"I got a letter in the mail today..."

So lately, I have been thinking of old bands I've been in. One band that sticks out was a short lived band out of Eloy, AZ. Edgar, Anthony, and I were just another ska and punk band, but something about this band meant a lot to me. It really felt like it was going somewhere. We recorded a few songs out of a million of them. Plus, we a sick ass Choking Victim song, as well as a local song by Elron. Well, not really a cover, but a trade of songs. We traded a song called "Fat Mom" for some song that was a cool short and fast song, and we changed it to a slow ska song at the beginning and then build up from there. Fun fun fun times.

Well, from what I heard from Edgar, They are doing a show at the Ave. Oh how I wish I can be there. Cultura, Elron, and some other bands. All for the day of Feb. 11th. Aka, 2/11. Everyone is going to get fucked up on 211. Which is still gross to me. Plus, it has fish oil in it, so I ca't have it. Oh well.

Once I start a band, I like to do some covers of Illegal Citizen songs. The combo kit: Fat Mom, Don't Call Me..., and Bloodshot Eyes.

Hopefully I can do these songs sooner than later with a band. Hopefully...

Negative Feedback! Tucson Hardcore! Fuck Yeah! When the drummer clicks in that song at 3:07.... it has to be the fastest intro drumming I have ever saw. I wish I can make a band like this. Singer Griffin is a chill guy. Hung out with him at a backyard in Tucson. But more about that story later.

Off to work. >_>

Missing In "Action!"

"NO!" Says the Braskies in their song "Heart & Soul". My Favorite song from them. And I miss that song. I believe the last time I heard the song was... Well, I thinking in Tucson when we did a show with them at the Living Room. Only a hand full of people showed up. Felt bad that They came all the way down here and played to 10 people. Better than nothing, you know?

It reminds me of them from when the AZ Ska Weekend in April. After Reggie left. It seem to me that all local music died in AZ. Or maybe it's just me. The Braskies are back now, yet. Still seems they are not as flexible as they use to. Feels like I'm doing the same with me here and doing nothing all of a sudden. I keep telling myself that it's just me being too busy with work. But even with that said, I can still do something on the side. Too bored to where I want/need to go to ever show I can, but can't. I'm missing a big part of me when I moved out here. I miss getting out there in playing to myself in a bedroom, or go as far as Flagstaff to play in from of a great number of people. I miss it a lot.

I am trying to get a band together still with my friend DJ in Garden Grove. I feel between him and I we can make a kickass band. I can really feel it. But no luck with a drummer. I am playing bass in a ska punk band with my friend Matt. But No dice on getting together as one to do so.

I just hope when I do get into a band, I haven't lost my musician's skill. :/

Only Five Minutes To Write This.....

So, I'm feel like I'm going crazy. Something is missing in my life. Of course I miss my friend and family in AZ. But I feel lazy... Well, not lazy, but very inactive with what I'm not doing. I need to get out more and find something to do. I still want to get this band going to do some shows out here and hopefully out there in AZ. However, I am disable to do anything without a car.

Someone... buy me a car. :P
