No bugger has replied to my mass my space commenting and emailing Re my gig next Thursday as of yet- great!
We recorded out debut EP today, it was bloody tiring but I'm reasonably happy with my performance and that of everyone else- time will tell. -

Well, that's me finished with the vine. -
Bands
I've asked Richie K and Adam if their new band fancy supporting my band in Tamworth on Sunday night. Life is too short to hold grudges and I'd like to see Adam playing again (maybe even have a jam with him) and if it goes someway to repairing my rift with RK then all the better. Doubt they'll say yes but worth a try. -

Much better gig with the band tonight, I was really pleased with my bass playing and got some nice compliments off a few peopel, go me! Apparently I'm like the bassist out of the block heads! Also we actually got paid (not very much though). Thanks very much to James, David and Jennifer for making the trip to come and see us! Nice one. -

I'm beginning to wonder if its all worth it, I never really see my friends much any more, have no time for a social life and all this band is doing is costing my time, money and adding stress I could do without. -

exhaustion
2 jobs, 2 bands (one of which practices in Birmingham twice a week) and planning work to do for school and it's no surprise I'm absolutely knackered at the moment. I am not going to be working Tuesdays again whilst things are this hectic- I will take the time for myself and do my planning, etc. -

I have quit Synthetic. The band may carry on without me as Ad has indicated he would like to carry on- I doubt they will do much in the way of gigs though- probably a few jam nights at a push, if that. I'm not too bothered anyway, as I couldn't justify any more time on something that had stopped being fun because of the drummer's attitude problems ( Read more... ) -
Feeling Better
I'm feeling quite positive at the moment, tonight's band practice with Synthetic went really well- the book I bought about singing by Carrie and David Grant off fame academy is really good and in less than a week I have improved vastly. A lot of that is down to not trying to sing notes I don't have and proper breathing technique (as well as posture ( Read more... ) -
RIP Sam
This journal is becoming rather depressing, today I am writing because one of the Scouts I used to know, Sam Wood, died approximately a month ago after a car crash. He was only around 24/25 and I know both his younger brother and mother quite well, a terrible shame.
