Gatecrasher had heard about The RedBloods getting a last-minute call a few weeks back to open for The Red Velvet at The V Club in Huntington March 7. It’s an interesting lil’ story, so we asked RedBloods frontman Seth Baker to tell it:

“You see, Saturday afternoon I was leaving the doctor’s office, having just been diagnosed with strep throat, shivering with fever and holding a prescription for antibiotics in my hand when my phone rings with the offer to open for The RV… in 3 hours.

I’ve been digging on their music for a while, and it sounded like a lot of fun. So, I gargled with this god-awful concoction of salt water, cayenne pepper and booze [ed. note: cheap whiskey], ate a bunch of antibiotics, and within an hour I was good to go.

We all had a great time and exposed ourselves to some new people (but not in a trench coat flasher kind of way. That was after the show). Both the RV and the V Club seemed pleased to have us fill in on such short notice, and we were happy to fill the slot.

Right now we’re looking forward to playing with The Red Velvet again March 29 at Marley’s Doghouse. Last Saturday, was kind of a warm-up, a nice break from the constant writing and recording.

I just hope I didn’t get anybody sick.”
