The Whisky Batcave

June 15, 2025: We opened for the Richmond Flying Squirrels. They made us part of their pre-game show, so we were on the Jumbotron and in the PA. Ever try to sing while watching yourself on a big screen?

It was a trip. We had a handler saying things like “You have a 4 minute break, then you play for 10 minutes, then we have 15 minutes of commercials and zany crowd interaction stunts, and then we need you play for another 6 minutes” so we had to scramble our set list on the fly.

Of course we rose to the challenge. Unfortunately the mix over the PA didn’t have a lot of Kevin or Marc in it. But a few dozen people collected to stand in front of us and started moving and grooving to our solid monitor mix. Then Nutzy joined us for some air guitar. And everyone coming through the gate heard our monitors too.

Attendance for the game that day was 5,735 people. Of course they really came to hear us. It was … awesome.

June 8, 2025: We played at a block party for the Sadler Woods Homeowners Association. About 30-40 people gathered for pizza and sodas and socializing while we played through a 12 song set.

It was sprinkling that day so we set up in a resident’s garage and pointed our PA speakers outward. Everyone hid under portable awnings while it sprinkled then spread out on lawns when it was clear.

That was a lot of fun. We could do more of those.

December 21, 2024: We lured a dozen friends and family into Chris’ garage with promises of food and booze, then serenaded them with a 17 song set.

We didn’t play any Christmas music but Marc did hum Little Drummer Boy.
