My Original band, formed 8 weeks ago has spent that time writing songs. 12 song ideas culled to 5 for development then culled again to 3 to be recorded. Recording starts tomorrow. Classic rock style, Led Zep/Deep Purple/old style ZZ Top/Allmans etc.
We have a warm up gig with 4 original songs at a small pup on the 18th Feb then we will do the same 4 songs as the middle set of a bigger show by the Crocs on the 26th Feb. This last show will be recorded as well.
Really happy with the Drumming, keys and guitars. I had 2 weeks where I almost didnt pick up my bass which has impacted very badly so I'm not happy with the development of the bass lines or my capacity to play particularly well this weekend
Originally I planned out a 12 week time frame to get it done based on one 3.5 hour full band practice per week. Producer/Engineer that I want is working at the Port Fairy Folk festival and a few other big jobs he couldn't afford to drop during the next 4 weeks so needless to say that development of the songs is at a point where the arrangements have only just been completed but we haven't had time to polish anything.
Another 4 weeks would have been perfect.
I will post copies when the recordings have been mixed.
