So our drummer won’t be able to practice for the next two weeks, which means the band doesn’t practice….Which really blows. I need to do something to take my frustrations out, these days.
Our drummer is in another band. They play “Brutal Death Metal”. They’re called Euphoric Defilement. Look them up.
In the meantime, perhaps I’ll just practice some fun tunes. Like Painkiller, by Judas Priest, or maybe Piss, by Pantera. I’ve got to do something, though. I’m going fucking insane.
So, speaking of my band. Feel free to go to our FB page and check it out. Keep in mind, though, the lead guitars on the recordings are old and from the prior guitarist. The song, “Dreams Carry On” has actually been re-recorded with our new singer, Bill Villayne. Give it a listen!
Hello, Tumblr. Time to make a comeback! My band, Shadows Entwined has recently lost our original bassist, and have acquired a new bassist. We’ve also played a couple of shows (finally!!). We played at The Joint and at The Rainbow. Both awesome shows. Things are moving along, slowly but surely. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some pics and shit, soon.
Stay heavy.
So I recently have returned to band practice. It’s a good thing too. I had almost forgotten how freeing it is to jam and have a good time. I even feel like I’m able to have even more fun and let loose. We’re even practicing in a new rehearsal space and it adds even more new life to the experience. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post a video of a Shadows Entwined show!! Stay heavy everyone!!!
After 2 and a half months of being immobilized in the arm, I have finally been on a more stable, and useful, road to getting better.
My shoulder is the most fucked up part about all of this. It looks like I won’t ever gain complete rotation back, but I have a lot of physical therapy to do and a lot of muscle I need to build back up on my shoulder, and arm in general too.
The good news is that I’ve been playing guitar more and more again lately. I guess my motivation levels haven’t been exactly shooting through the roof. I lack excitement in my life right now and I’m starting to feel uninspired.
Hopefully more to post later. I got a new smart phone and a new cell phone number also, so maybe I can start posting more from my phone.
If you follow, and had my number from before, hit me up.
Well, I broke my arm this past Sunday. I was bike riding and took a spill, dislocating and breaking my arm. I spent 12 hours in the hospital. Good times!
That means no guitar or biking for a good while. =[
Music has been at a boring ass stand still lately. I’m about to quit one shit band, it’s just a waste of my time at this point, as much as I love playing and love some of my band mates.
Shadows Entwined has been moving a little slow because practices have been few and far between. It’s still making progress, though. We have our first show, August 2nd at the Rainbow Room in Hollywood. Hopefully it goes well, I’m getting more and more excited.
Even with the excitement of the upcoming show, I still feel bored with guitar playing lately. I just don’t dream about it the same way. I still do it, I still practice and I’m working really hard on my chops, but the motivation has dissipated lately. We’ll see what the future holds.
On another note, thinking about starting a blog about mountain biking…I’m getting in to it pretty heavily. We’ll see.
I finally received my Voodoo Lab (technically it’s a DMC still) Ground Control Pro midi foot controller yesterday. I went out and bought me a midi cable and set it up last night! I already have all my preferred amp presets all configures! Various lead and rhythm configurations! It’s great! It’s all just a smaller step towards realizing my greater rig dreams! I’m ready to play big shows, now! I’m ready to rock in my band, Shadows Entwined! Fuck yeah!
My new baby! My mint Engl Invader 100, ready to rock!
