The Beginning of the Instereo Blog

Instereo was started about 1994 by Matt Rushton. What began as a five piece dance band with a couple of girl singers has evolved into an irreverant trio of guys playing music that moves them and they hope moves you. Matt Rushton is on Lead Guitar, Ted Townsend on Drums and Tom Nedreberg on Bass. They all sing.

This blog though is not a history of the band. You can get that on our website. This blog is where we are going to talk about our gigs and our music. We hope you have some comments about those things as well and share them with us and everyone else who follows the band.

Our last gig was at the Canyon Inn in Salt Lake City. Actually most of our gigs are in Salt Lake City but...... we've played all over Utah and Wyoming and are up for anything. Anyway, the last gig was Halloween weekend at the Canyon Inn. If you weren't there, you missed something special. There was the usual costume party and contest and there were some great costume (I loved Little Red Riding Hood's outfit). After the contest we started our third set and when we got to the end of the set, we didn't feel like stopping, so we continued playing until closing time. I think I lost 5 pounds, I couldn't see because of the sweat in my eyes and at the end I was exhausted. It was great. People came up and danced on stage with us, people screamed, and no one would leave at the end of the gig. It felt good. I think if all our gigs were like this last one, I know I'd want to quit the daytime job and just play music. I guess the gigs make everything else in life tolerable.

We'll let you know what else is happening. Tell us what you think.
Tom
