The last time we practiced as Candyaudioline was in early January in preparation for our recording. We met at Alberto’s studio to practice the old songs.
Kiel did drums for us. He’s pretty good for someone who’s coming in without having listened to the original tracks. We took a little longer for “We’ve Been There” because of the complicated drum patterns and weird arrangement of the song. Other songs we practiced were “Painful,” “Nearby Town,” “All Smiles,” and “Can’t Sleep”, all of which he got almost on the first try.
It was great to see everyone again and to play together. Before it started, we were all itching to get in the studio and play. I couldn’t help jumping up and down throughout the session. We also got to talk about possible gig dates (coordinating skeds). Allan might not make it on Buzz Night again, but we’ll try to play with me on rhythm if we get to practice before then (just the four of us). We’re supposed to play at the UP fair, but they say that there’s been a lot of shady stuff going on among the organizers, so we’re waiting to see if we could grab a spot. I’m also looking into a certain post-Valentine Rockwell gig.
After the practice, Allan held an SPK session, Ralph went ahead, and Ayn took me home. What a great Sunday night.
