.....and a voice from the sky said : It's Rashaan.

I was called to fill in an 8:30 spot. Of course I dropped all my tickle-me-elmos and got ready. Running around the westside via public transit(Go Metro)and arrived. Sure as the sun-sets on sunset I sassed the crowd ; too bad I could only alert a few of my beloved freaks and geeks. But here is what cha missed.

February 19, 2010 House of Blues Set List

-Love Poems by Bilal
-Standing Room Only
-So Damn Far Away
-Second Hand Smoke

P.S I should warn you of the million other songs I have that start with or hold an obnoxious amount of "S's"
If you are into astrology and or numerology, I can explain this best. If not, consider it a mere coinkadink.

Set Lists as of Jan 9

House of Blues - Nov 6, 2009

Sweat in the eyes. A sea of pleasantly surprised people and attentive eyes as I managed to remember the words.

The Nihilist
Cassie
Fools
Damn Romantics
The Piano Room
Shoegazer
Red Queen
Science Fiction

Red Carpet Event(I got interviewed.....wah?)
Met some interesting people - stayed from 9pm to 4am cracking jokes and easy conversation with the belly-dancer's Folk Group. Good times.

Damn Romantics
Going Down
The Piano Room

The Pig and Whistle - Jan 9
My favorite gig to date. Though I spent the House of Blues on a tare(circling and mingling, feeling up on my date)
the intimacy that this venue provides is unparalleled. My jokes and VH1 story-teller style fit like a glove(not OJ's). It would appear that with each live performance, I resist the temptation to vomit from sheer nerve more and more.


Taxi Cab
Gasoline
Pico de Gallo
So Damn Far Away
Snake Skin
Fools
To the Quick
Second Hand Smoke
Christmas for the Pessimist

For the other gigs and their set lists, I was just a bad barry. Forgive me and rest assured that I will be a lot more anal with such concerns, for I know how much you kooky-kids like that stuff anyhow ;)

Set Lists and Giggers

I have played venues that are well-known, like The House of Blues, to the lesser known Pig 'n' Whistle and Universal Bar and Grill. Then there are the the ones that are totally off the radar, such as the Vintage store that closed a few months back off of Sunset/Highland(I played their last night of business) and a frat house-roof that will remain nameless for the time being. In the near future, aka when I get the gall and laptop-time to post the set lists and details to these adventures, I shall. Until then, it was great to enjoy your digital company until you can come out to one of these ho-downs yourself.

Mighty appreciated,
Avery Dena :/

Hello World. How are you?

Welcome to the documentation of my self-assertive adventures into this ripe world of ours. My name is Avery Dena and following the completion of this post will be the completion of my website. My music can be heard at reverbnation.com/averydena for those of you who wandered here while surfing or using stumbleupon. Nevertheless, I have set lists, lyrics, songs, poems, opinions, and obessions for the whole world to enjoy.

But for now, we'll always have Paris :)

Sincerely,
