Right so the album launch is a week today, to say im slightly stressed would be a huge understatement! over the past week we have been practising loads and just getting everything ready for the big night. Today me and chris went around town and started putting up posters and we have also bin in contact with a lot of newspapers, magazines, radio stations and even TV stations! I feel I have gained some valuable contacts from this that may help me a lot in my session career.

I have also been practising a lot with the degree band i am in and i feel this is helping my reading of notation a lot. Reading notation is a must when it comes to being a session musician so i feel is experience will be very helpful to me.

Rhythm Wave rehearsals are starting to heat up not as Glastonbury is looming but at least it is preparing me for working under presser.

In Session skill we learnt some more about production and what actually goes into making a hit record.

well thats it for me... will hopefully speak soon, busy couple of weeks coming up with album release next week and tour the week after.... but its all good practise... and a hell of a lot of fun!!!!! :)

Hi guys

Well thats me back in perth after my holidays back up in Shetland, wasn't too bad I suppose haha!!!

Right well all the news iv really got is Eat Dr. Ape news, so sorry no change there. Our album launch is now just 3 weeks away, and it is safe to say that we are now getting rather stressed out to say the least. We have made quite a bit of progress though, on thursday I finished off our PLL registration so I now have a full registered personal account with PLL which is going to work in my favour when trying to get session work as it shows that I have taken the time to make sure payments are done with the correct method. Also I submitted our album to 40 different online download sites including iTunes and Amazon, this will make sure that our music is easily accessible. Our photo shoot also went surprisingly well and our album artwork is being worked on now as we speak.

so its all very exciting times :)

speak soon
