SHOWS!
Here's our list of "Gigs". Hi Deb!
5/19/00 - DREAM CENTER, Lake City, Florida. Decent gig, lots of new faces & a foosball table! I would recommend this club to anyone in the area. We were able to play 3 of our sets & run the light show without any problems. We ditched the last set so the locals could finish up their breakdancing contest. I think Bubba won.
1/07/00 - UNIVERSITY CLUB, 18 W.University Ave. A
REAL
show! Joel & Mark were able to
book Gainesville's premier dance club. PRAYERDOG was accepted with open arms & rocked the
club for a full hour & a half! All the songs went off without incident.(Especially the pop-acoustic
instrumental,"Follow"!) We also unveiled the New Chunk, 1/2 a New Speaker & the now famous Light
Show! We also played our one & only cover, Spike the Cat's "Writing My Name", which was well
received by Spike. Thanks to our die hard fans who came out to support us & the club patrons who were
liberal with their applause. Thanks to everyone involved & especially to the University Club for being
the most open minded club we have played yet. We were allowed to perform explicitly christian material
in what is considered a very "dark" place. Jesus's light shone brightly that night & we hope to
bring light to many more clubs in the coming year. See, I went the whole pararaph without saying
"MILLINEUM!"
9/15/99 - DG's Coffee & More, Tune up Gig III. A band from Virginia was floating through so
PrayerDog became the Headliner! We were able to get through all our tunes with no technical
problems. A small but vocal group showed up to support us. Thanks again to all our fans!
9/10/99 - DG's Coffee & More, Tune up Gig II. A lot of people showed up for this one.
Many people from campus & a wide variety of Emo kids & Rockers. Our core fans came out
& there were even some reported sightings of a signed band checking us out! Things went
real smooth with all our songs, Joel was jumping aroung like a man posessed by, well, God.
Mark was able to sing backup vocals & the rest of the band cooperated throughout the gig,
We added 2 new songs, Ludicrous & Solution. Solution ROCKS & Ludicrous is, well,
Ludicrous!
DG's isn't a club but is a great place to cut our chops. PRAYERDOG would like to thank
Jesse & Claire Johnson & the tireless efforts of Chris to bring Christian music out of the closet.
8/14/99 - DG's Coffee & More, Tune up Gig. We weren't expecting a large turnout
so we invited all our friends & family to support us. We were able to get through
all of our sets with only minor technical difficulties. Everyone was very supportive
and we thank you all for coming out. I especially want to thank ERIC for coming out to
support us & give us encouragement in our ministry.
7/28/99 - Common Grounds Coffeehouse, Open Mike Nite. We were not sure how we would go over
at a coffeehouse, but they allowed us to haul our gear in & set up to play so we went at it!
After a few minutes of technical mayhem, we settled into our set. At first people were
stunned but by the end of the set they were applauding and encouraging us to play more!
There were at least 50 people in the club & people were peeking in the windows!
Our set was the one we use as a closer because it hits SO hard. The songs were:
ROCK, DOG, ROADBLOCK, CITY & a reprise of TORRENTIAL.
Here are some comments from the crowd afterwards:
"INTENSE!"
"That was Awesome!"
We believe that God put us there when he did because there were many references to lucifer & sin but
we were able to counter those feeble comments with a resounding HALLELUIAH!!
