Thursday, June 2nd, 2005 - Day One: The Garden Grille - Albany, New York |
|
BuzzUniverse kicked off our
first ever weekend tour up north with a stop at the very unassuming
spot called the Garden Grille in Albany, New York. When we first walked
into the venue, our first impression was that it was a scary dive bar.
You can never judge a book by it's cover.

Catherine, who was nice enough to not only invite us to perform, but
also to spend a month promoting the show and convincing all of the regulars
to make it out on a Thursday, and packing the bar.

Aside from the four of us, who you see in the above slightly blurry picture, are a bunch of the greatest folks we have ever had the opportunity to perform for. This little hole in the wall had the greatest bunch of music fans with open ears and open hearts, who hung out, listened to us play all night long, bought up most of our CDs and even helped us unload. This was truly the best tour kickoff we could have imagined. |

Freddy and Alex had an impromptu
jam session outside the hotel in Albany, as we got ourselves pumped
up for the drive to Vermont the next day!
