well happy new year and all that jazz
well since my last post iv bin pretty busy....played drums in the xmas panto which was great coz it gave me a good insight into what a proper session is like. Also Eat Dr. Ape played a few more gigs on the run up 2 xmas which was smashing to ( i do love to gig ).
An now its 2010... wooh!!!!!
So far this year has started off with a bang! since i got bak for lovely sunny Egypt things have bin crazy. to start with i had my Beatles presentation which i think went well apart from my small technical hick-up in the middle.
Then had Eat Dr. Ape gig in Glasgow at Macsorleys which was a good way to get back into gigging after xmas... there was a good turn out and got payed in beer :) We also played a gig in dundee at hustlers a couple of weeks ago, and i must admit its bin one of my favourite gigs so far, there were plenty of people there and the sound was AMAZING!!!!!
We've booked into Lofi Studios again, this time for a week in February to record our 7 track album titled "Love and Lust in Wonderland", i can't wait to get back in the studio... its such a good feeling to hear the songs you've worked so hard on come together and its a great experience that will help prepare me for studio session work i may get in the future. We also have a gig in Aberdeen this wednesday coming at Cafe Drummonds which should be good because its a larger venue and it gives us a sense of moving forward as a band.
This friday i had one of the greatest industry experiences of my life..... i got a job roadying for The Prodigy at the Caird Hall in Dundee. It was a totally amazing experience and i learnt so much about the sheer about of organisation that goes into putting on a huge gig like that. I did every thing from unloading there 3 artic trucks to setting up there lighting rigs and dressing rooms........ also watching the gig from stage side was pretty cool too :P
Got a new band at college ...... we're doin glam rock which is great fun coz its really testing my drumming skills and i can feel myself becoming a better player because of it.
well thats it for just now.... I WILL be back next week!
Byee
