Some fun stuff to read
So I know what you’re asking yourself. Where are the Public Static shows? Well we’re working on them. Currently we’re hitting this with a two-pronged attack, using a classic pincer maneuver on the TC music scene.
The first is we’re recording some of the newer material to use for demos to get us into shows. And secondly we’re continually writing new stuff so that we have something else to play once we get booked for shows. So my plan is to book us many shows as soon as we can finish a decent demoing of current PS auditory fun-ness.
So whats new with you? I feel like I dominate the conversation on this blog. You want to share?
Ok, since you’re just going to sit there quietly, allow me to break this awkward silence you’ve brought about.
Doran and I met to sketch out a couple new songs last week. It was fun, and a departure from my usual writing routine. Typically I try to find a hooky vocal and guitar line simultaneously. Now I’m going to be going back and trying to write a vocal melody and lyrics over existing guitar work. I’m intrigued by how the results will turn out.
Last weekend I attended the Sloppy Chops Pickin’ Party again. This time I got to see robotboy do their thing with acoustic guitars and a stripped down set. Was pretty awesome if you ask me. They are too humble to admit it, but they have a really cool sound that works in both quieter and ear-splitting settings. I wish they played more often.
Tomorrow we’re playing Justin’s block party again. I hope its not too hot. I think outdoor shows are tough. Controlling the sound and levels is tough to do yourself, and hearing yourself is often nigh impossible. I wish us luck.
Talk at y’all again soon. Hopefully you’ll participate a little more next time. Just sayin…
