Brett reminisces…on Sunset Junction

July 14, 2011 § Leave a Comment

“Sunset Junction time again and not a minute too soon!  Ok I’ve only ever been once, but it counted for at least 1.5/2 for sure, we really made that place our …own.

I performed with my band The Donnas, it was our first show in a long time because we were in the middle of recording at Conway studios, where days and weeks mingle and breed to create a time no clock can mess with.

Anyway, I remember the sound was crazy on stage, and I was in studio mode, ie no sun, no lights, no witnesses, so the mic stand felt like a Boa Constrictor in my grip and the audience looked like a jury. Sure enough that feeling disappeared as soon as the blurry faces became clear and I remembered that we were amongst friends and family. The show took on a life of it’s own ending in a chant “Back to the mansion! Back to the mansion!” which was a fav joke of ours at the time.

 My hope for this year is we’ll skip straight to the ‘show taking on a life of it’s own’ part, and that I’ll acquire a mansion, or the use of a mansion between now and August  27thI have faith in the individuals, I have trust in the whole, and I have hope for the unknown factors that toy with our temperaments daily!  Let’s make it gOOd!!”  – Brett

…and here you go : The Donnas – Sunset Junction 2004
