Finally...
I've probably written about 5 or 6 blogs in the past couple of months. Unfortunately, none of them have made it online because they were all shit. I was in hotels, airports or a train. Writing blogs when you're not hyper or even enthusiastic is a bit crap. I'm not really feeling hyper just now, but I have stuff to say.
Firstly, Giggage. Two of them in the next week. This Saturday we're in Skins with The Towers and Failed The Hero, £4 bucks at the door, 14+... come along, kidnap someone and make them go, it'll be a laugh. On Xmas Eve, we'll be in Skins playing a selection of Xmas Songs for all to hear... An Astronot Alternative Xmas. Super!
Songs... We'll be dropping a few songs after Xmas. Out will be Columbia, TRT and possibly a couple of others. Which leads me on to...
Writing. With Ally joining the band, it's really left me free to twiddle around and explore ideas. We've written a new song called "My Alibi" (or "My AllyBiy") so far, it's grand, little bits have been added to some of the older songs that we're gonna keep as well. Ally and I hope to spend a bit of time writing new songs together after Xmas, in time for recording in March.
Recording. We're going recording in March with Nick from My Minds Weapon. He's worked with some great up and coming bands from Scotland (Flood Of Red, Azriel etc) so we're excited about that. Dan Goldsworthy, who plays guitar with My Minds Weapon, will also be sitting in when we're tracking guitars and helping out with the production. We're really looking forward to this. We think that Nick can get us the modern, high energy sound that we'd really like. We've not quite hit what we want our recorded sound to be, this should be a step in the right direction. At present, I've not got a clue what songs we'll record. We'll probably demo stuff after Xmas and pick something out.
What next? Well, once we get some writing and recording done... gigs. That's what we want most. We spent a lot of time twiddling our thumbs and getting pissed off this year. I got really fucked off with even being in the band, as I'm sure I said in an earlier post, or somewhere on the internets. Ally joining should be a new chapter. We'll plan some stuff out and try and hook something up with another band. We need to do that!
Anyway... From me, and the rest of the guys. Have a good Christmas and a "Sensible" New Year :)
