Huzza!!!


Well, Here's an update....
We all got together and have been working on Thank you lists, credits, and lyrics. We are about 35% done with the layout of the record. Still need a few things. We have worked on the order of the tracks(still working on that). I have been listening to the songs exclusively and have some changes I want to make (minor changes) as well, there is a lot more work to be done, but we are excited. I have also been getting quotes on the production cost of the CD, things are looking promising..
On the status of the band... We are currently working with a new drummer. His name is John(Black Ops) He is an old friend from my days working at guitar center. He is very dedicated and works really hard. Hopefully we will be ready to play some shows once the record is done!! We will also be working on NEW material...NICE!!

There it is THE UPDATE!!!

don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining


GRRRRRR.....No new blogs from band members! I'm all alone here. (thanks Will for the comment but the world needs to know of any progress your making as well) I have a strong feeling that no one else from our band is even reading this blog. It's effectiveness is almost mute... I can almost guarantee that no band members are active promoting the blog either. I don't mean to bitch, but I really want to hear about what everyone else is doing( in regards to the band of course) If this blog is any indication, nobody in the band is making any progress. My vote on the poll to the right will be "ARE THEY STILL A BAND??" Prove me wrong guys...prove me wrong!

Oh, I did not make any more progress either, I will be working on the layout of the cd tonight...hopefully. Were supposed to have band practice tonight as well;However ,From what Old Dirty is telling me, that probably won't happen.. RATS!! This CD will never come out BAH!

P.S. HAHAH...Just venting, I check the blog everyday hoping I could get some insight into what the other guys are working on outside of band practice. TO NO AVAIL!!

(not so)Wicked!!

I put the "PRO" in Procrastination


Damn! I did it again. I let the "Pro" get the best of me last night. I ment to sit down and work on the Intro for one of the songs, but instead I didn't. Bah... I'm not sure if I will get to it tonight either.(double BAH) I will definatly try. I have to work on the layout for the cd as well. I think tonight I will at least do a scratch layout with on paper with crudely drawn ideas for each panel. I am figuring on at least 4 panels for the cardboard case and 8 for the booklet. I have some ideas, but I need to get them down so that they can be evaluated outside of my head. They need to be reviewed by the rest of the band as well. Also any input they may have needs to noted. I have not seen the "whole" band in weeks. I was hoping that this blog could serve as a way for us to see eachothers progress, but it seems that I may be the only one even reading and contributing to the blog (of band members of course, Im sure there are millions in the general public that read my terrible writing everyday) Where are you Mike, Will, Old Dirty and R.G.? Is anybody out-there?

I did it!! I did it!!



Last night I beat procrastination for at least one night. I got to the studio last night and actually got something accomplished..NICE!! I finished the additional backup vocals on one song and redid the main vocals for a song that I was not happy with. I also added backup harmonies to that song as well. Hurray!! So for tonight, I need to redo the intro that Kevin accidentally deleted and work on the layout of the album. And look I blogged again today! Thats Three days in a row. I have to get Will to post again on the progress the band has been making at practice. Stay tuned!

Wicked!

Shhh... I'm posting from work!


Hi,All
Small update here. I noticed that ODM did not post yesterday :(
Oh well, As you can see I'm trying very hard to make sure I stick to the min of at least one post a day. I talked with our guitarists (mike&will) They liked the idea of the blog. I think Will will be posting as well. It's a good possibility that we may be able to feature posts from everyone in the band! Super-Shweeet! They will probably post a lot a first then taper off as their initial interest wains. I will stay diligent though! Tonight we have practice,It will be the first time everyone in the band will have the chance to listen to all the work I did last week. I hope everyone likes the stuff I did.(I'm pretty sure they will). we play with Whole Wheat Bread next weekend!! If you have not heard of them, take the time to check them out!! Opps gotta get back to work!!

Wicked!
