- See my lovely boy :)
- Play to a sold out over it’s capcity cockpit
- Spend the evening with everyone I love, befriend, and care about all in one room.
If only everyday was like that…or at least once a week!
Somebody please make the next 17 or so hours go by really fast please? Thanks :)
I have missed you a lot :) Might have to upload some stuff up here if it comes out okay, been recording some covers, doesn’t mean anything, just for giggle :) x
So Friday we went into the practice room to get our set sorted for the Cockpit show on Tuesday. It went really good, and we’ve got a good set with two new tracks for you, one of them BRAND NEW AND OFF THE EP. Wheyy, so hopefully anyone who’s coming will enjoy it.
We aren’t actually having another practice until February which is very strange to see, because phil goes away early december, I go to the Maldives over Christmas, then Rob’s on tour, and then we’re on tour. But hopefully me and Sam will get some writing in so in February we’re all ready to go back but wait….Rob’s on tour and has an album release in February. Yeah, you get the picture…Hectic basically.
FINALLY got my piano back to Leeds with my, so hapapy :) Recorded loads of stuff, random covers of songs just me and piano, might put them up here soon, if anyone will actually want to listen to them haha!
Anyways, have a good sunday night! x
Didn’t post yesterday, was like the first time I’ve seen Mikey in a while, so stayed off the Macbook aha.
So my last post was pretty negative, mainly because that’s what the situation is. BUT, I pulled a all nighter I didn’t particularly want, driven mostly by insomnia, to put a few words out on the web that we needed a drummer. I posted on Punktastic and mannaged to find a dude from Leeds, and also had words with a drummer from my college, and a dude I used to be in a band with. Which kinda of made the situation slightly better. These drummers are currently recording demos to send to us, so hopefully something good will come of it.
Got some more recording quotes back, and mannn they are pricey aha. Going to check them out a bit more nearer the time, but it’s looking good :) We got recommended to the guy who did Kids In Glass Houses, and Me vs Hero, but it’s something we just can’t afford, so we’ve narrowed it down to 1 of 2 places.
We’ve been offered a show to play Hull City Hall this Sunday, which is apparently a couple of thousand people, but the dude can’t let us know if it’s confirmed until tomorrow. So if anyone’s around Hull on Sunday and we are playing please come see us play a stage far too big for us.
Lastly, our Cockpit show sold out finally, which I’m so happy about. It’s a good feeling to know that it will be absolutely rammed, and not have to worry if anyone’s going to show on the night. I’m also happy about it because even Paige and Me vs Hero didn’t sell that place out, and it just shows how good the Leeds scene is that local bands manage to do well :)

Pretty strange day for stuff today. It’s getting REALLY hard with Rob. But we can’t blame him. He’s in a big signed metal band that are about to release an album, and he definitely needs to and very much so should put it first before us. So the time has come where we’re looking for a new drummer again. If anyone reading this is interested or knows anyone that might be please pass the message on. I have to say I’m gutted, but we’ve been offered some good shows in 2010 that we can’t pass up, and Rob needs to concentrate on the album. Obviously we’ll be keeping him until we can because he’s so a decent guy, and we never know hopefully someone might just walk along at just the right time…but probably not.
It pretty much sucks more then anything because it’s like we’ve just got started again, and it looks like we’re coming to a halt, but I’m determined that we won’t. Still can’t help being gutted though…
