it’s been awhile.

It’s been awhile since i’ve posted anything!!! ok, so; for the last couple months the band has seen it’s shares of ups and downs but there has always been a light at the end of the tunnel regardless of how any shows went. There have been some shows that i really would rather forget, it might be that I am a perfectionist when it comes to music; I can’t stand it when someone isn’t prepared to play their instrument! regardless of how those shows went, we kept on trucking (yes, that just happened). We played an acoustic show, did a charity bowling event with a couple big local bands and opened for my friends bands cd release show. All those shows where pretty rad, but it was so hard to sell tickets to them though, people just don’t like going to shows anymore and if they do they just stand there and stare which is quite demoralizing.

The local music scene isn’t what it used to be. I remember going to shows on friday nights and listening to these great local bands play; musically, they were phenomenal and you could totally see the passion in the music they were playing, which isn’t the case now-a-days.  Unfortunately, I have noticed that musicianship takes a back seat to performance and that’s a real shame. Seems like being in a band is more of a fad or a product that you are trying to get people to buy. It may be that i’m older and a square, but I can’t get myself to see music that way, I respect it and take it too serious to that, but that’s where the local music scene is at now.

I begin to wonder to myself when do i give up on my dreams to be a musician and begin to try and getting myself ready to be an actual adult? I mean i’m still pretty young (23) but it seems to me that as time passes by so do my dreams. I’m not saying im ready to hang up the towel, but I have invested a lot of time and money into music and drums to see other people do what i want to be doing; it’s really unfair.

to be continued and junk.
