So it's been four months. A lot has changed.
A new drummer has joined our group. An old friend to Me and Dillon, Ryan Masecar is on board and man have things changed. A great drummer, he also has a great ear for music and there are four people contributing to the band and creating a new sound. That first week in October that we played together really tough though. Hearing him on drums made me realize all the work I had to do on my instruments and I think the other guys felt some pressure. We play a show a couple weeks later and everything goes pretty well. I had just gotten a new cab and new strat so I was feeling like a real MF walking in. Dillon just got a Vox too and he was using his 2x12 cab with it and we were nice and loud. Shit goes well and we have another show in November and its pretty good one. My gear craps out on me but I fix in the middle of the song. The guys hold it together so everything is fine but it still sucks.
Once school got out for me and Kenny, we starting recording practicing more and recording. Four songs engineered and mixed by Ryan and they sound great (I guess a audio degree will do that).
Last night we had our last show of the year and it was the best one by far. Our songs were tight, our sound was brutal, and we put on a great show.The only hiccup was that was no drum rug. Anyone who has ever dealt with this situation knows how much a pain it can be and it really was. It was something no one thought about and luckily one of the other bands had a piece of carpet that we used but it wasn't enough. The best part of the night was that we sold almost all of out CDs! Granted they were hand made and we were only asking for donations, or even just to take em...but regardless, we got rid of 15 EPs and made 11 bucks. OK so we went hungry, but none the less, we met a lot of great people, got some free shit from the other bands, and got offered another show with the same production company. A successful night indeed.
So we have another show on the 3rd and hopefully we get on the bill for that other one on the 16th. Plans to record another 4 songs are in the works and we are getting out social networking together. Well its not 5 yet but fuck it, its new years eve. Hurrray Beer!
