Vampires & Werewolves X



Sunday, April 15, 2007

Leaven had a good jam practice today. We practiced pop songs which Helter-Skelter had played before but didn't quite pull it off due to some unexplainable reasons. Why are we playing these? Well...the band has a P.O.P gig coming up next. There are going to be 3 seperate sets of songs which we are each going to perform in between the 2 morning masses @ Holy Spirit on the 29th. With only 2 more precious practices left, alot of stress has been put onto Leaven's shoulders.

However, chords and band parts are being finalized as you read this and the band is FAR from falling apart...in fact, after today's practice, I thought the band has reached yet another milestone. We have definitely come a great way from when we first started...individually AND as a band.
Auggy's drum timings and fills are AWEsome if not for some minor mistakes here and there.
Randall's timings have greatly improved and he has some KILLer solo skills, in fact, he should definitely do more lead parts here and there...have more confidence in yourself bro..we all do.
Zac's vocal range has noticeably improved alot. He can no longer just be called a bass...I'm convinced he can do alot of tenor parts now...have more confidence in your singing dude.
Fonz's skill with the bass does not only come with his newly aquired bass amplifiers. He was shaky with his bass playing in the past, esspecially with fast bass parts. One could tell that he was smoking in the background quite often in the past....play this part then stop awhile then play another part or play something which didn't sound right. Now, he is confident in his parts and is surprisingly good and comfortable with fast bassy songs.

With the arrival of Clifford, Dawn and Verena, the band can now reach new heights musically and spiritually, which I could only day-dream about before.

Then finally there is Nick...hehehe..you thought I left you out man...Nick has been with the band since the beginning. When we didn't have a name and didn't have anywhere to have our regular jam practice he was there. He has been with the band through it's rough times and smoo...wait, the band has never had a smooth time. It was he who kept the band together when we were known as Helter-Skelter. It was Nick who has lead us to become...Leaven.

With all that we've gone through, we can only get better.....and get cool band T-Shirts which Clifford is designing.

Truly it has been a pleasure...
I love my guitar 5:41 pm♥
