sounds like life had a jam session this week ... the first in about a month or so. while it's not great that it's been a month, the past few months dylan and i have done a much better job about getting together and playing.
this week was especially fun and exciting for several different reasons. we added two new members to our band! terry & kaymen. dylan and i had played with terry in college, while he was still in high school. he played drums for the worship team for about a year and then had to quit to focus on school and college. dylan and i have spent much time wishing that terry could join up with us again ... and as it turns out, he has moved back to tulsa now that he has graduated college, and he's ready to rock. kaymen is a friend of dylan's {and a new friend of mine}. he has actually played a gig with us when our former drummer james was unable to play with us. he's joining us on the bass. the two guys are both incredibly talented individuals and are able to follow so well! the first week was a little touch and go as we had to teach each other new songs, but it was still a lot of fun. the other fun piece was dylan's new song. he's been a little uninspired for a while and hasn't written much new music. i really like this new song and think it's one of his best so far.
the four of us have committed to practicing at least once every other week. our ep is close to being finished, and once the four of us {and possibly an electric guitarist} mesh with one another, we'll begin looking for gigs again and really getting out there to start playing. the sound of our music is changing a little bit, and that's exciting, too. it will be interesting to see how it all turns out. if you're interested in hearing any of our music right now, you can visit us at http://sll.dylanallen.net/.
