Work
Work's been pretty killer, lately.  We just got through the 4th of July, which will probably be the high point of the entire summer, but there's still two more months to go.  The job is fairly stressful but I am glad that I have the level of control that I do.  I'm making pretty decent money and I'm slowly pulling myself out of debt but I doubt ( Read more... )

Haven't had a whole lot of time to update in a while and today's not any different so I'll keep this brief ( Read more... )

I would've posted about this earlier but I had my last final today so I've been pretty pre-occupied. Anyway, we had a show this past weekend at the Dark Embrace Dungeon and it was our first time playing there. A lot of dedicated metal heads come out to see this show AND there's alcohol present so it's usually a pretty good crowd. Unfortunately, ( Read more... )

In case you were unaware, our normal singer has been down for a little while because of a problem located between his skull and his brain. We think that he's going to be alright but he was unable to do shows so he got one of his friends to step in and take his place while he recovered and tonight was our first show with him. We have exactly one ( Read more... )

So my band had a show this past saturday playing with three other bands. We debuted one new song and then played our normal set of songs. The crowd that night was not only pretty small (I think that it peaked at MAYBE 30 people but that's being generous) but they didn't really seem to get into the music of ANY of the bands. I miss that crowd ( Read more... )

I can't even begin to describe how well tonight's show went. I wasn't really expecting a whole lot because I thought the turnout would be relatively low but surprisingly there were a good amount of people who showed up. On top of that, the bands that showed up all did a pretty damn good job (two of which really blue the top off the freakin' place ( Read more... )

So my band put on our first show playing with other band on March 4th. There were some technical difficulties here and there but from what I heard after the show, the other bands liked our music. One guy even said that he couldn't easily classify our sound which made me really happy because I'd like to be know as "us" instead of that band who ( Read more... )

So I went to my first live show that showcased local bands and I've gotta say that I was very impressed. Most of the bands totally tore it up and there was even one band that freakin' broke into total shredness on several occasions. I had no idea that there were bands of that caliber around here. All I know is that my band is REALLY going to ( Read more... )

So the demo thing didn't work out very well and the band has put it on the backburner while we work on new songs. The songs that we have now sound pretty good but we want to further diversify our sound. We're working on about 4 new songs right now to go with the 7 songs that we already have completely done. Our goal is to eventually have 15 ( Read more... )

My band is about to start recording our demo CD this weekend. Our singer got a nifty little USB Audio Interface for Christmas and I have tons of recording software so we should be able to make some good recordings. If we get it all recorded, mixed, and rendered, then we will have many duplications made so that we can sell it at live shows for 5 ( Read more... )
