The End of the Summer of Spiro
We just played what we guess will be considered our last show of the Summer. It marks the end of the first great season of Spiro's now tantalizing live show.
We most recently played at the Nautical Bean (September 2nd), a great place to play (even if the stage is no larger than a Doritos chip):
Thanks to all the people who came out to the Bean to see the show. We know that some of you came from the farthest reaches of the county to see us and we hope it was worth the drive. Some highlights of the show included Ryan's killer cover of Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, Dan's rendition of Shane Guess' classic Orangutan Harangue, and the band's strong performances of its own classics Only the Sun, Somewhere In the Past, Wasting Time, and covers of Buddy Holly's Every Day and Neil Young's Old Man.
The show we played before that was the exquisite 2 Dogs Coffee and Internet, a very pleasant place. We entertained a small group of people but rocked it all the same, playing some great tunes and accompanied on a few of them by the good friend of the band, Toby Willett, on loan from his band, Soul Reaction. Here's a cap from that:
More pictures were taken from both events and we'll try to make them available to you as soon as they arrive. Thanks to everybody who came out to see us at not only 2 Dogs and the Nautical Bean, but even at the semi-disastrous performance at the villanous Winery Music Awards at Cass Winery (where those who wanted to see us had to pay $15 to get in!). We hope to play these places again really soon and to see everybody again somewhere in the future (edit: the Hegemony apologizes for the appalingly bad joke just made. We apologize for not catching it before the post was published).
As usual, check back here for any updates and news from the band. Or you can go to our myspace profile (add us as a friend--we refuse no one!). We're going to try to update the web-site soon, to make it more accessible and copasetic to the band's current endeavors.
Until next time,
-Dan & Ryan
