Music coming soon!!

-dan in-

Thought I'd give you a quickie. We practiced thrusday, it seems so long ago. Well the first part of practice sucked. So we got a couple drinks and bill prepared his computer for recording the second half of practice. Then we went to our favorite place for entertainment...colonie lounge...it was a good time.

So when we god back we were in good spirits, and drunk. I started up the computer and we recorded. Now it doesn't sound like a cd, nothing is mixed, it's basically like we put out a tape recorder and recorded. Only it's digital so I can manipulate it a little bit. I might boost the highs and lows and take the mids out a little. I dunno we'll see. I normalized it that night, and it sounded alright for what we did.

You'll probably have to wait for us to put a real demo together, but hopefully we will be gig'ing out soon so you can check us out in full stage effect.

Bald is Beautiful!!!

What can I say?

Jay is a great singer and guitarist.

Dan is a fantastic bass player with great ideas.

Nick is an amazing drummer.

Then there's me, the eye candy.

billy out

just wanted to add that bill is not only wasted in this picture, but that he would never drink right out of a scotch bottle. Gotta be on the rocks.

Bill & Dan are Drunk

Spell check is awesome, anyways, bill wanted me to use the ambersign...or something...it's this symbol &. Anyways...we're are drunk. Saw the yankee's get killed and we were out and decided to hear some new tunes. Well bill's new riff is something out of the ordinary. I like it a lot. I can't wait to make it a full song. I mean it's like watching a child grow, you get to see it at it's first stage and then it becomes an adult, a fully functioning song. In fact we are working on stuff as we write in this journal. Which is the best in artistic drunkness, to multitask. I write while bill "writes". Hopefully you will get to see some semi-finished product soon. I heard Broadway Joe's is asking for bands, we might do it up. So hopefully you will get to see us soon.

Dude, I'm so glad I didn't go to the strip club. Dan and I totally had a blast writing. I've been nursing this riff for like 3 months until it sounded good. Then Dan listened to it and gave me some input. It's great to have a fresh pair of ears to put something into perspective. It also helps to have someone else write with you so it doesn't sound the same as everything else you write. As I type this, Dan is jamming out a great riff but he probably doesn't like it because it's too somber. I like it because it strikes feeling in me. I can't wait to play out. It's lookin like broadway joe's is the place to start it out at. Right down the street. Hopefully Jay is into the idea.

ps. expect a picture of billy really soon

later elmwood

I'm working til 9pm on Thursday, but hopefully I can take off a little early. Jay and I didn't write anything, I was braindead. Hopefully, we'll have some music to upload too.

Then off to relieve ourselves of some dollar bills.

The basement needs work and I just dropped a bunch of change on the downstairs bathroom.

Music, Strippers and Beer an a Sat.

I can honestly say that Saturday was one of the best practices that we have had yet. Dan was a little roughed up because I got him sick (not covering my mouth when I cough...Nasty) so he was'nt really enjoying himself! But he livened up pretty quick when we got to the strip club!! It was there that we discussed our music. Everything from video ideas to good covers were touched on. On top of that we met some beautiful new friends (Those tatoos are so fine!!) and enjoyed a few drinks! I think it might have to become tradition. Hopefully Tuesday we can get together and keep working on the new tunes. They are coming together so fast as usual! I Look forward to playing them for an audience, a tough thing for me to imagine but I think that we are ready to start getting listener feedback. WE'll keep you posted on show dates , and Nick if you read this get a hold of me and let me know about Tuesday.

Later E-Peeps

Yeah I was hella sick, plus not sleeping and that shot on jagermeister didn't help me. I swear those strippers have magical powers because I did feel better, but I think it had more to do with the Bass ale and the girls dancing to pantera, suicidal tendencies, and slipknot.

Fun Times @ 72

Another fun and exciting practice took place Saturday night!
We went over the setlist again and worked on 2 new songs that are coming out amazing...
So we will have 10 songs to play out live for people when we get a show booked.
Dan, Jay, and I went out for a few beverages after practice and saw some lovely ladies swing around on some pole.
We are definately making immaculate progress with every practice and I can't wait to see how things will be in the future.
