Down Pour, downed bridge, but no downed spirit. That was the vibe at the first night of rehearsals post Rock Den. That last phrase has new meaning now that the venue has closed its doors for good. On a night where we wanted to talk shop, the band decided to speak with their instruments.
A band jam was initiated due to the arrival of a grand spanking new guitar. DOM brought his new SQUIRE JAZZMASTER to the fold. The guitar mastered not only JAZZ, but the NEW SONGS as well. First up, a reworked version of HIGH ON A PLANE was crafted that night. This new version took it from a spacey jam to a spacey jam that pulls a fast descent to a NEW WORLD.
The song, now 9 years old, had that anniversary celebrated with some added PUNK ROCK SPICE. The song is expected to make its live debut soon, so keep your ears to the SWEATPANTS.
The next one up is SPOOKY, a song that sounds as if THE FRATELLIS and THE CURE had a love child with PUNK ROCK. A soon to be showstopper in the making.
The funky bass grooves of OH WHY held the jam together until the collective pounding of drums and riffage of JUSTIN and DOM make the chorus sounds as fiery and explosive as a band that knows what they want. WHAT DO THEY WANT?
THEY want to play a new live show. Now armed with as many songs as there are bullets in a revolver, the band will keep FIRING OUT HITS in the jams to come.
What to expect in the coming weeks?
MAYBE A LIVE THING? MAYBE A RECORDED THING? I KNOW, YOU DON’T
SO KEEP TUNING IN.
The future is looking up for FREELANCE SWEATPANTS.
