Outstanding

Trivia: Did you know a member of Semi-Precious was named Most Outstanding Student of her school class? If you guessed "David," then you are almost right. In fact, it is Alex. Congratulations to her! As you'll see at any one of our upcoming shows, she is also the Most Outstanding member of Semi-Precious.

About Panama Red...

This coming Saturday we'll play a long show at Panama Red Coffee in Concord. We'll do two sets, each about 40 minutes, starting at 6:00 pm. Between our sets, singer / songwriter Ria will perform a 15-ish minute set. Like me, Ria inhabits both metal and non metal worlds.

We'll do a wide ranging set, with several originals, and covers spanning four decades! We hope you'll come and have the experience with us.

Revelation

Last night Alex and I played Angel of Darkness for the first time since we finished recording it. It was surreal, being so familiar now with the recorded version, to hear it coming out of us in real time. We both had these strange smiles on our faces while playing and singing.

We also recorded our first stabs at vocals on a new song called Revelation. We hope to have it in the set for the Panama Red show next week. I have come to the realization that the key is actually too high for both of us, but unless we tune down, we are trapped, because the structure of the song relies on unique open chord configurations.
