This was the very first Secret Society performance, and -- much to my relief -- we played for a large and enthusiastic crowd. It was a real thrill to have our inaugural gig at a venue I've wanted to play since I was six years old (even if we were, technically, downstairs from and next door to the main stage). It was also great to be part of Dee Pop's late, lamented Freestyle Jazz series, which had some of the most varied and adventurous programming in NYC.
As you may have heard, CBGB are having a wee bit of trouble with their landlord. While things are currently looking pretty grim, if any venue can claw its way up out of the grave and return to terrorize the villagers once again, it's CB's. And if you missed the chance to check out CB's Freestyle Jazz in its heyday, rumor has it that there will be one last final final blowout concert on Wednesday, October 19th.
