Infrastructure

Well, me and a member of my current band decided to break off and start our own little conglomeration of music. We found someone who can sing (something we were lacking in SatN..) and plan to do some kind of Neutral Milk Hotel, Sonic Youth style stuff. I myself will mainly be on drums and various percussion instruments along with piano and the occasional bass part (I'm a one man rhythm section) , my other friend will be playing guitar and drums, and i guess whatever other abilities he shows, and our new singer can play various mallet instruments (xylophone, etc.) as well as sing beautifuly. You can check out our PureVolume page at http://www.purevolume.com/infrastructure
Kinda empty at the moment but I'll be updating it soon.

Bored...readin some QC

Totally my idle. Or maybe that's just a summary of my life..either one.

Yeah that's possibly the best webcomic ever..Questionable Content. You should read it.

Not much happenin lately. Joined this site www.lost.eu its pretty cool, check it out. You can join (and help me get more points) at

Found out about some new bands from my brother...some of em are pretty good.
The Format
Murder by Death
Explosions in the Sky
Minus the Bear

(Gave me some Bloc Party and Snow Patrol but we already know about them don't we)

I'd suggest you check out The Format's cd Dog Problems. Probably my favorite out of those four bands.

OH! almost forgot!
Well Macworld started today, the famous keynote address is tomorrow morning, sposed to be an hour longer than usual. There've been many predictions but it looks like the basic line up (this is just guesses and hunches) is the introduction of the iPhone and the iTV, some updates on Leopard, the usual intro of iLife and iWork, and a few others. Check out http://www.macworld.com/ for info, predictions, and updates during the keynote.



Til next time...

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...

96.5tic-FM All Star Christmas

This concert was pretty sick...lineup was Five for Fighting, Daughtry, KT Tunstall, Smashmouth, Goo Goo Dolls, Barenaked Ladies, and Guster. We had a fun time, the two or three rows of people that I was with ended up going down near the floor (I wish we had gone all the way up to the stage) and went pretty much crazy, there was a lot of drunk people around us, lot of spillt beer, and what smelled like pot...anyways...

Concert was good, starting bands weren't amazing and it was way too quiet in the beginning. When Smashmouth was up it was just like a wall of distortion with Steve Harwell's voice kinda drifting in and out. After that the sound was good and the bands were great. Daughtry and Guster rocked, Five for Fighting was a good chillax break from the rock then BNL went up followed by GGD and the concert ended with a bang. Over all it was a fun time, plenty of Facebook picks from my friends too, I'll put some of them up perhaps.

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.
