Les Runaways

“My mama says, ‘Sing the blues child, sing it from now on.’” (Koko Taylor—I’m a Woman) Well, my mama may not be black or know much about the blues, but she thinks I have some soul.

My band (Les Runaways) had its first gig…the place was packed and the energy high. Our drummer is from Australia and I’m convinced that he contacted half of Australia as the whole back room was filled with Australians who had received word about the live band. Most of the crowd consisted of foreigners with the exception of some of my friends and students who represented the Vietnamese population.

We had a great time and I’m looking forward to future opportunities. I have never seen that bar so packed as it was the night that we played. We have 5 people in the band: Mike (Canada/guitar), Matt (USA/guitar), Pierre (France/bass), and Nick (Australia/drums). As we don’t have much competition in Hanoi, we might just make a name for ourselves.
