Can you believe it’s been ONE YEAR of FREELANCE SWEATPANTS at this point? Formed from the EMBERS of a dying house party FIRE, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS rose from the ASHES to put forth unto this world some ALTERNATIVE ROCK AND ROLL. The band members, JUSTIN, SEAN, AJ, and DOM have shown tremendous GROWTH in their PLAYING and SONGWRITING abilities since they formed ONE YEAR ago TODAY!
Since then, they have logged over 41 HOURS, 36 MINUTES, AND 24 SECONDS of practice time during our WEDNESDAY SOCIAL jams. Yes, WE do LOG everything. Down to the SECOND, because if we don’t, WILL YOU? That’s what I thought!
These practices have culminated in two LIVE APPEARANCES, at the ROCK DEN and JUSTIN’S BACKYARD. They have also led to the development of a YOUTUBE channel, a MANIC BLOG, an INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT and much more.
None of this would be possible without the DEDICATION and COMMITMENT from the band. This is the type of COMMITMENT that gets you COMMITTED for believing in the band THIS MUCH. Yet here we are A YEAR INTO IT, with MORE TO COME.
How much more? WELL, we have an EP in the FINAL STAGES OF MIXING. More LIVE DATES, and some cool cover songs coming your way!
IN addition to jamming on HIGH ON A PLANE (with a new, EXCITING ENDING) and OH WHY this WEEK, some covers were played. WHAT COVERS? Well, that’s where the FREELANCE part of our name comes in.
We may be ALTERNATIVE ROCK, but our influences are WIDE RANGING. Everything from NIRVANA’S “LOVE BUZZ” to badass composer ENNIO MORRICONE’S main theme to “THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY” were given the FREELANCE SWEATPANTS treatment. Maybe, just maybe there will be some JEFFERSON STARSHIP in the future as well.
So, here’s to YEAR TWO of FREELANCE SWEATPANTS, may it bring more GIGS, RECORDED MUSIC, BRIGHTLY COLORED INSTRUMENTS, BLOGS, and SWEATPANTS our way.
