I opened for Jefferson Starship

admin | Sellout! | Monday, 07 July 2008

So, I’m in this band.  We’re called Sellout and it’s a bunch of musicians that decided that the artistic integrity of playing original music doesn’t pay quite as well as playing cheesey covers from the 70s, 80s and 90s for drunk people.  It’s fantastic!

We get some really cool gigs, we’ve played at the Horny Toad at Lake Ozark on the same stage that the likes of Willie Nelson and Randy Travis (the only 2 I can think of right now) have graced as well.  But this weekend was pretty cool.  We opened for Jefferson Starship in Junction City, KS on Saturday night.  I personally had absolutely no clue who this band was until I heard them sound check.  They playing Jane, Sarah, and the tune from Mannequin!  Neat.

Next month, we get to play (another) wedding but this one is unpaid!!  We have really made it now!
