Band Rehearsal Recap - Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

From Matt 2/19/09-

What we’ve decided:

* Anthony Dawson isn’t reliable enough to commit, and Rod Means isn’t viable because of a new baby in the house
* We miss Mark Ross, and we secretly (okay, openly) hope he’ll be there when our set list is ready for prime time.

Our current set list:

· Jet – Cold Hard Bitch
· Gavin DeGraw – I Don’t Want To Be
· The Lemonheads – It’s A Shame About Ray
· .38 Special - Hold On Loosely
· Eric Clapton - Cocaine
· Live - Selling The Drama
· John Mayer - Vultures
· The Refreshments - Mekong
· STP - Interstate Love Song
· Steve Miller Band - Rock ‘N’ Me
· Foo Fighters – My Hero
· Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out
· Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fall Down

Considerations for next week (based on our discussion):

· REM – Texarkana -OR- Orange Crush (Will update the blog once we decide for sure)
· Tom Petty – Last Dance with Mary Jane
· Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss (Future alternatives - Warped, Californication, Under The Bridge, Dani California)
· Duran Duran - Rio (time permitting)
· Any others? Something besides the above listed? See Below.

Other band issues to address:

· Should I approach Andy Christofferson to see if he is interested in drumming regularly?
· What about a band name?

Addendum from Andy 2/22/09

-We will plan on having Matt's next door neighbor (Ben) sit in on drums for this week's rehearsal.
-This week's rehearsal will be THURSDAY night in Brighton from 8:30 - 10:30 PM.
-All of the new song candidates for this week have been uploaded, including a piano-bass-drum-vocal version of Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want To Be." We are going to try this version at rehearsal this week with Matt on keys and Andy on bass.
-For a future date, do we want to add R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" or "Night Swimming" to the list? These may be options where Matt could play keyboards and we wouldn't need a guitar. Additionally, one of these might be an option where Jason could play bass?
-Assignment for everyone for next week - come up with 3 'serious' suggestions for a band name. We will do this each week until something sticks.

Other songs that have been suggested -

• The Killers "When You Were Young" or "All These Things That I've Done"
• Joe Jackson "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
• The Raconteurs - ?
• Cake - "Never There"
• Linkin Park - "Place For My Head"
  

Pre Rehearsal #4 Info

February 11th's rehearsal is cancelled in favor of having Andy & Jason move drums to Brighton and get the new rehearsal space setup.
