2006-03-30 She Bangs The Drums!

Kyle got given the go ahead to get some drums, half of which will be paid for! Nice one!

Our session, a week ago Wednesday, went well, and we banged out the songs. What we need is a target now, and a bass player. I sent out a few ads today, and an email to a bassist to see what he is up to. I tried to contact 2 bass players, but I caught both in an unfortnate predicatment - one of which picked up the phone, and just listened until he heard me say something, then hung up - hmmm, strange...

Steve was still coming up with some great guitar riffs, and if he keeps that up, the songs will sound wicked!

Teigan had a go at a few of the songs, and also sang them through, so that would be great to have some backing vocals, and a pianist.

• Street Spirit
• Closedown
• Weapon Of Choice
• Am I Close
• Burn
• Advice
• Don't Lose Your Nerve
• Warm

Problem songs are still Burn, and Closedown, but they are close to being nailed.

We do need to learn the songs off by heart, and I will keep pushing for that to happen - perhaps next week by removing the song sheets - that will test all of us! Especially after a break when I wasn't very well.

We're getting there though, and the enthusiasm is still there.
Keeping up the momentum, in any band, will be a challenge. New songs, learn songs by heart, and get into a studio.
