I found this iPhone spoof on core77.com via notcot.org. Pretty funny, a phone scotch taped to an iPod, recently sold on eBay.
Well I was talking to a friend of mine, a member of both of my bands, and he was thinking about ending Suave and the Normies. The past few rehearsals have been total busts. We do have some talent in the group but we just don't fit together well. We all have different styles, funky, jazzy, metal shreddy, and we just won't listen each other, not to mention the sibling rivalry between our bassist and guitarist. While we haven't had any shows it is kind of a dissapointment but it was never going anywhere. As for Infrastructure we'll be trying to record some stuff once we get some time in the next few weeks, might try a cover of One by U2, gotta get me some bongos.

Holiday
Four days til christmas! Always a good thought. Will be gettin my bass, can't wait, it is such a fun instrument. My band, Suave and the Normies has been working on some tunes, namely one Raconteurs-esque one. We don't have any lyrics or titles yet but they're some nice jams that we could work on. We don't have our own Purevolume quite yet but here's one of the guitarists in SatN, my friend Mike:

Otherwise...just waiting til Friday when I'm finally free. Don't see many concerts soon that I can go to. There's the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at either the Civic Center or Madison Square Gardens sometime next week and my friends plan to go to an O.A.R.concert which is probably in New York. Dunno if I'll see either of em.
Til next time...

Suave and the Normies
Well my band, SatN(Suave and the Normies), got together finally this weekend. We played some nice tunes...RHCP stuff...i busted out the brushes for some Chasing Cars and How to Save a Life (for those of you who don't know I'm a drummer). We also worked on a jam we've been piecing together. I hope it turns into something good...with a little more structure it could be an excellent song. It starts out slow and it kinda fades off into a pause...I click off and go into some sweet rhythms alongside the bass and the guitars slowly add in. Its hard to think of the basic melody...kinda shifts around a bit...I just try to follow along. I don't have a double bass but I was trying some quick, repetitive hits which was SICK but painful as hell on the ankles and legs. Anyways, we sounded pretty good in general...need to put together some actual tunes though.
I also finally ordered my bass...they were out of metallic red so I was stuck with the blue but it still looks pretty nice...I've already gotten the amp but the guitar should come by Christmas.
Pumped for the concert at the Civic Center on Tuesday...should be pretty sick, Goo Goo Dolls and some other good stuff is playing. Not all my favorites but still, worth going.
