THE GIG

Ok...well the show is done...now before i start...i got the gig through an ad on craigslist looking for a band to play a halloween party...i have been told that i should make horror movie soundtrack, so i figured horror movie/halloween, its all good...so...i reply and send a link to the dude...he gets back to me and says cool...what would a show like that look like...so i describe the show...he says great, looking forward...Well...the day of the show we're out dropping off our gear and buddy comes up to me...i noticed that on your site you have two types of music...your gonna play some of the stuff with a beat right?...sure...home to load more sequences and grab the light show...thats when i discovered that the portable light show wont fit in the truck...so used the downsized show and i am going to rework the big one....so...we play first...no monitors but the sound was great and we could hear ourselfs well enough that we made most of our cues...played Larry, Periods, Set in Stone, A song, 3 and finished with urine...was told that we were a perfect choice for the party...then cottonmouth jones played...biker bar rock...excellent!...and finally the band of the host did some wicked pistols covers and ramones covers...for whom the bell tolls and billy idol...good times...then the fireworks...the first rocket exploded on the ground...lots of smoke, screaming people diving out of the way of roman candles shooting off into the crowd...then there was the thing with the car driving to port alberni that became a target...cudos to Rick for being so drunk and still being able to hold his guitar (and deal with the police)...word...and we were paid...in bud lite and jello shooters...IT WAS ROCK AND ROLL!...

Today and some stuff...

Well...FINISHED THE OPERA...its up but in the store only, because of size limitations I cant post it on my page...but i did put a chunck of the finished product...i left up the original unfinished piece so you can compare it to the finished work...now...youll notice that i have share, download and buy links for all of my songs...well except the opera and crystaline detox which are too large (i will get a bit of crystaline detox up)...the reason is that i believe that people that like the music and can afford to buy it will, and the ones who cant afford to buy it should still be able to listen to it...some news about live...i am working on playing a runthrough of my live show at a private halloween party on oct 27...gonna see how it comes together and work out any bugs before we take it on the road...also were working on a what i hope turns out to be an all day industrial music event...im looking for about 7 bands now and nov-dec for a date...sometime around christmas would be good then i can have it as my cd release and call it "kill yourself for christmas" (tentative name for cd is "if i was you, id kill myself" shhhh dont tell anyone)...also on the product front...the songs available on the page and for sale are of mp3 quality...when i finish art and liner notes, credits etc and start to package the quality will be wav or better...but time flies when on tour having rum and i gotta rum...soon...

New Songs

for your listening pleasure 4 new songs...my way of saying sorry for not having "Too Avant Garde for Bob" up last nite...it seems it has gone from a song to an opera...whod have thunk...anyways...theyre not up for sale yet...should be tomorrow...
