I am playing keyboards for The Angry Inch.

They ended up hiring an entire local band that already plays together. It seems like a good choice to have cast an existing band. I heard them play at the audition and they're good. The chemistry is already there between them, so that ought to save time while learning the songs. However, they didn't have a keyboard player, so they called me.

We did a read-through last night. This should be great, but I'm glad it's temporary. The schedule will be rather aggressive, maybe 5 nights a week of rehearsal from now until the show in mid-February. Thankfully, my semester is coming to an end, but I still have one more programming assignment and a final exam to complete. Next semester, the class I wanted to take isn't offered. So, this seems like a good time to take a break from taking classes (I discovered I need to reevaluate the degree path I want to take anyway).

God gave rock n roll to me.

Congrats! Is there any chance the show will be taped and made available to the cast who will no doubt share it with their friends? :)

w00t! Live Arts is such a fun place to be, the people there are great! Hell, I might have to pop into town for a visit during the run, I'd love to catch the show and I'll be due for a visit by then :)

Congrats and have fun!
