Rock Update

Jason is away on vacation for a little while, but the rest of us got together last night and had practice. It is a lot harder to play the songs without Jason singing, but it is also really good to get to focus totally on the music. You just listen to it and write new parts in a whole different way when you are focusing entirely on what the other guys are playing.

We worked the hardest on a song you might know called "Simpler than it Seems." It's an acoustic song, but it's not a boring one. We worked a lot on the dynamics, starting off soft, building a little bit, going back to soft, building a little bit more, then breaking into the climax. It is coming together really nicely! Shane and Drew are both sounding excelent. We are also using the "beast from hell," as Shand affectionately calls his metronome, to find the ideal tempos for our songs.

Something to keep in the back of you mind: We are talking with Jealousy Curve and will be playing a show with them soon. It is going to be at a bar called Jocelyn's in Philadelphia. We'll let you know when we get a fixed date.
