Band Rehearsal Recap - Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
1st Band Rehearsal Summary from Matt Towers 1/22/2009:
So, we played through a lot of different songs last night… Good times. Sorry you missed it, Mark. I hope your wrist gets better soon…
J, I’m not sure if you plan on emailing a list of the stuff we went through last night or not, but it probably can’t hurt to at least throw it out there so we can look through it and decide what songs we really think are worth working on.
So far, our song list is officially:
Cocaine
Rock ‘N Me
Selling the Drama (1/2 step up for simplicity – I thought it sounded fine that way)
As far as what to work on, we have the basic songs down pretty well I’d say, so a lot of this is going to be working on song endings, vocal harmonies (where applicable), and just getting a tighter groove in general (this will become a bigger challenge once we have a drummer).
I’m not sure what new songs we are going to work on next week along with these three, as we have a decent list to work with. I’d like to throw my $0.02 out there on at least one of the songs… Let’s try to learn “Vultures” if we can. It has a cool bass line and guitar hook. Vocals will require a pretty high range though, especially if we try to harmonize. Any other songs you guys feel strongly about for next week?
BTW, I had a thought about Jay’s Awesome Mango Martini… I can totally see us introducing ourselves with Jason saying “I’m J”, then Andy saying “and I’m Awesome” followed by a collective “and together we’re… Jay’s Awesome Mango Martini”.
