Swimming in Blood

sorry it's been a while since my last post, we've been really busy with band stuff the past couple of days and it's consumed all my time. but i'm not complaining at all... finally it seems like we are making the progress we came here to make. here's what's been going on so far: 3 days ago we met a club promoter at walmart (oh the people you'll meet there!) and he seemed interested in our description of our music. we exchange contact info. 2 days ago his boss at the promoting agency calls me, we talk business, and i get really excited. if he decides he likes our music and can work with it we will soon be playing a circuit of clubs in tampa on a regular basis and also getting airtime on 1 local radio station and 2 internet radio stations. that night i write another song, it's an interlude piece that i think i'll be putting between tracks 3 and 4. yesterday the wonderful Brito took band photos and posted our first video update on Youtube, our facebook page went from 9 to over 40 likes, we set up an official Twitter account (which you can follow here), and a very famous person whom we all admire watched our youtube video and looked at our band pics. (oh yeah, you can also watch our video update here)

as a result of this progress in such a short time, we decided to celebrate in grand fashion last night. i wrote what i believe will be track 4 of our album, we played tons of Metal Gear Solid 2 until shit got TOO real, pigged out on some pizza rolls, watched Rampage (which is an amazing movie, i had no idea that was how the BTK killings went down) and we played a little Super Derpy Helmet Brothers (aka New Super Mario Bros Wii) until Brito couldn't take anymore and dragged Keifer off to bed with her. i woke up this morning and realized that when we party we have a habit of not finishing our drinks, leaving them in obscure places, and starting new drinks while our old drinks sit out. hmmmm.

anyway this new track... i wish i had a way to post a piece of it because it is FILTHY. it is definitely the grungiest piece of dubstep i have written to date. i can't WAIT to put some of Keifer's piercing cold screams over this dark dirty bassline. it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. hopefully that will happen soon as we are going to be recording some tracks here in the next couple days so we can send them to the promoter for review.

but for now, night has fallen, which means it's time to wake up, go to taco bell, and watch Teen Titans. because that's how we roll.
