taylor bortner live

[trent bortknob]

once a year my school has something called "coffee house" where some people sign up to play music and shit and then a lot of the student body goes and DOESNT SHUT THE FUCK UP DURING YOUR PERFORMANCES EVEN THOUGH THE RULES SAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO AND ANYONE WITH ANY RESPECT WOULD but whatever anyway so i played with some people i know and here are some vids

this is me playing neutral milk hotel's "oh comely"

my friend and i playing pink cigarette and retrovertigo by mr. bungle

the guitars are kind of quiet in this one because i dont own an electric acoustic and neither does bryson. for the other performances i borrowed people's guitars

this is my girlfriend and i playing "asilos magdalena" by the mars volta. i fucked up the vocals a lot in this one but the end is pretty cool

i'm not in this but these are my friends playing "venus in furs" by the velvet underground

and actually we were going to play more songs than this but the people running made us cut some songs to make sure that everyone had a chance to play. this is because the idiots running the event started 30 minutes late. anyway so we didnt play like half of our songs and then some fucking black chicks who didnt even sign up to play (or even GO TO OUR FUCKING SCHOOL) "played" (danced to) like 3 or 4 songs. so we took all of our instruments out to the lobby of the school and played really loudly and yelled and shit until we got kicked out

pretty fun night all in all

[rtil]

is this supposed to be a concert or something because the audience was really fuckin loud

[trent bortknob]

it's not really a concert it was just like an open mic night but sponsored by the school


one of the rules that the people throwing the event made clear to everyone was "don't talk during performances" but everyone did anyway because they're fucking gay

[Casey Pixmintro]

You're a pretty good guitarist and your voice is great as well. At some parts you guy got out of the rythm a little... would probably have been better with a drummer but those are hard to finda nowadays...

You did a great job there and it surely takes some balls to get on the stage and play ypur songs, especially if the audience seems to get louder and louder as in your case. You deserved more applause and a better audience, therefore I really like how you finished the evening. Must've been a great time.
