The band that I sing for, Game On, has existed in the form it is currently in since January 27th of this year. I went and pretty much just hung out with friends, worked on a song or two, and it was decided that I would take up vocals for them. At the time of my joining, I think three or four songs were in the works, none of which were entirely complete. We jammed in Mark's basement for two months or so before recording a five song EP entitled Apologies In Advance.Shortly thereafter, we began to play shows, intermittently at first, but fairly regularly within a few months. Two months after the first recording, we hit the studio again to record another four song EP, this one much stronger, better recorded, and showcasing a more solid musical identity. We have since shared the stage with a good number of bands that is constantly growing. We plan on recording our first full length album starting on Nov 19th--ten original songs, including one with a few guests--and releasing it in early January. We have three shows remaining before our recording break of a month and a half. In fact, at the moment, we don't have another show scheduled until Nov 1st, which makes me restless. I hate waiting that long to play again! But, the show is with The Voodoo Glow Skulls, so that helps :)
On another note, my good friend Bobby returned from his mission a few short days ago and we plan on restarting our old project, Hillblocks View, in which I play guitar and sing. I'll update that as it develops.
Since I'm way behind, here are a few photos of me and the mates of Game On from past shows.
With this blog I will start writing about each show we play, the bands we play with, what we're doing as far as writing, recording, pressing merch, etc, as well as the occasional CD or book review. Anyway. Thanks for reading and check back often for updates.
