「Don’t play today」

…is what it feels like someone said to me today. It’s unbelievable that my guitar would stop making sound pretty much as soon as the song started. It’s problematic since you never know when it might happen. I was thinking “Eh, right now? Right now of all times?“. There wasn’t even time for anyone to investigate the problem. “We only have three minutes. No good, there’s no sound. I’ll put away the guitar.” (weirdly the only thing I thought of doing then. It couldn’t have taken me more than half a second, even though I was singing at the same time). Reluctantly I grabbed the mic, and thanks to you all, just walking around stage with that in hand was fun, too. (laughs) However, even though we ran into trouble at that kind of an event, no one on stage was bothered — actually, it only lifted our spirits further. I think that’s one of 9mm’s strengths. Seeing our appearance when it was airing just as I got back home made me think that again. The staff were immediately on it and I think there were people who didn’t even realize what’d happened. Looking at the footage, I realized didn’t say this when I was holding the mic, so I’ll say it here. Thank you to everyone who was there yesterday.

Ah, also, we’re recruiting people for the audience at Music Station. This is sudden but please do apply. Please see the details under the news-section on our homepage. We’re performing via live broadcast there, too. And it’s even on-air on a Friday at at 8 o’clock so that’s pretty nice. Let’s party. Sorry to the people who don’t get chosen. Please watch it on TV together with your lover or friend, grandpa or grandma, dad or mom, grandchild or pet cat. Just, forgive us in case there’s any trouble. (laughs)

It’s already June. With that, later.
