Chamberlin SKYSAW Tour Update 2

5/22/11

Another great show last night in Jacksonville, Fl. with "minus the bear" and our new opener, " the constellations", who were great BTW.  Our show opened with No One Can Tell and the crowd was immediately into it and with us for the duration. Here is the setlist per your requests.

NOCT
Capsized
Am I Second
Great Civilizations
Tightrope
All I Hear is Snow
Serrated
Cathedral 

It was hot as heck but I felt like the band played great and the crowd was super into it. I'm so happy to be able to do this type of playing. Small clubs are great places to grow your garden with the fans providing sunshine, air and water. Looking forward to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow night!  Today is a day off.  We are going to relax by the ocean and work on some arrangements. Thanks to all for another great time in music!

Regards,
JC

Chamberlin on the Skysaw Tour

Last night was the first show of our mini tour with minus the bear.  We played the varsity theatre in Baton Rouge,La. The crowd was fantastic and it felt so good to be playing. Baton Rouge knows how to rock out! Skysaw is coming into it's own as a live band and I am so proud of my bandmates and their continued dedication to music.  Paul Wood flew from New York yesterday, missed his connection in Charlotte, and not being able to get to Baton Rouge, hopped on a flight to New Orleans and drove the 80 or so miles in a rental car up to Baton Rouge to make it in time for the show with an hour of so to spare!  

For me personally the band , tour, marks a return to a lot of things that I haven't done in a while. Being on the road with just the band , no crew, no tour manager, staying in cheap hotels, setting my own stuff up every night and tearing it down - loading the trailer! I must say that it brings a different resonance to the music. One I haven't enjoyed in a while. When you set your drums up yourself , you play differently. There is a reverence to the art as a whole, not just the performance, but the life. It is sacred. I love these times and I thank every one of you for making them possible. 

We are off to florida to rock out again tomorrow. I look forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones.

Regards, JC

Another Interview with Mike Reina of SKYSAW

HERE

Including a little bit more talk about the cross-country collaboration involved the recording of Great Civilizations.

Questions?

I might, might, be able to coax JC and Skysaw to answer a couple of questions...

I have my own super nerdy ideas of course, but rather than just ask them - I thought I'd throw the floor open to you guys... So, post away in the comments.

Cheers.
