In the early 2000’s the local Fox affiliate in Seattle would sometimes have live bands in the studio during their morning broadcast. It was pretty cool – the band would be in the studio near the news room, and they would cut to the band while going out to commercial, or coming back from a segment or whatever.
Leslie had a friend who worked there and got us an intro with the booker for that feature. In January 2003 we were invited to come down and be the in-house band one day.
It was a really cool experience, although it’s really hard to “rock out” at 7:00am in kind of a sterile performance space. We had a blast, though, and it was definitely a highlight for the band back then. We were promoting a show at Doc Maynards, and the booker at the club was surprised & very happy with us that we were promoting the show so well!
We put up a montage video on YouTube if you want to see what it looked like…
Good times…. 🙂
