No NYE gigs (that I know of lol) at this point, so I'll be spending the day recording vocals on the batch of new songs that I've been working on since summer. Not sure why it's taken me so long to get these songs finished up, but I'm hoping to record them and "release" them to my sites as I'm going tomorrow. I still have 4 songs withouy lyrics, but I'm thinking that I'll be able to come up with something as I'm working on the other ones tomorrow. Then I can start thinking about a new batch of songs...HAHAHAHA!!!!!
In Triad land, we have a drummer lined up, we just need to set up a jam with him, which I think is going to happen next weekend if I have anything to say about it! I really can't wait to get the trio going again, there is so much potential with that group...
In Dirk Diggler land, we're starting off the new year with a show exactly on January 1 at Cafe 27. I hear it's going to be a pretty big event, so I'm getting super excited...I may even go shopping for a new stage shirt! We already have a few shows lined up for the new year:
Jan. 1 Cafe 27
Jan. 29 Cagney's
Feb. 5 Flossies
Feb. 16 Cafe 27
...so, we're already getting some stuff together. Still waiting to hear on a return date for Little Hoolies, if you go in there, bug em, say "When is Diggler coming back!" Don't worry, we're working on them too!
I've also decided that (after making sure the gear I would need for this is working) I will definitely be working on getting some acoustic solo shows going as well. It was so awesome to go back to doing those last year that I realized I kind of missed doing them! So dammit I'm gonna try to get a few going!
In the world of my composing, I already have one new song for my school's band written, and I'm planning on writing at least 3-4 more songs for them as well as doing an arrangement of an old classic fusion song. I love this time of year, as for some reason I'm somewhat more creative than usual when it comes to composing, and with having my studio fully working after last year's move, I can't wait to see what gets created!
I'll post a studio update tomorrow as I'm doing vocals on these new songs...
Happy Everything...
Happy and safe New Years to you all...
That is all...TB
