OPEN MIC NIGHT @ the DEEP DIVE

Verve (guitar), Solstice (keys), Koil (drums)

It’s time to happily reflect on our Ithaca debut, which came in the form of an open mic night at the Deep Dive Bar. We were welcomed on-stage with open ears and eager eyes. The idea behind performing at this open mic night was to break the internal ice for our upcoming show at the Bundy Museum. We played GET IT OVER IT ALL (Solstice & Verve, SELF LOVE EP) as well as a dope freestyle over the Black Ops I Zombies theme. Believe it or not, somebody in the audience did pick up on the theme, which was super cool. After knocking out the acoustic set, we invited SHABLAMBO!!! on-stage for a quick beatbox battle. Additionally, a local rapper Mystory dropped a DOPE freestyle over some duo beatbox. The crowd went absolutely NUTS, revealing to us that they hadn’t experienced live beatbox before, let alone a live freestyle over it. I recall speaking with the bartender afterwards, and she told me that she had never seen every single person in the bar pull out their phone and record at the same time. That was a pretty awesome feeling, and a great experience for us. This was truly our first time performing on stage, and first time beatboxing on stage as well. I’d like to give a special thanks to Koil for featuring on drums, and to Wormy for capturing these moments! See ya in the next one, love Solstice <3
