These, My Friend, Are Every Show We've Ever Played (So Far)

6/19/03...Huntington St. Cafe, Shelton CT...This was the first time Graduate ever performed in front of anybody (expcept for our parents and occasional stalking friends). It was just me and Davey, and all we played was "Change" and an old song called "Coincidence", but it was so much fun.

6/26/03...Huntington St. Cafe, Shelton CT...In fact, it was so much fun that we came back and played the week after. Except this time, there was like twice as many people, so I, Johnny, was pretty nervous and spent 20 minutes tryin to remember two songs worth of lyrics. But it again was alot of fun. It was now Chris's first and we played "Tonight" and another old song called "Chance Of Your Life". We had planned on playing there every week until the end of the summer, but then we found out they were banning us for attracting so many wild and non-coffee buying teenagers. But we still had fun anyways.

10/05/03...Shelton Day, Shelton CT...This was our first full-on, stand-up, electic gig played at our annual town fair. We shared an hour with Evoked so we played (in order) "Anything More", "Tonight", "Sympathy", "Overjoyed", and "The Same". We screwed up a little, but we got some good praises.

10/18/03...Warsaw Park, Ansonia CT...This was a benefit show set up by the local Valley United Way Youth Leadership Program. The show was for a boy named Ryan DiCamilla from Derby living with Leukemia. We were the first band to play and we shared the stage with The Royal Assassins, Evoked, A Certain Something, and Grover Dill. We only had 1/2 hour set, so we played "Anything More", "Change", "Overjoyed", "The Same", and "Tonight" (With a little West Side Story lyrics at the end of "Tonight"). It was a lot of fun and although only about 100 kids saw us, but I think they really enjoyed it.
