trentalange

at 8 1/2 months, a pregnant belly is hard to disguise

I am performing with Seattle’s “Head Like a Kite” this Saturday night at the crocodile. Since about six months into my pregnancy, I decided not to do any more “Trentalange” shows until after the baby is born, for a couple of reasons.

1. I have a ton of gear that is heavy and cumbersome and no roadies

2. My guitar doesn’t sit right over my swollen belly

I have been continuing to perform with HLAK though and have been having a great time just being a backup singer again. No pressure, just a lot of fun playing music with my good friends.

Getting ready for a show is always something that I enjoy putting some thought into, “what am I going to wear to this show?” Now that I am have a huge pregnant belly, those thoughts are more like “oh my god, I have to stand next to Zera Marvel and Graig Markel on stage? (Two very attractive and ultra-svelte performers) What the hell am I going to wear that doesn’t make me look like I stuffed a 20 pound turkey under my shirt?” I may have one or two more shows in me before baby Trentalange makes her debut. Maybe I should take this opportunity to do something creative, though I am definitely not giving into Dave’s suggestion of wearing a bikini. I’ll spare the audience that sight.
