Redemption

Yesterday we took part of the Feedback Magazine's P.U.S.H. Showcase. We got there just before 3pm and loaded in. We hung around and set up a table with some of our CDs and our mailing list. Most of the time if you don't mention it, people don't sign up for your mailing list or even take all the free junk you lay out.

Most of the bands, although good at what they did, sounded very similar. It's interesting to see a band and just know who their influences are. I do have to mention that we did see one band that really did amaze us more than any other group/performance. I don't remember their name right now but as soon as I remember it I'll post it.

Each band was given 15 minutes to play. Unfortunately most bands didn't listen to that rule. I started getting fairly upset when a band would bust in to song number four.

We did make a few new friends at P.U.S.H. and we're really excited to know all these new bands and people.

Just as we were about to leave Evie from Feedback told us to stick around because they were going to be giving away the prizes. As tired as we were, we're very glad we stayed. We were asked to do a radio interview with JStreet Radio 98.3 as soon as possible.

We won:
a video taping of a live show, and a taping of an interview
a video for one of our songs
graphic design work
We also were given the opportunity to play a festival at the Racine County Fairgrounds on August 21st.

That was the best 15 minutes for CANYON to date.
