Vibra Optic's biorhythm for September has fluctuated almost as drastically as (insert Oprah weight-related punchline aqui)....

September 6th - Our third show scheduled for the Airliner w/Pursuit Utopia and Buffalo Electric goes horribly wrong when it gets so late that we don't even get to play. By 1am we find out that the booker for this event has taken off for the night, relieving himself of any responsibility for the few people who paid to see us play on a monday night. Explicative. As far as we are concerned, the Airliner's has firmly super glued itself onto our shitlist.

September 10th - Redeemingly successful show at the Dawg House in my backyard (Hacienda Heights) graciously shared with our friends Buffalo Electric. They owned the night, yet their shadow was very welcoming.

September 13th - We made our third appearance at the Commonwealth Lounge in Fullerton. Mixed in with an incredible lineup that included Adult Film and Beatmo, we played to the most packed house I had ever seen on a Monday night. Unfortuanately the sound was pretty off that night as there was a horrible buzz/cracking sound coming from the speakers that, as far as i know, no one was quite able to fix that night. Not only that, but the sustain pedal from the piano came loose that night during our slowest, most legato song (crucial time for a sustain). Kinda messed me up. I chose to drink that night away from recollection.

September 17th - Invited back at the dawg house on somewhat short notice. By this time, my sustain pedal decided to leave me indefinately for another woman. We battled through our technical issues nearly the entire set, though Bronson kept the beat going strong, which apparently was enough to generate interest in the crowd that night.

Sometimes I don't understand why were received so well during the times we sound like a menstral cycle, yet we're completely slept on the whenver we just kill it. But its at those times i turn on the tv and see Justin Beiber ride up in a limo and perform to thousands of screaming fans, and then I remember just how this world works.
