Band of Brothers (and a Sister?)

I'm just curious about lot of things (not to mention about my long hiatus blogging). Perhaps because i don't have anything to do lately. Specifically, i don't WANT to have anything to do lately. You know, let the time passes by for me to crouch on my spot. Honestly i really don't have any fun thing to share. Yea, there's storm-thingy going on my brain as my fingers typing. Yet in the end, it's just a wide blank. Waaay to go to write a post.

So these are some of my random thoughts..
Me and my friends from same department just formed a band several weeks ago (YEAH!). It started off in a usual conversation at class and someone got a hunch. Yea, Andre's mind was ticked and we just nodded voluntarily. Anyway, Andre is my compatriot in terms of laziness and such, along with Probo. This circle of joy would be complete if lil Tata is not too dilligent to be in the same league with us. Sigh.


We've been wondering what kind of band it would be, where would it be headed and such. Because we have way too different tastes to mix up. Like, i'm so into acoustics thing, you know, like a song with melodical and infectious sound to play on. A type of music that used to be served by solo artist and br
ings the audiences into dramatic feelings. Something like that. Btw, i was pointed out to be a drummer, what a miles beetween that and my comfort instrument, an acoustic guitar. I did have memories projecting me sit behind snare and stuffs , so. It wouldn't hurt to give it a second try.
Check out his live version!

On the other hand, Tata, my vocalist, is a real pop-mellow-slash-RnB fan (i guess) but she is one hella singer! However, i think she's kinda open for any type of musics except for anything related to my lead guitarist's specialty.
Yea, the magic word is

METAL.

Man, Andre, our lead guitarist, is so mad at this kinda distortion filled sounds. Well, as a truly defender of metal force, he got amazing skills to be reckon with, of course (otherwise we just kick the
shit out of him). Luckily, he could hold back his passionate madness for the sake of our band. Sure, there's a long journey ahead and the last thing we ever wanna see is someone's going insane because too much choking distortion.

And the last member, is our bassist (oh yeah, i save the best for the last, mate). The name's Probo, and he was sooo remarkable at anything..

but playing music instruments. T.T

I mean he seems like an enthusiastic guy first and when the curtain's lifted up he's like, "so where should i put my fingers actually?".

Wasn't that refreshing?

Inexperience is one thing, but when he jumped into action every single note was a punchline, ha! Well, it's what makes this fun and enjoyable.
The good news was, he said he would catch up and we hope we can count on that. Cause put all of those craps aside, he is a fun guy with a freakish mind. (Gimme a high five, Prob..)

Sounds promising eh?

Our first attempt finding our sounds began at a small studio near campus. there were few songs we'd like to try but due to our limited skills, somehow, it turned into play-anything-you-can kinda things. Andre had a love at first sight with amps and seems busy making out with his so-called magic guitar. I was back to my favorite couples, a guitar and a mic stand, although there were times i had to sit and made some beat with strange percussions. Tata was a humming bird, singing along with any sounds that came out from our instruments, checking out lyrics in her i-pod, on and on. Probo? he was just lying around on the corner, making a dead wish.

Ok, kidding. (can't i have some fun, people?)

He'd been on his way to be a good students. At least when we played With Arms Wide Open by Creed, he didn't mess up. Speaking of which, i sucked on drumming, gotta admit it. I screwed the tempo several times and acted like nothing's happened. instead, i shifted the blame to Probo and made him think like it was his mistake. o yeah.
Overall we just had a smooth sailing.

Apart from those, still, we haven't decided what song to practice on. Maybe Stay by NFG ft. Lisa Loeb, or still hanging onto Creed's songs. I dunno. I, personally, wanna play Journey-Don't Stop Believing, or some Jason Mraz's for some acoustic sessions. That's that.

Argh, my head start spinning. I guess i don't need someone to sing me happy kitty to make me sleepy (I still envy you, Sheldon).
To hell with all those assignments craps!
Cheers,
