Did I spell that right?
I just got home from the dance that made our halloween show an impossibility. Adrian, Christine and I drove home from the dance together, totally bummed that we couldn't play today. The halloween atmosphere is the perfect venue for some deadly hardpopmetalrock music.
That being said, we've been writing like crazy, and I think (hope?) that everyone will really like what we've been coming up with. We all like it a lot. Some of it is not what any of us would expect; we've been playing with some jazz and swing music. Should be great though.
Christine is correct, Prechorus Jones is driving me mad. I'm sure you'll see why soon (hopefully mid November, we may or may not have a gig with The Rocket House).
Well, I've got to be up in five hours, so I'm gonna hit the sack. We've got a jam sesh tomorrow, polish up some songs so we suck a little bit less for the next gig.
Goodnight!
Blake
These are the adventures of some cool people, having some cool times, playing some cool music... Enjoy... "Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music"~~~

Any ideas?
Also, Danny Roy is a wizard.
Let me explain.
He expressed to us that the font we had on our blog was amateur and went ahead creating some different font ideas for the band and posted them on his Facebook page. Check them out and give us some feed back! We'd love to hear any other ideas you guys might have for the band as well! Post it on our blog, our FB page, or even our FB group.
Thanks!

Weekend Wonders
Guess who had a birthday?!! Paige!! She is so old now! She jumped decades. No longer in her teens... in her 20's!! Whoa... We had a jam on the day of her birth (Saturday). Morning practices can be tough, but since we were celebrating the success of Paige not dying for 20 years, we brought fruit, cinnamon buns, and ice cream cake which made things bareable. We planned a jam session at the stake centre so we could do a full set practice, but disaster struck when Burns got called into work. So, instead we decided to jam at Paiges house and just do an acoustic practice and put some lyrics to a song we've been working on.
Which brings us to Prechorus Jones. He's this CRAZY guy that we've been writing a song about. Turns out, he's also driving US crazy. We worked on this song for the majority of the day, having fits of laughter, brain farts, talking about non-sence, and coming to no conclusion. Prechorus will slowly drive us all mad. I'm sure of it.
Blake is still regurgitaing a ton of music. As posted earlier, he's not sleeping. Just laying down tracks on garage band. He'll then bring the music to practices and Burns, Adrian, and Paige will come up with some sick lyrics and melody. This process seems to be working really well, and they should be ready to record some demos so we can send them out to some venues and get playing more shows!
Continue to stay tuned for more, WITHOUT THE FALL.
That's all for now folks!

The Wee Hours
Good morning!
It's 3:51 AM. I've been trying to sleep for the last few hours - make that days - to no avail. Don't get me wrong - I have been sleeping, but not during the hours I'd like to be. I'm trying to hit the sack by midnight every night, which has been a huge failure, as you can see. I've been putting full-time hours into the band - mostly writing - and it's paying off. We're creating some deadly songs that we're all really proud of. It's amazing what we can do with some talent (Paige) and caffeine.
I tried to go to bed earlier today, but these songs are racing through my noggin like dogs chasing a rabbit on a rail. I really hope you like them when we finally get to debut.
In other news, I wrote a super awesome post last night (early this morning?), and it didn't save and didn't post. I'm not going to write it again. No way. You'll just have to take my word for it. Tell all your friends about the hilarious, really cool post I wrote that was deleted so no one will ever read it.

Keepin' it real...
Well, its that time of year. Halloween. The holiday where the boundary between the living and the dead dissolves, and the dead become dangerous for the living. Candy becomes a staple food in our diets, and the opportunity to play dress up is not only socially acceptable, but expected. Ya. We're stoked.
Unfortunately we had to cancel our Halloween show at New Black. The YSA dance happens to be that same night and people had expressed their desires to attend. Fear not. We'll deliver next year.
The band has been writing like crazy! We've got some sick riffs on guitar and the group has been able to put amazing melodies and lyrics to the music. It's amazing what we are able to accomplish in what seems like no time at all. We are hoping to have either an EP or a full album come out before the end of the year. With things going the way they are, this seems like a very realistic goal.
Anyway...This is just a quick update to let everyone know what we're up to! Keep checking in with us and we'll keep you posted on whats going on with the band and other fun local events we hear about!
