So here's the news/gossip/update:
We played a quiet open mic night to about 25 onlookers on the 2nd of December. A select few friends were invited, some were strangers, a good mix of both. No one left the room once we started playing. Not only did we hold their attention for half an hour, but there was head nodding and toe tapping! NOTHING makes a musician happier than seeing the audience enjoying themselves, let me tell you!
The word of the evening that was used to describe me (by an audience member) was CAPTIVATING.
Never in my life have I been called that!! That I'm aware of!
So a few days later, I see an ad wanting a band to open SCoRCHeRFeST ( www.scorcherfest.com.au ) boxing day at the Rosemount, at no cost to us, and 50 tix that we can sell to our friends and family, so I entered us, and we won! So we halved the ticket price and all proceeds are going towards our recording next March. Very exciting!
Yes we are officially booked in to Bergerk! Studios next march for recording. I want to do four songs if we have time, at least two. I plan to release two double A side singles by September next year, four songs to be played on the radio by the end of the year, and then record and release an LP. All of these will be available for purchase on thedarlings.bandcamp.com which is our online music store, unfortunately empty at the moment! But hopefully full of goodies by 2012.
I love my band. I look forward to filling you in next time! :-)
