Choosing photos and letting the songs choose themselves
Tuesday, April 16 2002, 10:18 AM

Not a whole lot to report. Last night we pretty much played songs based on the order in which they came up in the pile. We’ve got lots of time before our gig in September, so we haven’t really decided what we’re going to play there. All we know for sure is that we’ll have an hour. And we don’t even know that for sure.

After we jammed for a couple of hours, we went through our compensation for the wedding gig, i.e. the photos from last month. Our photographer said she’d be happy to get one good shot per roll. But she only shot two rolls and there are a lot more than two good photos, so I think she was underestimating herself a little bit. We picked out some group shots and some individual shots, and Richard’s going to post them on the site. There was one shot that was blown up and printed out so we can have a pretty good idea of what the final press kit shot is going to look like. I don’t know if we’re going to use it though; it’s pretty shadowy. I mean, it looks great and moody, but it doesn’t seem right for us. We look like we’re standing in a dark alley and taking a quick break from handing out ass-whuppins (a word that my spell-check recognizes, by the way). We might see if we can get it lightened up a little to make us look less like a nu-metal band.

Richard’s doing some new research on stickers and t-shirts, seeing if we can employ local businesses. He’s also adding some new features to this here website that you’ll be able to enjoy soon. Jeremy’s tweaking the demo and putting together a CD of covers for us to learn, with our input. And that’s about it for now. Keep checking back for pictures on the site so you can finally find out what we look like.

We played a lot more songs we knew. Does that mean we know the new ones so well we don't need to practice?
