MCChris Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Diggin the Video.. Thanks man! If we ever play a big outdoor festival I'm bringin' the Tremoverb!
BubbaVO Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Starting off the New Year by posting one of the Rub's earliest recordings from 2005. I'm the guitar in the right speaker; I kick on a Digitech Jimi Hendrix pedal around 2:10 and go off into la-la land.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8550988Good work outta ya!

MCChris Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 This one changes many gears, from straight jam to quiet Pink Floyd excursion, back to a straight jam but more uptempo, and then really taking flight at the 3:45 mark:http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8564421
Feynman Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Really nice. I enjoyed that one.I'm not qualified to judge anything, but the drummer seemed to have it going on in this track - glued the whole thing together nicely I think.
MCChris Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Speaking of drummers, a new guy showed up at our most recent session on Dec. 27 with congas, a djembe and a timbale. This edit captures the dynamics, volume, mayhem and chaos that characterized the entire evening. Musta been the percussion that launched us into the stratosphere that night.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8583634
MCChris Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Another edit from the Dec. 27 session. I'm prominently featured on this one. Solo starts off very sloppy, but I eventually fell into a good groove and managed to salvage it about halfway through.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8598821
Feynman Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh man - totally digging this one. I have to check you guys out someday.
MCChris Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh man - totally digging this one. I have to check you guys out someday.Feel free to book us in Arizona, preferably during the winter!
sonic1974 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh man - totally digging this one. I have to check you guys out someday.Feel free to book us in Arizona, preferably during the winter!Chris, I'm curious what you guys to in terms of promotion for shows. Trying to get some ideas for my band. Do you get a good turnout?Had a small show on Friday, about 50 people or so. It's pretty small, but it's a start. It was a pretty small venue. We did the Facebook event thing, worked out ok.
MCChris Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Chris, I'm curious what you guys to in terms of promotion for shows. Trying to get some ideas for my band. Do you get a good turnout?Social networking sites. That's really about it.I'm probably the wrong person to ask for ideas on how to attract a crowd, because the Rub is less of a band and more of an open jam/musicians social club. We don't do songs, vocals or blues, which makes it a bit of a tough sell. We probably get 20-30 people to show up per session, most of them players. The people who are into it are really into it, and our current regular venue isn't sick of us yet, so it's working for me. I'm not in it for the adulation, although it'd sure be nice to get more of it. I'm in it strictly for the camaraderie and creativity. Listening back to the recordings always put a smile on my face, and there's nothing better than that.

MCChris Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 It's sounds like a fun gig! How long you been playing at the current place?Since August. A wonderful little dive it is!This week's Freeform Friday jam segment is like sinking into quicksand: heavy and plodding, yet trippy! Enjoy!http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8621048
MCChris Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 This one's from a private practice space session. Starts off mellow with a bouncy bass line, shifts into second gear around the 2-minute mark, then into total overdrive around 3:10 into it.http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8636571
MCChris Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 love it. good stuff.Thank you sir!This one's a showcase for one of our sax players, Tony (I'm playing rhythm guitar):http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8657078

MCChris Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Another clip from Jan. 31. Clinton, the other guitarist in the core band, got a little crazy at the end of this one: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8780729 He's not blind but he plays the guitar in his lap like Jeff Healey:

BubbaVO Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I like that one. Kind of found itself after a bit.
MCChris Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I like that one. Kind of found itself after a bit.Most of our jams are like that. Once they are lost, then they are found.
