Just An Update

In a fit of creativity, I managed to bang out two good tunes between Thursday and today, and get solid ideas down for two more. One of the tracks really surprised me; it came out very raw, like Social Distortion meets Molly Hatchet or something, not my usual M.O. Regardless, it works, and is a shitload of fun to play. Today Tim and I went over the four songs we've got thus far, and at the moment everything seems to be a keeper, though anything can change as new tunes enter the fold, plus there are still two extra Tim songs hanging around that we've yet to go through. On the administrative side of things it sounds like our one gig will be at the Klinic down on Park Street, probably on August 18th (it's a Thursday), plus we've got the recording details down and Tim and Erika thought up a few more good leads for drummers. I'll be knocking out an official band website tomorrow and will just host it on my server space, then if the drummer and gig fall into place, all that's left are the easy parts: the writing and the playing.

It's really satisfying to be doing totally guitar-driven music again, and, I gotta say, to be doing vocals. With Tim and I at the helm of this thing there's constant harmonizing and lots of countermelodies all over the place, which is lots of fun. More writing for me tomorrow, but for now I...must...sleeeeeep...
