Starting Over For Now
In spite of what was one of (in my opinion) our worst practices ever, it seems we've picked up a bassist. If you've been out of it, yes, I'm in a band with Buddy (aka Brandon Newcomber) and THE Neuch (aka John). I guess we've picked up Matt Reidenbach on bass too. So after practice, I was talking to him. For some reason I found the conversation funny, but it's probably not. Well, I'll copy/paste it anyways. I haven't done that in a while...

gstreet4life (11:12:51 PM): heya DepOrville (11:13:13 PM): yo gstreet4life (11:13:16 PM): this is Bryam gstreet4life (11:13:18 PM): Bryan gstreet4life (11:13:19 PM): no m gstreet4life (11:13:22 PM): just an n DepOrville (11:13:25 PM): ok DepOrville (11:13:27 PM): yeah gstreet4life (11:13:29 PM): heh gstreet4life (11:13:34 PM): anyways, thanks for playing with us DepOrville (11:13:38 PM): not a problem DepOrville (11:13:44 PM): so I am assuming I am in? gstreet4life (11:14:22 PM): if you wanna look past the crappiness we displayed tonight, then i think so. DepOrville (11:14:38 PM): sure gstreet4life (11:14:41 PM): heh DepOrville (11:14:47 PM): well, I actually didn't think it was that bad gstreet4life (11:14:57 PM): okay, it was probably just me gstreet4life (11:15:02 PM): anyways DepOrville (11:15:08 PM): especially considering I was completely new and you guys had never played with me gstreet4life (11:15:21 PM): probably, yeah DepOrville (11:16:06 PM): the sad thing of all this is that your guys "bad" is way better than the best of any band I was in during high school DepOrville (11:16:18 PM): so this is definitely really awesome DepOrville (11:17:12 PM): I have been in some really bad bands gstreet4life (11:17:35 PM): anyways, you can probably count on our other practices having about the same amount of Neuch and I playing random things while Buddy stands there and wishes that we would all play the same thing gstreet4life (11:17:49 PM): this is my first time gstreet4life (11:18:17 PM): i've only been playing for....since the summer before freshman year DepOrville (11:18:18 PM): heh DepOrville (11:19:00 PM): there is definitely potential in this band DepOrville (11:19:18 PM): both buddy and neuch seem like good songwriters gstreet4life (11:19:22 PM): oh, heck yeah gstreet4life (11:19:26 PM): they're great gstreet4life (11:19:38 PM): and both really good at soloing also gstreet4life (11:20:13 PM): yeah, i think so too gstreet4life (11:20:16 PM): and so does neuch gstreet4life (11:20:34 PM): buddy's always just sort of ...docile... gstreet4life (11:20:35 PM): haha gstreet4life (11:20:39 PM): we're a funny group DepOrville (11:20:42 PM): yeah

It's true, we are a funny group. When I found Matt and we wanted to try him out, we each decided to email him and tell him of our taste in music. I bet those were funny for him to read. With Buddy being a singer/songwriter type (btw, his solo album is shared at \\MyBuddy if you're on the GCC network), THE Neuch being a classic rock type, and my self being more of an eclectic mix of 90s alternative / modern rock / Brit-rock / accoustic / everything else including techno and rap... we're all quite different people. and after playing just once with Matt, I can see he's another dimension... Which means he's probably perfect for the band. awesome.

Well, now we're just looking for a singer with a rock voice... if you know any at GCC, lemme know. mmmmeh. It's probably better if work on that ourselves. okay...now time to play more boggle.
