The
FM Initiative Performs at 2AM Management Showcase
The
FM Initiative performed live at 2AM's Annual Artist Management
Showcase in Springfield, MA. The group performed from 10:30-11:30
on the main stage through a 100,000+ watt PA system. This
performance marked several significant milestones in the history
of the group - first and foremost, it was by far the largest
crowd we've ever performed before (between 3,000 and 4,000
people were in attendance). Second, it was the first show
performed with recent line-up additions Kirstin Peterson on
vocals and Chris Anderson (of raleigh's own Stranger
Spirits) on drums - hopefully, the first of many to come!
They did a fantastic job! Keep watching the website in the
upcoming weeks for a full length quicktime download of our
entire performance....
I
have to extend several thank-you's: to Keith Haas, 2AM
Management and True for giving us this opportunity to
perform - they extended us every courtesy and kindness, made
room for all our gear on-stage, and made sure that both we
and our equipment were safe. Here's what Keith had to say
about our performance:
"...I
personally am honored with their performance as they showed
us that music in all forms is truly universal and can touch
everyone! I think they gave a performance like no other and
should play more often in our area.....This group drove 12
hours from North Carolina because they felt they had something
to give to the New England scene and God Dammit.... THEY DID!
To DJ FM and your group, you owe us absolutely no thanks what
so ever. I speak for myself, Jeff Gil, all the production
crew and every person who attended "The 2am Project" when
I say, You are hands down, a performance within a performance!
Because of the performance you gave, you are GREATLY responsible
for the vibe that went through that building on Saturday night!...."
Aside
from that, these guys know how to throw one KICK A** PARTY!
I think I can speak for everyone in the group when I say that
we had a great time and look forward to working with 2AM in
the future. I'd also like to give a HUGE thanks to the guys
from Shy Productions,
who handled sound for all of the artists and DJ's performing
that night, as well as Jeff and The Asylum for providing such
a great venue for this event.
And
one additional thank-you: to the kids. You made us feel welcome,
even though we were 12 hours away from home. You cheered us
on, you danced, you enjoyed what we did. As a musician and
songwriter, I couldn't ask for anything more. And from what
I could tell, there were 0 attitudes and 100% positive energy.
For those that know, I'd say P.L.U.R. was in full effect.
Thanks to all of you, and we'll be seeing you again soon!
