The Coggs played Thursday night at The Pour House - an awsesome show to a packed house, amazing time had by all and met some cool people from the other side of the country. Friday we played our normal Rainbow gig and played again at The Pour House both Friday and Saturday nights. We learned that working our normal day jobs + playing...make that drinking + no sleep caught up with us, namely Jeff, and he's still suffering from a stubborn cold. Ah, it's all part of it, I guess. We're playing at Zaphod's on October 20th with 2 other amazing acts: The Waters Brother and Hollow Water...seems to be a 'water' theme there... both bands have amazingly talented musicians and it'll definitely be a night that shoudln't be missed.
