Wow, where do we begin for Friday night's show at the Aqua Lounge? All in all, it was a pretty fun, "interesting" night. During our set, we were told by the bouncer at the club that the cops were outside because we were too loud. Later on, an all out brawl almost broke out when The Repercussions set was cut short and they didn't want to get off stage. Do you think it might have had something to do with it being Friday the 13th? We think we'll be avoiding Long Island for a while regardless...
Our set list was:
