Not sure what will come of this, but I hope it will become an interactive conversation between all of us in Groundwürx and our audience.
Where things stand right now -
Bill, Rick and I (Brüs) have left The FossilRock Show to form Groundwürx - a 3-piece rock band with an emphasis on finding unusual and challenging songs to play in a 3-piece context. We are trying to keep our ideas open to anything that might be interesting to play and enjoyable to our audience. We have been practicing for a couple of weeks now (there were several weeks during the summer we couldn't get together due to various work schedules) and are honing our sets for an upcoming gig at the Mill Rock Tavern in Milton, NY. We also have dates booked for the Geyser Pub and Michael's and are currently in talks with a few other places as well. We hope to be playing pretty steadily by January.
I don't want to spoil the surprises by revealing the setlist yet, but once we get out, hopefully we will get feedback on the selections and maybe one purpose of this blog can be for our fans to suggest or critique songs for us.
What I will say is that there are some favorites left from the FossilRock list and some really cool new songs. Judging from how things have been going at practice, the format is a little looser, but the playing has been really tight and spanning many genres. There are still the lights and sound we had in FR, and Denny and Ricky are still manning those for us. All in all, we think this new venture is going to be a lot of fun and give people some great music to groove to. Can't wait to get it out there.
