Fun at the 8x10

It's been a busy week for Secret Language. Last Tuesday we played one of our favorite local venues, The 8x10, as part of Bridging The Music's local showcase. We got about as many people out as you would expect on a depressingly cold Tuesday night, which was to say a TON (am I serious or sarcastic? You'll never know!). All kidding aside we were surprised not only by the number of people who came out on such a dreary night, but by the sheer enthusiasm they had for every band that played. Not only was hearing the crowd chant along as we ripped through "Ghostbusters" awesome, but it also rendered Warren's shirt completely irrelevant.

While sadly we didn't win the showcase, we were able to take solace in the fact that the band that did win (Primitivity) completely annihilated their set. With a showcase judged mostly on ticket sales you run the risk of it becoming a popularity contest, but in this case I don't think any of us had a problem conceding defeat to them. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

 

Que pasa?

This weekend we'll be playing out a little closer to home at Chapalas in Burtonsville. Not only will you get to see four great bands for the price of one but you'll also get some of the best Mexican food this side of I don't know where (just take my word for it, it's damn good). The show kicks off at 9pm with our friends Vinny Vegas, if you haven't checked them out you can should do so right now by clicking on the video below, again just take my word for it that it'll be worth it. Secret Language will be closing out the show but make sure you get there early to come hang out with us and watch some great local bands. Hope to see everyone there!

We've got one additional show coming at the end of February in Columbia and have a bunch more that we'll hopefully be announcing soon, along with some other exciting stuff coming down the pipe (disclaimer: Your interpretation of the word "exciting" may not be in line with Secret Language's definition of said word). Hopefully we'll see you all out Saturday night!
