We have finally got the set list hammered down for the A-Town Mob CD Release Party show on Friday, June 5th at 7pm. We’ve been working all week at finishing up a few new songs and trying them in different orders. Our main problem is that we are only playing a 25-minute set and with such a short amount of time it’s hard to make a dynamic set. But after much debate it looks like the set list will be:

Broken – A new song we have been working on for a long time. We started working on it about 5 months ago when John brought a riff to practice but just couldn’t find the the other parts. It would pop up every now and then showing its ugly face at us and laughing, but we tamed the ugly beast by giving it a refrain and bridge/solo.

Self Esteem – This one almost went away a few different times, but John would never let it go. There were some worries that the song resembled “In The Way” too much, so the song started changing, getting softer and more complicated, until one day it snapped. Self Esteem didn’t want to be soft and/or complicated, it wanted to rock. It completely reverted back to the way it started with a few minor additions and tweaks added by Nick.

Petunia Pussylittle – A staple for every Achalachia show, Petunia Pussylittle is quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Better Than This – Played for its first time live at the Pop’s May 6th show, it seems to be the perfect middle of the set breather that the set list needs.

Vomit – Also played for its first time live at the Pop’s May 6th show, Vomit actually has nothing to do with its name. During the creation of the song we needed some way of referring to it, and Adam thought up Early Morning Vomit, it stuck. Now just shortened to Vomit, its quickly becoming an Achalachia favorite.

Personal Canary – By far one of the more exciting songs for Achalachia to play, Personal Canary is one of the oldest songs in the Achalachia playbook, but has gone through some of the most dramatic changes over time.

For future shows, if there is a song you would like to hear us play, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
