On March 5th, Move Your Mountain played its first show at Zaphod Beeblebrox. Move Your Mountain is a power-pop trio that Kevin, Chris and I started in August 2010. We’ve been getting together once a week since September to jam, and March 5th was the night we finally unleashed our tunes. It was pretty intense practicing on weekly basis with school & work, but I’m really happy we powered through and continued to jam.

Needless to say it was a wicked-awesome night. The Start, a local cover band opened the night with some kickass covers of British hits. We played our set after The Start. I was nervous as hell at first since it was our first time playing our tunes in front of an audience, but the nervousness melted away after a song or two (I think I was melting too, I was so damn sweaty on stage… sorry for the B.O., guys). The headliner band, Brainhunter ended the night with some rockin’ tunes (BRAAAAAINS anyone?).

What was cool was that the next morning, we were mentioned in Andrew Carver’s blog on National Capital Rock. He’s also got some sweet pictures from the show on his Flickr.

We’re going on a brief hiatus as Chris will be going on vacation, but things will really pick up once he comes back. I’m going to be graduated from university, and back at Shopify full-time (hopefully). We’ll be getting together more often to jam and play more shows, and we plan on recording sometime in May/June. Once we have good recordings, we’ll be launching our website.

BIG THANK YOU to everyone for coming to the show, my buddy Jesshi for the awesome pictures, Andrew Carver for mentioning us on NatCapRock, and Brainhunter & The Start for the awesome night, hopefully the first of many more.
