Many of you dont know, but i was doing a great band called In Conversation with some great friends, but it never quite got off the ground due to never finding a vocalist. This band also decided to break up about 2 weeks ago but I am moving on and with great confidence within myself.
It might not sound too hot or be something to be proud of...YET but I would not invest my time or interest in something that i did not have faith or saw potential in. Its a delicate flower right now, eager to bloom. It shall bloom! I will see to it! Everythings a little weird in the begining for any band. That will soon pass and we will be playing very well together soon enough.
I am very excited to be working with a long time friend named steve, his brother and now some new friends. The band is VERY different from the one I was just in but in a way, Ive always wanted to do a band like this. In the older days when I was obsessed with Elliotts "song in the air" release in 2003. So I see it a good thing. Something new, something different. Applying the things Ive learned in the past 2 years and seeing how they work in this band. Im a way better musician now. Though I know that Im still going to learn even more by doing this band. I will never stop learning and progressing, atleast I hope so.
There is a show booked for February. So ALREADY, this band is miles ahead from my other. 2 singers and shows! Im not sure if I will be playing this show, since we may or may not have a bass player by then but Im sure I will have learned the set and be comfortable. Even though this will be my 1st show since 2005. Ill probably be a nervous wreck haha.
So in conclusion, I have a new band. One that I'm excited about. I know I will add good things to it and the finished products will be great. I cant wait for good recordings! Im also excited to get out there and play shows. I feel lucky that I have found a project so quickly. The 2 week down time of playing to my Ipod in the basement SUCKED. I cant play drums anymore unless im writing music. Which I suppose is good.
I feel great. Im proud of myself. I jumped into something new. I had ambition and I put myself out there and got a gig. I wasnt ever at any point scared or nervous. Im that confident in myself as a musician. I can do anything!
