Three Hundred Farts

So, today I went to band practice. We haven't had a good practice in a while, but that changed today. We all did really well. Jordan is getting a lot more consistent with drumming. Jared just got a new bass which is a blessing from God (his old one was crap). Nate brought a bucket of energy as usual. Dustin....well, he's still a weenie. But he's learning a lot of stuff fast and getting a feel for being in a band. He's doing good so far. Anyway, our new song is coming along well. We didn't get much time to work on it though. But I'm pretty sure it'll be ready before our show. Also, since we added Dustin I've been hammering out my vocal styling. Before, when I played guitar and sang, I was restricted to a lower growing tone. That was because of how hard it was to play and sing at the same time. Believe me, I've almost passed out a few times from over exerting myself. Anyway, now I'm free to focus on tone. What I've come up with is pretty sweet. It's a crunchy mid range yell. Maybe kind of like War of Ages, but with a more distorted sound. Adding Dustin as also allowed me to make the vocals more varied/dynamic i.e. changing pitch. Just the fact that our vocals are improved and more dynamic gives us a harder sound...it's pretty cool. I never realized how much a few vocal improvements would help the band as a whole.

Ok, if you've endured my long rant about how amazing my band is, God bless you. If you stopped reading half way through, I don't blame you. I had only intended to write about half as much as I did. Sorry. But yeah. I'm really passionate about my band.
