report upon our current activities
today me and tommi recorded the drums for one of our new songs, it's called mediocrity, and it's about whatever. i did the synth and vocal for it last friday, as well as the bass and vocal for the other new song - get bored. so the recording of the drums went pretty well, i still ended up being about a half an hour late for work here at the damn jazz club, but after a rushed set-up for the fucking big band, all was ok. tommi's drumming sounds hot, it's some fucked up dance beats all mangled. hopefully my mic placement wasn't too rushed and rudimentary. i need some better fucking microphones at this point anyways. anyway, all that's left is to add daniel's guitar shronk and probably some more synth pizazz, and then the great struggle of mixing shall begin.
as for shows, me and tommi and tony went and saw my friend charlie's cover band iY play at this dive bar in alameda last friday night, and it turns out they do free show there all the time, so we got ourselves on the calendar for:
Friday AUGUST 25th - John Patrick's Pub
it's gonna be awesome, i'm basically putting the show together, gonna get two or so bands to play with us. the way it works is the bands get a 1/3 cut of whatever the bar sells, which is cool with me, cuz we ain't big time, so whatever, it's all about turnout turnout turnout, so yeah. at this point i've asked jaye of poperratic if she wants to come up from LA and got a maybe, and i asked this acquintance i know sylvia if her death metal band called six billion dead wanna play and got a maybe there too. also sent invites out to dyspecific, and this band called lemonade who tommi and i randomly saw play at amnesia one night back in may who are this totally amazing dub noise percussion group.
the ishta music people said they might have us back in august for another night at the element lounge also, so hey that'd be pretty cool. in the meantime we gotta get more songs together, stuff we've recorded, stuff daniel needs to learn, and i need to like write two new songs or something also.
