Band Practice

Well tonight "The Alliance" is having another band practice, YAY! We will probably work on the songs we have and work on some new stuff. I got a text from our Rhythm guitarist this week saying he wrote some music and we just meed to lay down some lyrics, so I'm really looking forward to it. As of right now we have 5 originals "End of time", "Sugar Shack, "I don't know", "Hot Dogs" and "Hoe fo sho". The bands personal favorites are "End of time", "Sugar Shack" and "Hoe fo sho". Hopefully tonight we will add a few more. We are hoping to fit in a trip to Daddies to pick up some more equipment, but we will see how that goes. Well I should be going.

The Alliance

Well a few weeks ago me and a few friends got together to play some music and pretty much just jam. Originally it was just for fun and we were not really planning on doing much with it. Well the night ended up being so much fun that we set another date to get together and play. Well slowly over time we realized we were having so much fun that we would keep the group and make a little band. Our working band name is "The Alliance" basically because we could not think of anything else to call ourselves. "The Alliance" consists of Aaron Dallman (rhythm guitar, harmonica and sometimes lead guitar), Jared Dallman (Lead Guitar and sometimes rhythm Guitar), Eric Stelmach (Drummer) and Myself (singer and Tambourine). Anyways on Friday night when we got together for our last jam meet we wrote a few of our own songs. For me it was my first step into writing music lyrics. I have always loved to write fiction but lyrics seemed like such a hard thing to come up with. Well, it was such a cool experience. Within I would say an hour we had written 5 songs, 3 of which are actually good (not to toot my own horn). It was such a blast and we are going to do it again for sure. Well I just noticed the time and I have to go but I will write more later.
