busted

Yo guys, watsup. So me and the guys have just been practicing some of the songs for our show this coming sunday. its not a public show, its a private party, however, we will try our best to get some vids for you guys cuz its gonna be awesome.

I'm really excited to play this show for a number of reasons. First of all, this is our first show together since the opera house show back in April. But also, we're playing one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands, Busted - Air Hostess. The band is probably my biggest inspiration right now. I know a lot of ppl knock the band, cuz they were pretty commercial and poppy and stuff, but I love them. The fact that they were realy young yet so famous really blew my mind.

So when we practiced air hostess together the other day, it was like a dream come true, cuz for so long, i've always wanted to be just like them, and even though we're not famous, or on tv or anything, we still get to perform to someone, and we hope this crowd appreciates it. Either way though, it's an honour for me to play one of their songs.


Last sunday was pretty hectic however, i had a 4 hour jam session, 2 hours with each band. We also met up with the organizer of our upcoming show. We were able to rearrange the set list into a mix of their songs, which were mostly slow acoustic balads, and our punk-pop covers and originals. So stay tuned guys, i'll give u more updates on how we get ready, plus new pics and vids comin up. !!!

Nov. 1 Setlist

Hey guys, so we have a show at Nov. 1 as you guys know. We just got updated the list of songs they want us to play. 3 lifehosue songs, 2 jason mraz songs, miley cyrus, and a justin nozuka song.

We just started rehearsing half that list, and are working the rest within the week.

Also i had a jam with my 2nd band doing covers like santana and neil young yesterday. It was really fun especially becasue all of the members are really good at their instruments.

Right now im just working on some essays i have for school. Then got a couple of essays due this wednesday that i'll split up between the next 2 days.

As for new songs, well i've got quite a list, just finished recording the instrumentals for 2 songs, and starting to track the 3rd. and then we'll go on vocals after.

And just for fun tonight if i can finish my first essay in time, im gonna record a cover and upload it, cuz i havn't uploaded much in a while.
