Band

So, I'm now in a band. This is not a terribly new occurrence for me as I have been in a band before. However, the last band never took off. This time I'm hoping things will be different, and there is much evidence as to why it may be more successful this time. So far we haven't had much practice together as a band, but we regularly communicate and write songs when we are not at practice. This works by a process of one person (there are four in total) starting a track, then others will provide feedback and add bits and pieces. Over a week or two the song will take shape and we learn it ready for when we practice as a whole band. This may seem like an unusual approach but it seems to be working for us as we are all terribly busy people and as such can't always make frequent practice.
Anyway, our genre is complicated. We're instrumental for the most part, although we plan to play the odd song with vocals. The music we're currently writing is probably closest to the rock genre, but quite progressive. So I'm very much looking forward to having our first song recorded- which may be in the next few days.

Anyway, that's me up to date.

Feel free to comment,

Thanks,
