11/20/21 Them Confessions Are Shit

Band practice came to a screeching halt these last two weeks. We have had Covid in our ranks, so obvious reason. I cannot complain about that. We are going to record though. It's just going to be a single for the time being. Fingers crossed it turns out alright. I want it to launch the album project that is bound to follow. 

I had to reflect on the past blogs to see where things have gone. Last year at this time I was just getting back into the swing of picking up my guitar. The summer was weird, and the winter was even more weird. I made a decision to start blogging about it, and here I am. I will say this, I have a phone full of songs that are waiting to come to life. So the material is more than there. I'm still trying to motivate myself to come up with little things here and there, but its tough sometimes when you have a backlog of stuff.

In show biz, the return of the band happens on Dec 31 at Yucca Taproom in Tempe. My biggest goal is to get things going like we had them in 2016. We were on the up and up, and things were going in the right direction. Granted, we all do have some adulting to do, but  still feel this is a great opportunity to start stretching the boundaries of the band. It's like this, I am trying to retrace steps that I followed when I first started getting in to music when I was 15. The lyrical content is very much about a confused mind trying to move forward, but the feeling stagnation haunts. I believe it is an evolution of my emo days. (Those note books are lost in a former friends garage thankfully.) I'm trying to find that energy,

When it comes down to it, I think that vibe is still very relevant to how people have been feeling about so many things. It's where I am drawing from, and it is where I shall continue in the time being. These blogs help me unlock some of those ideas, and allow the writing mind to flow and create.

I hope that everyone will hear what I... well WE have created in the interim. It's different if you listened to the already released Perfect Sense stuff, but it will allow the band to evolve more I believe. The old demos show a band that is kind of stuck in a past tense. I think these next few months will be interesting. Fingers crossed.

Wish me luck.
