Hello, friends! Rob here.
I would like to start this weekend not with a recap of our impressively busy weekend, but rather with a tribute to the newest member of The Revivalists:
The Moustache. Do not call it “Zack’s Moustache.” You would not call Zack “the Moustache’s Face,” would you?
Actually, you might.
The moustache joined Zack about a month ago, and their arrangement has been very much mutually beneficial. The Moustache is finally receiving the exposure it deserves, and it has done wonders for Zack’s confidence as well. Here is a photograph of Zack pre-moustache. Note the nakedness of his upper lip and the utter lack of direction in his life:
The Moustache is currently in its late adolescence. It has survived the awkward “1970′s porn star” phase that plagues many a young pushbroom, and is maturing nicely into the fullness of adulthood, whereupon it will allow Zack to begin waxing it into more of an 1870′s saloonkeep type of shape. The Moustache’s twitter account currently has tens of followers, and it is a popular contributor at The American Mustache Institute. Here is a photograph of The Moustache with one of its many adoring fans (also pictured: Zack Feinberg):
The Revivalists are delighted to have joined forces with such a prodigious moustache, and we are anxious to see what new musical boundaries we can now push as a seven-piece ensemble. We’ll close out this little tribute with a candid photo of Zack and the Moustache palling around:
Bold, confident, innovative. Moustache.
Anyway, moving on, changing gears, and what have you. What a weekend! Seriously, whose idea was it to put a day show in New Orleans smack in the middle of two night shows in Pensacola? We did Thursday and Friday in Pensacola, drove back on Friday night, played Tulane’s wonderful Crawfest Saturday afternoon, drove to Pensacola, played for about 2-3 hours (with a few breaks), then drove home. Lots of driving, lots of heavy lifting, lots of extra personnel, lots of fun, a fair amount of shots (and in my case, on Thursday, an unfair amount of shots), and not a whole lot of sleep. It started about 2:00 in the afternoon on Thursday, when we left New Orleans to play a club called Live in inland Pensacola. 64 hours and four shows later (and feeling about ten years older), I’m hobbling up the steps to my apartment at 6:00 AM on Sunday. I stop about halfway up as it hits me. This is exactly what I was doing 24 hours ago.
Awesome. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Dave and I are both traveling to our respective hometowns for Easter. I believe that Dave will be doing some acoustic shows in the greater Hamilton, OH area, but other than that we won’t be up to much. The only concert the whole band has between now and next Blog Wednesday is a one-song performance at Gambit Weekly’s Big Easy Music Awards. Oh yeah, we’re also nominated for Best Emerging Artist at the same awards show! Wish us luck!
Until next time, Moustache fans! Keep it ‘stachey.
