It's been a little while since I last posted, mainly due to there being not much going on. Rehearsals, chilling, going out, meeting new people, seeing some shows were pretty much what we have been up to over the last while.
We have, however, taken up an addictive collective habit in heroin use. haha, just kidding. Our actual habit though, is playing a card game called Shithead (sorry for the swearing kids, but that's what it's called!). It has become quite an intense contest and we have started a tournament, with our scores being added up each day to go towards an end-of-trip total. Needless to say, it has become the focal point of our lives for the time being.
We had a show last night. It was at a place called the Bowery, with a capacity of around 150, but when I arrived at the venue I was surprised that you could squeeze that many people into such a small room! The show went well; Matt was solid as a rock, and we played a new tune which was very well received, so that was a relief!
The rest of our week shall consist of rehearsals and a recording day on friday. I'm looking forward to friday, because we will get to lay down our near finished ideas.
On another note, I've had a little bit of time over the last week to work on some of my own musical ideas which has been good. Stay tuned, as I shall be announcing another of my 'Cinematic' Concerts soon!

That's all from me though, for now at least. Peace.

Week Two
Hello,
The last few days consisted of sight seeing, drinking beer (because that's what you do when you're in London), and you guessed it, more rehearsals.
This is the Shard; the tallest building in London. They are feverishly trying to finish it for the olympics so the marathon runners can run up and down it or something.
Tower bridge. Pretty massive and actually an incredible piece of architecture for when it was built.
This is where we had dinner tonight. A friend of ours is a member in this kinda 'Club' thing, and it's pretty dang trendy if you ask me!
So far in the rehearsal studio we have pretty much finished 2 songs, and have many more ideas that are constantly circling around our brains, taunting us and keeping us from sleeping at night. Not really, but there are HEAPS of really good ideas constantly coming up. The aim now is to get a few more songs 'finished' and then hit the studio to record some demos of them. I think I said it before, but i'm pretty darn excited about the sorts of things we are writing here. It's just really cool to be working with awesome dudes who are as excited as me about making music!
Anyway, that's all I have to say. Bye!
