any sense of “stage rust” disappeared with the familiar opening notes screaming out of Mike’s cabinet.
Running through the set, with each song, the groove just kept getting deeper and better. The sound on the stage and upfront was perfect. The few technical difficulties were cleared without fucking up the flow. Brian and James locked into the pocket on each song. Mike held down the rhythm and leads with soaring tones. Chris lead us through to closing out with a new tune and a somewhat new style for us.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us over the last few years. We are evolving. We are making stranger noises.
We will be back on stage as soon as we fucking can!
Random Funking Update
Indogen’s Bass Bastard here again.
We are working, methodically, on material for our social media sites, this web site, and random fuckery. Below are some teaser pictures just for fun!
Just a few set photos from our video shoot.
More to come. I am excited!
Indogen at home
Long time no update!
Indogen’s Bassbastard here.
We are writing, shooting some video and gathering gear for more fun this year. The new year has come and gone, almost a full month in. We are all experiencing that live performance withdrawal, and need to just get out and have an in person scene. Our plans for live streaming are coming together, but has not been the priority over writing, healing, and preparing extemporary content.
Before we release the EP we were working on, we are discussing adding 3 or more new songs to make it a full album. More filming is in the works for not just a cover vid, but some live tunes. Some stylistic additions to expand our sound… and lights.
We have always had lights as part of our live presentation, but we have added more options. If we need to produce a dull live show without a venue, we now have that capability. It is exciting, and will prove challenging as well. Hit us up for more updtes!
Much love.
Random update: This week in Indogen
Indogen’s bass bastard here.
These are eventful times for us. We have new music the quarantine is allowing us to really work on. We have at least one cover tune and video in the works. We are taking all precautions but we are getting our jam on.
Melody and presentation have been highlights of discussion this week. Bringing elements and counterparts into play to build movements. We are progressive rock, so we are taking some songs to borderline ludicrous levels of fun. It would not be us otherwise.
Whiskey of the week has also been an interesting addition, let me know if you are interested in what we are sipping while we work.
Our practices have been upgraded and augmented by a computer and interface. Allowing for real-time review of the noises we make. We will be using it to put out some live videos to edit together with scripted shenanigans. We need to provide the drama and like everyone, we are adapting to the current limitations 2020 has provided us with.
So we are fighting back. Keeping our spirits and minds on creating and our efforts on improving. Basically everything but dance routines.
I will be writing more random updates and encouraging the other members to do so as 2020 moves along.
