Playing Old Songs

Hello everyone...

it's been a while since my last Candy-Post...

i guess it's safe to say that we're back and everything seems to be alright again... Our two new members, Jeff and Celene has really helped a lot in making things interesting again... Practice has never been this fun and fruitful... although we've yet to experience playing a flawless gig but i guess we're getting there...

last night's practice was great... we focused on playing songs that we seldom play... "for all i care", "out of fuel", "broken to pieces", "all smiles", "can't sleep", "nearby town", "pretend that we're smart", "light a candle" and "painful" were just a few of the songs we practiced last night and Jeff's playing brought back the decency in all of these songs specially in "broken...", "painful", "out of fuel" and "can't sleep"... we sounded more like an indierock band which focuses more on it's indie-ness... even songs like "we've been there" and "my silver chair - dance version" gained some "twee-ness"... unlike before with our past drummer wherein these song rocked a lot...

Celene on the otherhand fit's this bands requirements .. She sings in ways i like my songs to be sung although she's still having problems with some songs specially the higher pitched ones... i think a few more practices and she'll be able to do it properly...

i'm very thankful to Rene for filling in for Maggot every now and then... hopefully when everything's really back to normal, we'll see more of Maggot... it's still catching up time for both new members and Maggot has more important things to do... when that time comes, it'll surely be a blast...

lot's of things to look foward to and lots of old songs to fool around with...
