The show was clever, satirical, and relevant. They followed the basic formula of the sitcom while actually being genuine &#8212; not cheesy. We don&#8217;t embody all these qualities yet, per-se, but we strive to. Most importantly, it aired in the seventies!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What&#8217;s the strangest show\/venue you&#8217;ve ever played?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn our infancy as a band, we had a very strange evening at a so-called kitchen. They split our sets up into very small portions, between which were fire dancers and an eastern music duet. There was a lot of potential for an interesting show, but a ticket for the event cost thirty five dollars. On top of that, it was the first time our trumpet player (who we were nothing without, at the time) had missed a performance so we were very unconfident. The air was filled with awkward all night long. We even got heckled!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Picture-21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4219\" title=\"HGTR\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Picture-21-203x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Picture-21-203x300.png 203w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Picture-21-54x80.png 54w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Picture-21.png 346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><strong>3.
