Chippy missed rehearsal last night as he was sea kayaking in Wales.........He checked in last night and he hasn’t drifted off into the Atlantic. He didn’t sink either.......even though he felt that the omens were bad when he discovered that his boat was called “The Titan Nick” It could have been worse he could have built the boat himself?!?!?!?
Easter Monday .....another rehearsal day we dragged the drums down into the church hall and rigged up the PA system Wifey connected up the mixer......and made a cake (not really!)
We went through our paces on the full repertoire, which went . We played 3 new songs “Hand in my pocket” by Alanis Morrisette, which went really well, and SJ sang really well too. I think it will be one of our favourites. Wifey had her concerns regarding “Linger” I have studied a video taken on my mobile phone which isn’t of brilliant sound quality but run through the computer you can hear that it actually doesn’t sound too bad. I need to be tighter , SJ will get more confident with her singing on this one and if Dominic manages the fills he was doing this song will sound great especially when “Action Jackson “ (Chippy) returns on the rhythm guitar. “Whistle for the choir “ by the Fratellis went so well we didn’t bother doing it more than once...Wifey and SJ proceeded to do a flippy floppy kind of dance from foot to foot throughout this song which was I must say skips long and is enjoyable to play.
Now let’s talk logos......Mini Machero wanted some band t-shirts and the triangular log was designed by SJ very briefly. I decided I would change it into a comet. this has received mixed reviews.
I personally liked SJ s but it needed tidying up, kind of prefer mine but not that fussed I will go with the flow. Wifey prefers SJs, Mother dearest said that the new one looks like a dong!!!!!! ( as usual takes the conversation way down there)and prefers SJ’s. Dominic has got splinters on his behind from sitting on the fence! Dark Magi who is an acclaimed 3D artist has commented that he likes the new one...(maybe he could design a logo?!?!?!?!?!?!) As it stands SJ is going to re do hers and then we will take a vote.......anyone else that would like to try and design a logo for the band please do, we are open to suggestions.
Dominic has re opened the debate on “Eddy the camper van“ song......between songs at rehearsals Wifey strummed the opening bars to Eddy...I quickly fell into the bass line and Dom got a drum beat going and it sounded great.....Dominic now wants to do the song as it rocked....SJ huffed and puffed and refused to have anything to do with it!...we will wear her down.
Anyway...chores to do and the champions league is on ........safe!!!!!**
