Update.1

A lot has been going on in the world of Breckenwood the past couple of months. Despite me moving back to Pennsylvania, we have still had more than enough shows to stay active. Since the last post, we performed at Shermans again, this time with Cam too on a chilly fall night on the brand new stage! Unfortunately, not too many people showed up, but it was a fun set anyway, plus we got to eat more of their delicious food again! After trying the taco fries for the first time, Cam literally got up from the table and hugged the building. This is a must hit place for food for everyone in the area!

The next mentionable show was at Club Noir in Buffalo where we got to play for a group of friends and my brothers. It was a pretty cool venue, and it had its own draw of a few people, even after 2 AM when we got off stage. Its always nice playing a show for a good crowd where you can throw everything you got at them. This leads me to what is my favorite show of all time so far: Pump Up the Jams!

Last night, we had a mini convoy and all headed back to Franklin, PA for Pump Up the Jams with A Working Progress, Almost Lifelike and My Cardboard Spaceship Adventure. Due to complications, Cam and Nick arrived late, and MCSP graciously volunteered to go on for us, and they killed it! If you check out any underground band, check these guys out. Their music is catchy and well written, full of energy and all four of them are just great guys talking to them! During their last song, Cam and Nick arrived, so they literally unloaded and went on stage, and the response was superb! While sound checking, I was messing around and playing Always by Blink 182, and a large group of the crowd started singing along, all the way to the second verse! There was a girl wearing a Breckenwood shirt right in the front row, and through the set, many people were able to sing along to some of our songs. We all got so into it, I was jumping around and running around, Garrett would go and play and sing into the crowd, allowing Katie and a few other people to sing, and even Nick broke a sweat. Our last song, All the Small Things was just one last bang to the show. Everyone seemed to LOVE it, and dipped down with us during the interlude without us doing anything to prompt them. In all, it was just the best show I've ever played. As Mikey was saying during MCSA's set, Megen really does know how to put on a great show, outdoing people who do it for a living. Again, thanks to all the bands, especially MCSA, Megan and all the people who came out to create a fun show for all the bands! I'll upload some pictures if any get posted.
