Met up with the rest of the guys at the Quad studios in Leicester last night for a bit of an audition, played a broad range of stuff from skanking one drop rhythms to what i can only describe as hard core punk!
All i can say is they must have liked what they heard as they were all very enthusiastic and asked me back next week!
The plan is to start doing gigs a bit later on this year, so lots of time to fine tune things.
I must say what an eye opener it was to go from being a bloke who plays at home a bit to playing in a full on recording studio with five strangers, a bit surreal i guess you could say!
I did feel a bit like a very small fish in a very large lake as i was the only armature there, guitarist semi-pro, drummer signed, singer sang with the Splitters for 15 years, but what a great bunch who i know i can learn a lot from.
I did have one problem though, and it was a BIG problem, and that was on some of the faster punky stuff i just could not hear my sax! i think i need a monitor speaker? in front firing just the sound of the sax back at me? now I've got a Roland cube 30x, will that work as a monitor or will i have to get one of those wedge things?
Thanks.
