My band The Male Gaze performed it's first show on May 14, 2010 at Woolpertinger's Talent Showcase in Syracuse, N.Y. From the very beginning, the band started out as an art-school joke - not taking ourselves seriously at all. We elevated our non-serious status by taking promotional band photo's of ourselves before we had actually managed to practice together. It was a slow and at times laborious process for us to get together to practice but we finally managed to get some song's together. I was really excited and nervous to perform on the actual day. I hadn't performed in a band since my high school days back in the 90's. We had a three song set - two originals and concluded the show with a cover of "Cut your Hair" by Pavement. I had also made promotional Male Gaze t-shirts to celebrate the performance. This was a definite highlight moment for me in my Syracuse graduate career. I truly hope we have a few more shows somewhere down the line. Here's a few photos and videos from the performance. Photos taken by the talented Miss Colleen Woolpert.
