Hey guys, I'm finally done with school so now i'm back to workin on this band like a full time job. I missed you guys, it's been a while, like 3 weeks since our last show which sucks. We're still working on new material, but havn't had a chance to get together.
This weekend though, I'm gonna be getting together with the band to get our goals back on check and see what we can do with the new songs we all wrote individually.
We're actually working on some designs right now for our logo so that we can update our myspace layout and also Im' planning to put some attention into merchandise, which we plan to have ready by June.
I'll talk to you guys next time about some of the inspiration for the new songs so stay tuned.

Apr. 15 update
Hey everyone, so I'm just updating you guys again on the status of Satnavania.
We had a great show last Friday at El Mocambo, playing bands like Supertest, Cold Coast, and Ruckus. We wished we could've stayed longer to see the other bands but unfortunately, we were on a tight schedule with rides and stuff.
But we played a new song in our set, Uh-oh, which me and Saadi wrote. A lot of ppl have been asking about who its dedicated to, and well, to be honest, its not just one girl, at least for me personally, wen i wrote the 2nd verse, there were like 4 different girls, and the song is basically just about having a crush on a girl, and not acting on it, and just waiting until its too late and she suddenly leaves.
Writing the song was really fun cuz it just came so easily, when Saadi told me what he was going for, right away i was like "oh shit, i know wat ur talking about" cuz it happened to me haha. lots of times in high school, I wasn't very bright, and u know, i was rlly good lookin haha but just never had the confidence or self-esteem, and totally blew a lot of chances, and so this song for me was to all those chances i missed out on.
One of the best parts about being in a band and writing music is that you can make it as personal as you want, but you can also write about fantasies and anything that goes on in your head. I was thinking of actually re-writing the verse, and i made somethign else thats a little dirtier haha but i'm rlly torn i think i mite stick with the original verse cuz its more real and close to the heart.
As for the band, we've decided to focus on our EP now, we wanna at least record some demos before our big show in June at the Sound Academy in Toronto. It's gonna be an awesome show cuz not only are we gonna be playing but all the best local bands in Toronto that have won in Supernova shows are gonna be playing with us.
We just wanna see you guys cuz itll really give us confidence and it'l be more fun of course, i love being able to sing and see you guys smiling back at me haha. We also did a little photoshoot, If you guys check out the pics on our facebook page. i got a really crappy haircut the day before so im not so proud of my appearance. Hopefully it'll grow out and i can redo the haircut that i wanted to get.
Anyways, i'm gona go back to workin on writing new songs about my past and future fantasies, and you guys just keep checking up on us, post on our facebook page and my twitter and just remind me that you guys actually care about our music!
keep on rockin

Hey guys, so its April now. Schools' almost done so I'm doing a lot of planning to make the best out of this summer for the band. We just wrote a new song and so we now have 3 originals for our upcoming setlist.
As you all know, we have gig this Friday, April 9th at the El Mocambo in Toronto. I'm really excited to play and have a great time with the crowd. Hopefully this summer we can start to pick up the band and move on up
Right now, our first plan is to get the demos done. We're still working on some new tracks that we wanna include. What we plan to do is just record the drums first at the rehearsal studio, and then add everything else at home individually. It should come out pretty great because we've got some good equipment already.
Also, next on our list is a photoshoot. We've got a photographer lined up for our next jam on Wednesday, but we're also planning a shoot out in Toronto sometime when the weather's nice to update our myspace layout, and to use as a promotional tool :p haha.
But right now we're just focused on doing this show and writing songs, If you guys want tickets let me know, and be sure to check out our youtube blog. Pz!
