Hair, Wear and Vanity Fair
Working on a band image. Tight T-shirts in black and dark trousers with a gleaming belt. As we all have weedy little arms, we've gone for the long-sleeved. To picture Dave with a new hair-style, we used the faithful Photoshop to bodge one on from the Internet (see picture). Cool dude.
The deadline to finish the songs and have them up on the net is approaching us like a piano dropped from the tenth floor. 7am starts (actually just one) and working through the nights, we may just do it.
Thinking about means of advertising. Having our band plastered on plectrums, pens, diaries, mp3 players, balloons, Frisbees, T-shirts, bottle openers, beermats and even condoms. Need to get the bass drum skin done, too.
Finally finished mixing and mastering our first tune Tracks, which has been stewing through Cubase for over a year. It's changed more times than Muhammed Ali's radio station. Kieran from fellow band Stone Soul has come in for an evening to play about with some ideas for Gypo Jack, the second of three songs we need to finish by tomorrow. I wonder if I can get hold of Bernard's watch on eBay...
