St. A’s (Manchester, New Hampshire)

Anton here.  We played last night up in Manchester, NH, at St. Anselm College in the campus Pub.  Other than driving the wrong way down a one way street once we got onto campus (we didn’t get pulled over), we got there without any problems at all.  A couple of the highlights from the evening include the interesting “drinking” policy for musicians playing at the Pub, and being approached by 3 robed monks in the middle of our set to compliment us and to let us know how much they enjoyed our music.  The students that were hanging out had a great time, and told us some hilarious stories after we were done loading out.  They manage  to have a good time up there just fine, it sounds like.  And the setlist:

* The monks were already in the room at this point, and a fan at the show was shaking her head “no” when she realized we were about to play Nightlite Jesus, so we changed the words on the fly to make it a bit less controversial at this venue.  It was a good laugh for sure!
