We got a gig supporting a Sydney band doing a tour, we opened for them at The Barwon Club. They are Bluejuice and have had the number 1 single on Triple J for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and that's pretty damn good. Anyway, some pics.

And the whole band plus our extras.

It's be suggested that it's based on the great game Rampage Awesome!

Man I look young. Not my worst post though. I used to reply to every post I saw so I could seem like a well known member or something I guess. I've slowed down a lot now. Which is good.

Our first payed gig got us $93, this second one gets us $100.

I'm quite happy, I earned money for the first time ever, and I enjoyed it. We got the cheque today for our recent gig, which went pretty well. And we made $23.25 each not much, but still, it's the first time I've ever made money. And we're being payed $100 for an opening spot for a band on tour called Bluejuice who are supporting their high roation single. We dont even know how the booking agent found us, but we're the only ones he asked so um. Well I'm quite proud as a matter of fact. Hopefully the band takes off and I can get rid of any chance of possibly becoming responsible for anything Anyway, I just wanted to vent happyness.

Well, the side and back views bob with movement, why not the front?

Just wanted to say thankyou for the game, it was really good, and the soundtrack as well, I'm listening to it now on iTunes. I cant wait for it to be continued.

Thanks Greg and Darcness
Also, two new tracks up so I had to take Alone down, new songs up are called Midnight Envy and One, also, check out our EP cover, our friend Adam did it. It's fingerpainting, and quite good.
Cheers

Alrighty folkys, two new tracks up at the moment. Make sure you listen to Alone because soon it'll come down so I can put up two more. Have a listen, say what you think, I wont bite this time

That is hideous.

Based on the facial features seen here:

I think it's safe to say it's Bruce Campbell's ghost.







...or the Gaurdian at the start of Ultima 7....

Heh, late last year there was a fair, just a regular one, and there was a scientology stall. My friends took the test, and one got told he would be gay later in life, but they can help cure him. I found that amusing, the idea that a simple minute long test could determine he was gay, and then the idea that he had to be cured. Provided entertainment though.

I read the satanic bible, was quite interesting. A lot of my friends read it as well, not really with the intent to pursue it with any kind of interest, but just as an interesting read. And to me that's all it was as well. Much more enjoyable than the Christian bible in my opinion. Some interesting points, but the same can be said for any religion really. I think I'll just stick with Athiesm.

Apparently the old one is pretty good, would be considered tame nowdays, but the director was a pioneer of the genre. So might as well get that. Vincent Price is in it too!

Songs 2 and 3 were done as demos on my home set up, I know they sound poor quality. Tree Song is a major step up for us, recording in my bass teachers studio, and yeah we know it's not super high studio quality, but we still reckon it's pretty good.

Yay, Thanks Sam, much appreciation. Cheers bud

Sorry about the "fuck you" thing, I did apolagise quite soon after, and I meant it. I'm quite proud that a lot of you think I could make it big, so thanks for saying so. And uh, this thread isn't really about what it was supposed to be about anymore, so I'll just step out til there are some new recordings and everyone settles.

Evil, the other songs on there, Alone and Midnight Envy, are only demos and yes the vocals on Midnight Envy suck. But as for Tree Song I was quite proud of the vocals, we've come a long way in regards to vocals as Zoot said. Since early recordings on my home stuff I've been working on improving my voice and although I recognize that I still need to keep improving I personally think Tree Song went quite well. And we haven't been rushing into the studio, we've been playing this song for over a year, we've spent all that time tightening and improving it. We wanted this first time in the studio as a taster before the holidays so we get used to working in it, and I think we did that well and achieved a good song in the process

I concede your point. Sorry I'm touchy Helm, but this is our first studio recording and I'm quite proud of it. And yes in complete honesty this song is a little derivative, we in fact had a talk to the guitarist who wrote it about the fact he seemed to be drifting more and more into sameyness. In a few weeks we record again, and they are stronger pieces I think you might see as more original. As I said, I'm sorry I called you rude, insulted your intelligence and told you to fuck off, I reacted with passion as I'm quite passionate about my music. I shall try save the dramatics from now on.
Cheers Helm,

The fact that you dismiss so much as original is quite frustrating. We do like to sound like ourselves, sure people can hear influence, see some stylistic resembelances but we're not nicking riffs or stealing lyrics, we're writing original music with original lyrics that mean something to us, using our own words. So yes, I'd say we're original. If we go by your rule of originality, nothing will ever be original but is always a variation on an old theme. That idea distresses me. Everyones experiences in life are exclusive to them and that shapes who they are, which leads to them shaping their art. So we are original. The idea of you questioning artistic integrity is quite offensive, and would be to anyone. Suggesting I should give up being original and focus on being good for my style is plainly silly and rude.
