Saw this post a few days ago, was gonna sign up when I had time to to say thanks for the comments, though I suppose now the lovely Luke has given me added incentive to sign up...
So yeah, thanks everyone, we really enjoyed the gig (apart from not being able to hear anything on stage, typical Retro Bar!), and was nice to see Gaz and Rob (and Sparky!) there
We are obviously still developing our sound, so there's plenty of faults to iron out, but I still consider it a work in progress
But to answer Luke's insinuations, we played 5 songs, and only 2 of them have I ever played before!
Cut Through The Dark we wrote at our 1st practice.
Innerdemonic was a riff of mine never attached to a song, which Sonja wrote lyrics for.
And Nowhere Fast was one of Sonja's songs we totally changed and made our own.
Yes we played Smother and Deity, but in my opinion if a song is good why the hell would you throw it away?!
So sorry Luke, think you'll find that it was 40% "Sanity Lost songs", which is half what you said...
(Btw everyone, Luke is only on here coz we banned him from our forum, obviously thinks you guys like him
)
And we are still writing new songs (wrote a new one at practice today, and have another new one nearly finished), though we will still be playing songs of mine if we want to.
We will be playing a new version of Flames at the next gig, but that was coz Sonja wanted to play that, I actually didn't!
But the new version is immense, so very glad we are doing!
I'm sure we'll play other's of my songs, but they will always be new versions, so that gets rid of the old vs new argument
But anyway, thanks for coming to the gig!
If I can make it I will def be at your next one, though it IS on my birthday so we'll see...
But I will continue to support you, mainly coz Gaz and Rob are friends and I always support friend's bands, but also coz you guys show a lot of potential, looking forward to seeing what developes
