Back From the Depths

Ok, so it's been a while since my last post. Went through quite a rollercoaster ride... This is kinda stupid, 'cause I ain't gonna post anything about it. Now way. Just so that you know that a large chunk of what I am will always be missing from here.

Anyway, I'm back and that's all that matters. I'm going to start recording again pretty soon, got new things to do with the band as well, we're doing a Rockhal gig in May. We'll also be recording a demo of three or four songs and try to get some air time on local radio to promote ourselves. On the downside, it seems our singer, Kewin will leave in July (the country boy's moving up to Brussels, where he plans to start a new career in music). Diane may also be off to Germany next semester, so we'll definitely need to find new voices... Or start singing ourselves... Naaaaa :).

Did I already mention our first gig? Man, that was the weirdest shit I've ever done! We backed a Catholic children's choir during the first 30 minutes, then played some of our songs to an audience mostly made up of the kid's parents and the local pensioners' club. Personally, I was scared shitless about what the reaction of that crowd would be. Plus the sound was awful, and I had so many lights in my face, I couldn't even make out the first row. But they actually liked it and started clapping along to the songs and shit... Either we're doing something right or just very, very wrong ;).

Anyway, if people keep coming and going at that rate, we'll need to play more regularly to avoid having a new lineup for every other gig.
