As Danny stated before we did a overnight recording session. In the morning we decided to scrap everything we had because of how poorly it sounded (and the occasional tempo problem). Our second take was much better as we mic'd the drums and guitars much better

Thanksgiving weekend

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!

Nick, Jonathon, Mike and I did a major recording session a couple nights back. We got through only half the song though in 24 hours... So I wonder how long the minor... the bridge? outtro?... The MinorBrigdeOuttro will take.

I would just like to say that I am the all time best musical genius ever..FACT. On the flip side, so far (I think) that the song we are going to present is going to go like this.
~Bass Intro Verse x1
~Drums come in x1
~RGuitar comes in x1/2
~Lead comes in w/ intro solo x2, joins in with a different cord x1
 -Drum fill bridge
~chorus, 4 chord progression with lead strumming triplets of each individual note of the chord the rhythm is playing
~ (to be determined drum fill bridge or musical bridge)
~Verse
~Bridge into Chorus again
~Chorus
~Bridge into Outro part 1
~Outro part 1, eventually dies down
~climb into Outro part 2
~Outro part 2, song fades out.

Slightly late post from the google day on the 14th

We had a mildly productive jam on Monday, one of nick's guitar's strings broke just before the Google day and we did not have any drums, but we managed. We are planning to record a video and a recording of us playing one of our songs on Tuesday. We were originally going to do this last Thursday but it just didn't work out for us.

10/28 google day

We had a productive jam session on monday, and we think we may end up using the second song we wrote instead of the first one because it has more of the "indie rock" sound we were looking to create.

Also this!

I forgot to mention this: we enlisted the help of Mr. Duden of our history department to help us record our songs. Walsh is vehemently opposed to this idea as we have mediocre recording equipment as well. But our lack of a mixer may be a bit of a problem...

What we did on Monday. We pretty much started to develop a more definitive structure in our music and finally have on song down... except for maybe vocals. Mr. Matthys pointed at me to sing, but I think our group decided that if a the world came to an end that I would still not sing.

Band Sleepover

I was too busy so I didn't go... But Walsh officially joined our little band!

Flannel Brothers

Okay so. Apparently, since everyone in our band (but me, I wear plaid) has flannel shirts. So I guess you can call us the flannel bros. Also if you hadn't noticed. Our funk isn't say... talented, so we switched to a more indie-rock that fits more our style.

Mike scraps our ideas

Google day. Guess what. Michael comes in a derails our entire plans. In fact, everything we did Sunday was thrown out. But hey, I guess this is what musics all about: to get the best results. Something has to go.

Sunday Jam

A few Sundays ago. Nick, Johnny and I got together and tried to improv some new things. We only got so far before we scrapped most of what we did in our session. But, we did come up with some cool saxophone solo parts and a reggae chord progression.

Sorry about the lack of posts

Oh man. I'm really sorry for not posting in forever. So, I'm going to try to make all the missed blogs in the course of these few days before the end of the week.
