I'm Fucking Bad at Blogs

Which is obvious by my constant lack of updates. Maybe winter will bring more news worth reporting. Although since I've waited so long, I have a decent amount of shit to babble about.

1) Strega - Actually, very little to say hear. Not ever sure what's going on. No planned shows, practices cancelled or missing members constantly, lots of stress for little rewards, except that I do actually like the riffs a lot. We'll see how it goes on.

2) Dark Depths - I stopped playing drums because I hate playing drums. Or at least, I wasn't enjoying playing drums in this band. So now I'm playing guitar, and it sounds way more awesome. We got Tyler (formerly of Bully and currently in some other projects I'll hype the shit out of later) playing drums with us now, and he shreds.

3) Aurora Bridge - We've finally started practicing again and things have been getting better and better. It's hard to get really, really long songs done to the point where we our happy with how they sound and how we can play them. Thinking about starting to work on riffs to a second song though. If we ever play more than one song live, you can guarantee we'll be playing for an hour.

4) Elk Ohm - Haven't mentioned this project on here yet because I'm that fucking inept at updating this thing, but I'm really stoked on it. Elk Ohm is Nick, who plays drums in Aurora Bridge as well, this younger dude Evan, who is an effing bass prodigy, and myself playing grungey, sludgey, rockin metal tunes. Essentially the antithesis to the other bands I'm in, but still manages to sound like a band I'm in.

5) Life - Like... my life... not a band named Life... but that'd be cool. Moving into Fbk soon, at least I think, which should be awesome. Sludge shows at Fbk? Maaaybe. I also bought a sweet jacket today, and to subsidize the price of buying new clothing (for the first time in years, at least for non-band attire, feels weird) I had to steal a sweet hat too. So I'm essentially G'd up from the... actually waist up, I need new shoes... and pants...

Well, time to get more stoned.

The Unloved

Finally ready to release a little electronic drone. Ethan wants me to call it Doomtronic, like his band Smaawg, but I don't want to be a poser since it doesn't really sound like that. But it might be. Who knows. Give it a listen, tell me what you think, and have a nice nap.

Today I got paid in nugs to drive 10 blocks from where I was already driving. Pretty good day.
No stress, so seeds, no stems, no sticks

Electric Drone

Been playing around in fruity loops a lot today, making really drone-y electronic songs. Mostly inspired by my brother and colleague's band Smaawg, which you can find some albums of at http://golemscave.blogspot.com. Highly recommended. Besides that, Strega had another practice today that went awesome, and Dark Depths practiced earlier in the week and it went...well, okay, but we were all hesh-bots programmed only to make the weirdest mistakes possible. I hate fucking up shit that I never fuck up, so defeating. I'ma go make a blogroll.
Bluntmind,

Strega's practicing for the first time in months today. Less one guitarist, plus one bassist. I just want to be done playing the first song at shows. Kinda hate it, but that's my own doing. Anyway, stoked that the band is together at all really, it's been an uphill battle to keep people together, which is kinda funny considering how easy it has been for us to get shows. People are even into it, which is pretty bad ass. Slower, dronier, crushinger riffs on the way.

Third Dark Depths show, should be a good one. Been awhile since our first couple shows so we'll be sure to return with a vengeance.

Dark Depths recording has begun

   Today the band I play drums in, Dark Depths, finally got around to recording some tracks with more than one microphone. They sound killer, many thanks to Ezra for helping us out. Got a couple songs left to record, and then a tape to put out. Once we've got the bandcamp shit up and running I'll post a link. We're also playing as many shows as we can get our hands on, help us with that?
