“I’m a hard-headed, conservative, Midwestern, Republican business man. Under no circumstances would I consider myself a person who goes around taking strange drugs. But my wife took LSD at a friend’s house and in order to get to agree to come home, I took stuff myself. We got in the car, and I had only drive three blocks, when suddenly over the pavement in front of me opened up. It was as though the paevement was flowing over Niagara falls…”

The AudioBodies to perform at the Everything Jersey City Festival! May 19th 2012

The AudioBodies are LOCKED IN for the EVERYTHING JERSEY CITY FESTIVAL!!!

MAY 19th 2012!!!

COME OUT!!

Ok So happy Monday! (try to make it happy)

Anyways- THE APOLLO!

Saturday MORNING!-We got up EARLY and headed down to the auditions for amateur hour!

Well there were HORDES of folks wanting to be heard or seen! So we patiently took a number and waited….for hours….

There were all sorts of folks there. Everyone trying to vie for a moment before the “judges”- Jugglers, singers, dancers, poets, rappers- all types…

Men, women and children…all ages…older folks who seemed to have been trying to get on that Apollo stage for years…Mothers with their children in colourful costumes decked out in rhinestones and glitter…

then there was us…(lol)

So after waiting a few hours….we were ushered into a very large room where a table of judges sat….

One after one…folks went up…

some where absolutely AMAZING….others…not so much…

They gave you exactly 30 seconds to impress them….

“If we like what you do- we’ll call you back-dont bother approaching us” - said the stoic judges….

Most folks were getting up and either singing Michael Jackson songs…or Whitney Houston….We didnt hear a single thing original as we sat there…our nerves just eating away at us….

“Number 110 please come up”…. it was our turn….

We got up…and Wyme got to the mic and said “Hello. We’re the AudioBodies….from Jersey City, NJ- Thank you for having us”

The sound man put a mic in front of my acoustic….

And we exploded into “Relapse”…

The sound system there was amazing…and as i pounded those strings…i could hear the sound filling the room and bouncing off the walls….i was so pleased with that sound…

Wyme clicked right in…we came in together…

No one in the room saw that coming…i could feel it…they didnt know what to expect from us…

i picked my head up to see what the reaction from the judges and other folks in the room…

and to be honest…they looks absolutely puzzled…stunned …shocked…

Not a single person in the room stirred…not one…there was a certain stillness in the room….eyes fixed…and at attention…as if they couldnt believe what they were hearing…

Towards the end of the song…and well over 30 seconds later…

a judge waved his hand and said “thank you”

and we walked off…quietly…no one spoke…not one word….

Everyones eyes dissected us as we quietly-unceremoniously walked out the door….

“How did you think that went?” i asked Wyme…

“I dont know but that sounded AMAZING- we killed it” -said Wyme…

We def killed it…we jumped in and gave it all we have…and i am so proud of us for that…

We were bold enough to give it a shot…to do something different…original…something of our own…and we put it out there….

Maybe they werent ready for something new and fresh? or maybe they are?….who knows…no point in making ourselves crazy with questions or doubts…

whatever

I hope they call us to be on the show…

but if they dont…
