Hey guys, we have got a full line-up now for the gig @ Kings Arms,  we will have 20-30 minutes stage time which is around 5 to 7 songs,  our next step is to make up a song list, we will need to make this happen ASAP so we can practise the song before we have our first rehearsal, hopefully next weekend.

It is important for everyone to chip in their favourite and post a link to the youtube video or better yet register as an member and make a post like this one so we can share ideas and maybe have a vote.

Members include:

Vocal: Young Jae

Guitar: Tony

Guitar: Francis

Bass: Matthew

Drum: Glen

The following song list is the songs myself and Glen (the drummer) used to play,  we don’t necessary need to play any of these but we’re thinking to include Jimmy Eat world songs and Everlong and obviously there are Japanese and Chinese songs which isn’t likely to make it to our song list:

I have just called you guys this morning but thought I would still like to make this post. It is a pity we cannot make it to the gig but there’s always next time.

Thanks to Gabriel we’ve had this invitation from a Japanese band “Neko Vicious”, some information about that band and about the event here:

Here’s the infor from the event organiser:

The time that you have on the stage will be between 20 and 30 minutes.
So maybe 5 to 7 songs can be played.

Our band and another Japanese rock band will be performing on 31 August.
Total over two hours gig.

There will be no cost to perform.
But the entry charge that the audience needs to pay at the door will be
5 dollars.
We have to prepare the door person by ourselves.
So I may ask each band to take a part of door person.

If you decided to perform on this gig, please let me know your band's
name as well.
And also if you have some videos of your performance please let me
watch.

The important thing is the number of the audiences.
If the number of the audiences was not so many, we may not be able to
perform at Kings Arms again.
please advertise this gig by yourself and let the many people come.

Guys, keen to play this song. Pretty traight forward slow song.

Jam tomorrow at same time, I might be able to come earlier, will text you guys if I can.

Want to Get Better at Your Instrument? Get Out and Play!

by Sebastian Otero

We have all been there, sitting at a bar, cafè, or restaurant enjoying the sounds of a live group or solo act playing some cool tunes. These musicians may not be famous or super virtuosos, but they are playing out, they sound good, and they are having fun. So how did they get there?

Most musicians that set out to learn an instrument begin with a mix of private lessons, books, CDs, and videos. Those that are smarter will surround themselves with fellow musician friends or relatives with whom they can jam with on a consistent basis. Playing with other musicians is an important key to getting better at your instrument. In fact, it is as critical as practicing the theory, techniques, and scales you work so hard at in the confines of your home.

To begin with, no matter what your skill level, playing with other musicians always provides an honest perspective about your playing that solo practice cannot offer. When you perform with other musicians, you put your musical skills on the spot and this “spotlight” will, inevitably, force you to notice aspects of your playing that need work and improvement. Perhaps your scales are not as solid as you thought, you feel stuck playing the same chords, you don’t know enough cover songs, or you may even realize you can’t really recognize the names of the notes or chords on your instrument!

Jams with musicians, even amateur ones, will also expose you to their musical vocabulary. You will learn from them—a new song, riff, or chord progression, or a new technique if you play the same instrument. If you find yourself in the situation of playing with musicians that are much better than you, it’s ok to feel nervous. But don’t bail out, freak out, make excuses, or feel intimidated. Most musicians are cool and they were also beginners one point.

If you feel too much pressure, let them know you are learning and want to get better. Playing with musicians that are better than you helps enormously because you are exposed to their superior musicianship, plus you are inspired and motivated to practice harder.

If some advanced musicians do not respond to you for a possible second session, don’t take it personally. You may be too inexperienced for the time they can invest with you. But so what! You got to jam with them. Move on to the next jam and you will find advanced guys that don’t mind having a rookie around.

You should also be open to playing with people who play instruments that may not be common to your instrument or style. For example, if you play guitar, you may consider jamming with musicians that play violin, trumpet, percussion, sax, flute, cello, etc. This will expose you to different instrumental languages and provide for fun and unusual jams.

Here are some tips for finding “jam buddies.”

Keep in mind that consistent practice on your instrument will always be a important foundation for improvement, but don’t forget, practice time is supposedly designed to help you prepare for real performance. Seek to find a balance between practice time and playing with others. Indeed, your live jamming will influence and improve your practice habits; jamming provides feedback on what you need to work on. The ultimate goal is to play with others and in front of others. So, get out of the house and go find yourself some jam buddies. Play out and watch how you gradually improve.

Puddle Of Mudd – Blurry

Everything’s so blurry
And everyone’s so fake
And everybody’s so empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I’ll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what your doing
Imagine where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it my face

Everyone is changing
There’s noone left that’s real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what your doing
I wonder where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

[chorus]

Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you where to runaway
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you where to runaway

[chorus]

This pain you gave to me

You take it all
You take it all away…
This pain you gave to me
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me

This week’s off ;))

Listen to the recording last week holy crap the echo is heavy! Check out Blurry by Puddle of Mudd in the next post.
