What the world needs NOW IS ANOTHER METAL BAND. Is that what CRACKER sang about in the 90’s? Nah they railed against FOLK SINGERS. That’s what DOM said during the middle of a lengthy and PRODUCTIVE JAM. FREELANCE, are finding their GROOVE AGAIN. Kicking off their FIRST BAND PRACTICE SINCE OCTOBER, they had no PROBLEM PUTTING THE SWEATPANTS BACK ON! The band WAS TIGHT MUSICALLY. Having sounded as though THEY NEVER LEFT THE PRACTICE FACILITY since the last time they hung out.
They just GOT RIGHT INTO IT. Kicking things off with a BLUESY JAM from AJ, the band found their GROOVE WITHIN SECONDS. While the band has sung about COUCHES before, they thought they would try from the PERSPECTIVE OF SOMEONE LYING ON THE FLOOR. The song is going to be a CLASSIC when debuted LIVE. The song is a refreshing change of pace, with great DRUM FILLS from JUSTIN. SEAN seems to have the INTROSPECTIVE LYRICS LOCKED DOWN.
Oh, and the band got to have some fun as well! SOME GUITAR HEROICS from DOM shined through on a SURF ROCK JAM. MISER WHO? DICK DALE may have some competition when going up against DOM. Yeah, we KNOW HE’S DEAD, BUT WHATEVER!
The band then got CREATIVE WITH THE COVERS! A few ACDC songs were there to set the YEULTIDE MOOD. “IF YOU WANT BLOOD (YOU GOT IT)” was jammed as was “HIGHWAY TO HELL” AND “WALK ALL OVER YOU”. If no one stopped them, they would have played the HIGHWAY TO HELL ALBUM in ITS ENTIRETY. Alas, ACDC would just be the warmup. The main songs covered were a few 90’s gems.
“HEY JEALOUSY”, the band’s first crack at a cover tune was done as a three piece with SEAN SHREDDING on guitar. The band then kicked off a tune that could make its live debut at a show to be announced soon. TOADIES “POSSUM KINGDOM”, a song dating back to DOM’S EARLY DAYS IN BANDS, will likely make a reprise with FREELANCE SWEATPANTS. There also was the DEVO song that we covered, but I KNOW, YOU DON’T, WHICH ONE THEY PLAYED.
What is this all for you ask? The new songs, the cover songs? WELL, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS is CURRENTLY TAPPED TO PLAY THE RUSTY NAIL ON DECEMBER 21ST!
