The Short Term Melody at Golden West College

For the first time in one year, The Short Term Melody played live. Too much time had passed since we did so, but it might have been for the better. All of us had time to grow musically and since the beginning of the summer, had been rehearsing frequently and regularly, all things which benefitted our performance. 

We played at a welcome back even at Golden West College, a community college in Huntington Beach. We had a great time and everyone that was there to watch seemed to have a good time too. Someone in the crowd repeatedly requested for use to play a song by Iron Maiden. 

"Maiden! Maiden! MAIDEN!' That's what we heard from the stage. Unfortunately we could not fill his request. Who can sing like Bruce Dickinson? I hope the onlooker wasn't to upset; Iron Maiden's shoes are just too big to fill. 


What made this gig really is cool is that some of our friends, some of whom we haven't seen in a while came out. Our friend Tom, an aspiring film maker also came out with his friend Alex to film the show. I'd love to see this footage... Tom. haha. 


Someone was so kind enough to write about our performance in their blog, This Is A Good Song. It's a great blog that has opened my eyes a good song or two. We send to you many, many, many thanks!

Here are some pictures from the show. Photographs courtesy of Melissa.
