We're playing our first show at a local teen cafe place thing (?) this saturday at 10pm, right after the first studio day. Im pretty damn nervous since this will literally be the first time Ive ever been on stage in front of people, but i think after i start singing ill be fine. The rest of the guys have played out before so they're good to go lmao
I thought I commented in this thread but seriously nice work, love the music! As for playing live, you'll shake it off. I remember when me and my old band did our first show...I was so freaking nervous, but once everyone starts getting into it and your band starts jamming the first song you can't help to get into it yourself. Have fun, and have water! can't stress the water thing haha. I was about to scream a breakdown at that show and was so scared that my voice was going to crack cause my throat and mouth was so dry. Just a tiny tip
We fucking nailed it. Everyone in the crowd loved us. They even sang along to all the songs that werent new. And they sang along to Numb while i was doing the acoustic version. It was awesome. Studio stuff is going amazingly. The album is gonna be fuckin crazy
One word I could use to summarize the album; diverse. Every song sounds totally different from each other. It'll be a while til its out though; only got 5 songs tracked these 2 days, 2 of which have vocals recorded. It'll be worth it though. Get hyped!
Here is a video grutt's (rhythm guitar player/screamer) dad took. The audio quality is shit obviously cause its a phone video. And our PA was pretty bad we need a new one lol. The video is good though cause you can see us all playing and shit lol. (My one finger is in my ear cause i couldnt fucking hear myself without it (shitty pa and monitors >->) just so you know)
Wow! The crowd seemed that they fucking enjoyed it! Keep like this guys, you are going to get very far. I'm looking forward to hear new music from you guys.
Photo album from the show if you'd like to check it out! Some of my favorites from the evening: Sound check, during the acoustic cover of "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars, me, Grutt, Jon, and the side of Mark's head, the whole band: Karl Lewis (top left): lead vocalist (yours truly ) Ryan "Grutt" Gruttadauria (top right): rhythm guitar + backing vocals (aka he screams cause i cant) Eric Curtis (bottom left): bass guitar (best bassist ive ever met. period.) Jon Kamor (bottom middle): drums and backing vocals (harmonies usually) Mark Naples (bottom right): lead guitar (he is absolutely fucking INCREDIBLE) and the band and (most of) the crowd. >idk wtf that thumbnail is or why its there but it was right after we finished The Kill
Another short video from the concert. Its actually high quality and you can hear us. Its during "I Will Move On" [video]https://www.instagram.com/p/BAEKb2RtQO4/?taken-by=joeybagadonitz[/video]
We're getting radio time for the third time this sunday at 9:00pm (Feb 21st). However, after the show, the station is having a poll where people can vote for the artist and song of the night: whoever has the most votes gets featured on the station's PRIME TIME which is the following friday at 8:00pm. A TON of people listen to the station at that time, so if we were in that rotation it would make a HUUUUGE impact. Please, if you guys have the time, you can vote for us here starting Feb 21st at 10:00pm til Feb 25th. Winning this would mean alot to me and the rest of the band! Keep being awesome guys we love all the support you've shown for us so far!
Just saw the pictures from the show - and, as weird as it feels to write this, lol... Why not skinny jeans? KANYE MADE IT SO YOU CAN WEAR SKINNY JEANS. Also, an LP shirt? Kinda blatantly giving away the influences. It's a cool shirt though. Also, will vote. Just post again so I get reminded.
I actually do have skinny jeans lmao. Probably gonna wear them at our next show in March with 3 other local bands (one of which is the 2nd biggest local band and the headliner of the show). The shirt is the limited edition Living Things era Hard Rock cafe shirt. Its got prints of their sigs on the back which is noice. The hoodie is also a THP hoodie lmao And thanks for offering to vote; I'll definitely post a reminder tomorrow night about it.
