Here is the full video of Plush from 1/22/24 rehearsal:

Plush performance 2/26

There may have been one or two minor “clunkers” in that full run-through so I trimmed a clip that sounded more tight. Considering it was only the second rehearsal the band sounded damn good! Here is the clip that was submitted for Hermosapalooza:

I LOVED the direction you were going with plush.  This piano/vocal sheet will be an awesome resource, I think, that is very much the lane you were in. Try it as a launching pad

The biggest thing to consider for your part is being super locked with the drums.  When practicing to the track, make sure your right hand isn’t falling behind at all.  Even though the song has a kind of “lazy” feeling snare, you definitely want be hitting the envelope of your note at the very front of the beat.

For me, the thing that makes this song such a HUGE sound is in the secret of the placement of the backbeat.  The reason the snare sounds so immense is where it is on the beat.  If we can lock that snare in, the band will melt so much face… All the of the face melting.

Here is a video to give you some ideas of how to improvise a bit at the end of Homesick to add energy and interaction with the band.
