Elvis has left the building!
It's a bird! It's a plane! No... It's Elvis! He lives. Again...again...again...and again. Five Elvis's? Could it really be? Yes! It is! We did this gig through Ken Arlen. He hired us to dj the Four Season's holiday party. Half-way through the party, there was a performance with five Elvis impersonators. They sang "Viva Las Vegas" and then did an encore of "Jailhouse Rock." Other cool things about the party was the dance contest where we switched from song to song to song, only playing a minute or so of each song while the contestants were being weeded down to the final winner.
Erik Friedly assisted me on this gig. I like working with him because he thinks so differently than me. His knowledge of rock music greatly surpasses mine and I was hearing stuff I haven't heard in a long time. I love playing with someone with different music tastes because it expands my knowledge. We hopped back and forth all night and when I got stuck, he would be there to back me up and take over. It kept the energy of the party up and moving and my creativity was totally sparked from those interactions.
