Next songs in queue for learning:

I shot a quick video of our keyboardist playing the song "Another Day" by Dream Theater. He had no idea I did...he's blind after all.

Ok, time for a band update.

"Personal Jesus" has come out rather well. It needs work, and needs all the keyboard samples thrown in, but it's coming along nicely.

"Private Eyes" also started out very well. It is about 90% done, and only needs the harmonies worked out better for the vocals.

When this gets off the ground, everyone has to come see us.

cool vid.. when are we going to get a vid of the live performance?

I'll take the camera next week to practice. Unfortunately, we haven't played any shows yet. I'll try to talk someone into taking a video of us all practicing. We were discussing making some audio recordings (the place where we practice is a recording studio) so that we can make a demo to whore ourselves out for gigs.

sweet action.

So far, I think we're doing rather well. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to music, so for me to say that really means something. Hopefully everyone will agree.

Kind of odd the way he holds his hands. Not bad though.

Do you have to rent the studio out or what?

nice vid man keep it up.keep us posted.

No. The singer / guitarist, Joe, owns it. It's actually in the basement of his house. It has all the equipment we could ever use.

Keep in mind he's completely blind, so he has no idea what's "normal".

nice vid man keep it up.keep us posted.

Will do. I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible. I'm sure we'll setup a myspace site. I will most likely be taking care of it due to my lack of life.

i was going to post that up but i was not completely sure if it was him.but very impressive none the less.i tried to learn sometype of instrument but i never could.well that and th fact that my job keeps me from doing lots of things.post up whenever you have a full song on vid with the whole group.cant wait to see it good work man.

Update!

We have our first show on December 22nd.

www.uglysweaterrock.com

If I get any recordings from it, I'll share for sure.

you better share them, all we get to hear is you talking about your little band.

Yeah...but it's a fun hobby. Would you rather hear me say "22v"?

very true.

I'm nervous because I don't know how the band will go over. Our first song of the night is "Land of Confusion" by Genesis and will show off individual talents right out of the gate. Hopefully people dig it.

vidz man post some of the show.

Will do my best man.

Yeah, definitely get at least 2 people to take some vids...that way you have redundancy.

As promised...
