It Lives!

It's been a busy time. Static Factory is attempting some basement recordings of our many originals (we have about 14 songs). Right now we are trying to iron out Guy's bass drum sound for the basic tracks and we will then layer our parts over his drums.

We aren't playing to a click track, so we will see how good it works in the end.

The Ugly Americans have solidified some set lists and we are going to try and set aside some weekends for focused cover practice. Hopefully we can get things up to speed. I feel fairly confident myself.

We played at an open mic in flushing at a place called Little Clifton's Corner. It has a nice stage and our sound seemed pretty good. The video is hit and miss however.

I did finally start a YouTube channel for Static Factory. Hopefully people dig our stuff.

Been a Long Time

I've been busy of late, but the music plods on. I'm learning Wherever I May Roam by Metallica, Little Sister by the Elvis, and working on most of Sweet Child O Mine by GNR. Shesmovedon is okay, and I'm also relearning the Radiohead song Exit Music (for a film).

That's okay. Originals-wise, Static Factory is doing what we do, plodding along and writing a new song every few weeks. We've got about 12 now. Lazarus (Pits) is finally where I want it.

We've been trying to record but my cohorts are all human, and this is slowing us down. We will persevere.
