Blame the PA!

Well hah. I just got the jury report emailed to me with regard to Moonbug’s performance at the West Talent rock rally. It goes:
“Moonbug started off very promisingly with a riff remniscent of Pinback, but the songs unfortunately didn’t get what they deserved.”
Blame the PA: close to no monitor!
“A number like “These Boots” has lots more potential.”
The jury obviously didn’t have a clue as to the origins of this song, which is of course a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made For Walking” – we played only part of it in a sort of frenzic Dick Dale-ish punk-rock version; sort of an interlude to glue together two other songs.
“A very nice sound, surely, but the interaction between the players was less than satisfactory.”
