Steel Days

We have been invited to play Battle of the Bands in American Fork for their annual Steel Days celebration. I am not sure what time we will play but the whole thing starts at 7pm on July 18th. We would love as much support as possible to help us play harder and possibly win. Leave a comment with any questions.

Recording Day

Every band wants a good demo. We have had some recordings floating around but with the change in band members, chemistry changed and so did the songs. We decided to try to record all of us together to see how it would sound. We put two mics down and recorded directly into a new computer we had. We found that the sound chemistry we were looking for came out in the recording. Even more impressive than that, we did each song in 1 or 2 takes and we were satisfied enough with them. We put these recordings on myspace and have some good responses. Now that we have a singer, we wanted a better professional demo so Steve, Jonny, and Will went to a little recording studio in the basement of a house and laid down about 5 songs in 2 hours. It was amazing. We were really tight and again only took 1 or 2 takes on each song. Creed, the sound guy, was very impressed. We should have some new demos up on myspace soon and a demo cd available for purchase. Below are some pictures of us recording.

We Are Complete

It has been way too long not playing shows. We had some great auditions but ultimately we wanted to start playing shows and recording. In our lap dropped a wonderful female vocalist who has the ability to write wonderful melodic lines and good lyrics. Teressa will be our "front man". We are scheduling shows and recording a really nice demo. Check back frequently for updates.

One Down

After many auditions, Steve and Will found someone they feel challenges them musically on bass. Jonny Berrett, a phenomenal bassist for most of his life walked into our audition and was everything we were not expecting. We felt so strongly about his playing and attitude, we asked him to be in the band shortly after the audition. He has agreed and now we are a power trio. We are still looking for a singer and hope to find them soon so we can record more music and play more shows.

Band Drama

As with all bands I suppose, there is drama. It seems that our band is no different. With the departure of Connor, I think everyone in the band asked themselves about the direction we should take the band. The ultimate decision came shortly after our denial for Battle of the Bands at BYU. Stephen felt that his vocals were lacking and to his credit and with much respect, he decided to bow out of the band if the other band members felt the same. Stephen had recorded some vocals and it was that recording that helped Steve and Will decide to audition some singers. We had a pretty good audition last night with a bass player and singer. Though the bass player is not what we are looking for, the singer seemed promising. We have another audition for a singer tonight and hope to have a new band soon. Keep checking back!!

Show Success

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us play at OZZ. We had a really good turn out and had a lot of fun. We love to play shows and love our fans showing support. We started Friday night trying out for Battle of the Bands at BYU. We followed some elevator music bands and a bass/drum combo band that sounded like Violent Femmes. When we got on stage, we set up our original equipment and they had a drum set for Will. He had to do a lot of tweaking to make it sound decent but it worked great. We had to play 3 songs. We rocked so hard and loud that people from the hallway were coming in to see us play. By the end of our set, we had about 15 people watching. The judges commented about how good we were and told us they would let us know by Wed. if we are in the show.
We went out to dinner as a band after that show and found out that Conner would like to keep playing with us until he goes on tour in April. After dinner, we caravaned to OZZ and unloaded our stuff. We were feeling pretty confident from the BYU show that we decided to play 7 songs instead of the 5 we originally thought. At show time, we again rocked the venue and had lots of people dancing in support.
If you didn't make this show, you have to be at the next one!!
