The first show in a long time.

The show went really well. Small crowd but we played better than any of the times we'd rehearsed. It all came naturally. Like breathing. Although I've got to working on my breathing when singing - so maybe not really like breathing. Like some other easy-come-natural thing.

I just heard the name of our band in a Talking Heads lyric to the song "New Feeling." I'm just going to say for the record (no pun intended) that the song had nothing to do with the selection of the name. Randomness and cool/big soundingness had to do with the selection of the name. We would like people to listen to our records for a million years. After that, they can put them down if they want to. We'd be ok with that.

So the show went well and now we're going to try and book some more. Not sure if they will be acoustic sets but I really want to get those goddamn backing tracks going so we can at least say we've tried that.

Anyway, now we've got to really put our heads to the drummer search. Still no meetings but a couple are set up for the coming weeks. We'll see what happened.

Also, going to try and record proper demos of some new songs this week. If those work well then planning can be made for EP number 2. The louder, more electronic, more modern sounding record? Or the gentler, softer, throwback to the Velvet Underground whisperacoustic record?
