Listening To: Orbital - Science Friction
First rehearsal was fun, productive and odd. We're still going down the drinking = good line of things, helping us *cough*Claire*cough* get over certain confidence issues, but hey. We wrote a song which came out rather nicely, starting off with a particularly unusual jazzy guitar part from Claire, which I then transformed into something that sounded more than a little Spanish. Possibly be able to use Andy's classical guitar for that. Weshallsee. We've been totting up the songs, and the tracklist stands at a rather half-finished: Postal Service song, Yorkshire Bank, Ross song, Claire song, jazzy track, experimental track, Bob Dylan song, and one that Claire's not played yet because she forgot it. That's eight tracks, though, which is pretty good going. Now to actually get them recorded. Ha.
In other news, The Bassment is now closed, which puts a rather large knife in our plans for putting on a night there, so back to the drawing board.
Have been working on some music with my housemate, Andy, too. There's a chord sequence he's been working on for ages, and I worked a chorus round it, and we're recording that into some sort of song or other. My new bass is on it and everything.
Anyway, more updates soon no doubt.
