~Back to Back at The Knit~
<~The Brakes and their fearless leaders, Jesse and Dave Kass and Zach in the new "Ham Room ~>
We've spent 2 of the last 3 nights at our new 'home away from home,' The Knitting Factory, down @ 74 Leonard Street New York City. I have to agree with Josh when he claimed that Saturday night's show was the best New York City show we've ever had. The room was packed with fans and friends from all over, and the boys took advantage of their extended 90-minute set. Without question, the best version of "Dig" that i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot of freeeeaking Digs haha....too bad I didn't get a chance to bust out the video camera for that one. Which reminds me, soon enough we'll be posting a lot of video from the Big Head Todd tour-just need to finish editing, or well, start editing...one of these days.
Anyways, we followed up Saturday's show with a little showcase tonight in The Tap Room (our Tuesday night home during the entire month of April!). The showcase was for The Digital Music Forum being held in NYC this week. Zach really carried the band tonight with some exceptional vocal work, especially on "Tale of 2 Cities" and "Boat Trip." Kass also stepped up with some ripping guitar work on "Who Am I to Be?" and 'Tale.'

I was at the Digital Music Forum Showcase. Which song had the section where both guitars played that sweet solo simultaneously? It was toward the end of the set. That song rocked.
Hey there anonymous...that song is called "Big Money" and that guitar part is called a "soli"...hope that's helpful. Keep your ears to the speakers for live audio recordings of that song from the past few months-we'll be posting them shortly.
