She's Gaga and I'm gaga... for her
I was recently asked to get on board for this talented ball of gorgeousness as her bassist for her Monster Ball tour. I gladly accepted. Im pretty sure there is no other pop star I would've said yes to. For me to go thru 12 hour rehearsals everyday, get pulled aside to make sure my attitude is on point, and be on a tour bus with all guys for long hours (just kidding guys, im proud to be by your side), and schlepp suitcases around numerous airports...I defintely have to be a fan.. and I am. I am so excited about the coming months and seeing the entire show come together. I can tell you right now...it's HUUUGE.
I will be sure to keep a tour diary on another blog to keep any fans posted about the world behind the scenes. See you at the show!
...and for those who keep asking how I got the gig saying, "I didnt even know you played bass". Yes, I went to music school many moons ago studying ferociously until I was given the Chair Award on my instrument upon graduation. Since then I kinda lost interest since I had no real intention on being a work horse studio or touring musician for other people. It was only 2 weeks prior to meeting my old college buddy who hired me for the gig that I even picked up the bass again for my own project, Betty Black. kizmet. On this gig, I will most likely still be playing the same used Fender bass my step-dad bought me when I was 16.
