Updating the Sound ... Finding the Groove

So, it's been a little while since our last post, so I thought I'd give you all a bit of an update. Two important things have happened over the last little while.

Firstly, we're looking for a new rehearsal space. The new space will hopefully allow us to continue our semiweekly evening rehearsal jams, while potentially offering us the luxury of more flexible rehearsal times. If we're really lucky, a new space would also afford us the luxury of a dedicated P.A. and recording system. If anyone has information regarding such a space, PLEASE let us know as soon as possible!

Secondly (and possibly the reason why we need a new jam space so badly), we have been working on several new songs. We're really excited about the progress we're making with them. They certainly have a more progressive feel to them, drifting away from the pop sound of some of our earlier songs. All this being said, we're constantly evolving the sound in order to maintain some sort of unity and oneness in our sound. Are we Pop Rock? Are we Prog Rock? Is it some kind of long-form psychedelic jam? We're having a lot of trouble deciding! (And frankly, we're having a lot of fun NOT deciding!) Besides, look at the line-up of bands on the right, and tell me there isn't a bit of everything in there? Pop, Psychedellic, Progressive, Rock, Funk, Blues, Space, Electronic, Dance? (I wish it were Christmas '67! Bad weather be damned, I would have been there!)

Anyway, we're hoping to line up another gig over the next little while to try out the new material and see how it flies.

Stay Tuned!

In other news, I've put together a slide show featuring pictures taken at the Cavern Club on February 22nd, 2009. Thanks very much to Ian's friend for taking these! You rock!
