Well, I’m completely new to this whole blogging malarkey, but I’m going to give it a go!
I’m Toby, the bass provider from Live Noise, and I don’t claim to speak for the whole band, and I don’t expect I’ll be the only one to post on here, now that I’ve got the ball rolling – at least I hope I’m not!
We, Live Noise, have been a bit quiet, publicly, of late, mainly due to bad organisation on our own part. A couple of nights ago we performed at the Candle Club open mic night, which is where we first played publicly together as Live Noise, and the audience there has always been very appreciative. If you’re a performer of any kind (usually solo, but there have been more than that), and you’re looking for a chance to try out your stuff on an audience, it’s a great place to go – it’s not just musicians either, as they have poets and stand-up comics too. It happens every Monday, and is usually compered by the brilliant Johnny Jet . If you want to know more, have a look at www.candleclub.co.uk. On the first Sunday of every month they have a showcase of the best of the previous month’s acts, and we’ve been invited to take part (3rd time for us, I think) on Sunday April 1st. Come along if you can!
In the slightly longer term, we’re trying to find a time when the band can come together to do a day’s recording session, in a garage kindly provided by a good friend of ours, as we’d like to have some better quality recordings than the ones you can currently hear on our page.
I’d just like to sign off by directing people to the page of http://www.myspace.com/mylostoriginLost Origin – Rupert’s brother-in-law is their lead guitarist, and he and I were lucky enough to be at their first ever gig a few weeks ago, which was a real cracker! They’ve got through to the Top 30 acts of the O2 undiscovered competition, so please vote for them by following the link from their page.
That’s all from me for now.
Let me know your comments – should I or the rest of the band continue the blog? Or should we shut up and leave it to someone who’s better at it?
Cheers,
Tobs
