Thanks to all the good folks who came out for the Scampertastic show at the Middle East Upstairs on Friday. A good time was had and then rewinded and had again. Those of you who didn't make it - may your genital hair be infested by tiny microscopic robots bent on world domination. Because that would suck.
Some highlights from the show:
- During dinner before the show, the band played a new game called "Let's Team Up on Keith and Try To Get Him to Admit For Once That He's Wrong About Something." This was really fun for everyone... except Keith. Nope, he didn't enjoy that one so much.
- The band before us was Jetlagger, who were reuniting after over 3 years apart. They brought tons of fans out to the show, which was terrific. I was a little worried that since Jetlagger was so much heavier rock than us that a) a lot of people would leave once we started our unique brand of sugary power pop and b) the people that did stay would thoroughly hate us and throw big heavy wrenches at our heads. Luckily, a lot of people stayed and seemed to really dig us. The one guy that did throw a wrench at us was just mad because his girlfriend was falling in love with Mike. So it was a typical reaction to a typical good Scamper show.
- This show marked a lot of firsts for the band Scamper. It was the first time that Mike wore his brand-spanking new drummer's gloves. He not only managed to play rock solid beats without cutting his finger open (for once), but also went 3 for 4 with 5 RBI.
It was also the first time Nate wore his now-infamous "Steve Guttenberg" t-shirt, which was given to him as a gift from the band for doing such a bang-up job setting up the March residency at the Abbey Lounge. It just says "Steve Guttenberg." That's it. And why wouldn't it? Makes perfect sense, no?
- After the show, the other Scamps left to their wild "rock and roll parties" and "7-month old babies," but I hung out for the rest of the show. Max Heinegg & The Nervous and the Bon Savants were both excellent. Overall, it was a weird, eclectic night of rock that somehow managed to work.
I know I'm a little late on this "big announcement," but here it is: our next show is Saturday, June 4 at the Paradise Rock Club with Fooled By April. It is their CD release show and should be the show of a lifetime. You cannot miss this one. Mark it on your calendar right now, poopie.

Blah blah blah. Glad to hear your show went well.
Whaaaa? What did I do, Ms. Cranky Pants?
Judging by the comments (or lack thereof), you can see that no one cares about your stupid show.
(I'm only bitter because I couldn't come).
