i got a text from drummerboy dave yesterday asking if we had ever played with since by man. i thought that we did, but i wasn't positive. i looked at my batch of old flyers, and we indeed did play a show together.

(on 03/14/02 we (dolorous canter) played a show with john brown battery, littleman complex, brazilia, and since by man at the fireside bowl in chicago.)

it turned out that brad, the singer for 'since', is a commercial director now, and dave had worked with him on a few shoots. brad asked dave for a copy of the flyer after i confirmed that we did play a show together. i love it when paths cross!

on a side note, it was during this show that we first played 'i need' live. after our set, ryan from littleman complex (and hewhocorrupts) looked at me kind of weird and told me that he really liked the 'halloween' song. we had played a couple of show with littleman complex prior to this show, but i had no idea what song he was talking about as we had no song with the word 'halloween'. it took me weeks to figure out that he actually meant 'i need'.

after figuring it out, i was a bit amazed as i wrote 'i need' fairly quickly. the song was inspired by dave's old band corel and was the only song that i wrote all the lyrics for. it was also the only song that i did co-main vocals/screams on with nazzy naz. (i only did background vocals for some of our other songs.)

on a side-side note, when we were getting ready to record 'i need', i bought a cheap electric violin for the quite part of the song. however, i couldn't get it to stay in tune no matter how much i tried, thus i didn't bother bring it to the studio and it was never used for the song.
