On October 21st, I attended and participated in a gig at Corners Pub. My band (Monster Hamster) and another band (Delta Force) played and following that there was a short skit by some of the theater students. It was a full house and we were able to play fun pop songs as well as some slower more sweet sounding songs. Delta Force played some great alternative rock songs, and the theater students put on a great show!
The setlist for Monster Hamster was:
Thinking About You by Calvin Harris
The Nearness Of You originally recorded by Hoagy Carmichael and then remade by Norah Jones
Counting Stars by OneRepublic
Vem Vet by Lisa Ekdahl
Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae
Thriller by Michael Jackson
After we played, Delta Force took the stage and rocked the house with these songs:
Tuulee by Don huonot
Jos tahdot tietää by Maarit Hurmerinta
Mestaripiirros by Egotrippi
All at sea by Jamie Cullum
Kärleken väntar by Kent
Undantag by Bo Kaspers Orkester
Tompkins square park by Mumford & Sons
Moondance by Van Morrison
Then the theater students came and performed a two person skit about a news reporter doing a segment on a sports character, then getting caught drinking on set, and then reporting on a dancer. It was really cool and even though it was all in Finnish, it was fun to watch and to understand what was going on!
I really enjoyed myself, and after talking to all of the other musicians before and after the show, they all had a good time too! It was amazing to be able to play with and to talk to such talented people and see how they view performing and learning about performance and music.
