Across The Universe

Apologies for the vagueness of my last blog post.

These couple of weeks, infact this month, has been amazing. I've been everywhere.

~College in general is excellent - playing guitar; playing Beatles songs and learning about the band themselves; learning all we need to know about being a session musician; making songs using only a midi keyboard; learning how to read and write music. At the moment it doesnt seem to be too demanding which thankfully leaves me time to do other things.

~ I went with my big sister Jennifer to Manchester the other weekend so that she could audition for the "Move like Michael Jackson" dance competition, due to be aired on tv next year. Unfortunately she didn't get through, but she thought "sack it" and we went around Manchester and enjoyed ourselves. Saw the sights, took some photos, and had the best burger i've ever had in my life!!!! At a dingy looking restaurant run by a 'not so enthusiastic' foreign family. Will definately be stopping there again if i go back to Manchester. Unfortunately didnt stop in Liverpool and do the Beatles tour. Gutted... didnt have time...

~Recently our band 'Eat Dr. Ape' has encountered a major stepping stone in its path to success:
Our last few gigs in Glasgow have went really well and have led to two managerial interests;
We have been gigging consistenly now, to the extent that we have been and will be, playing at least one gig every week, up until Christmas. The next gig being this Saturday at the Twa Tams for Halloween :D

Last Thursday we were invited to play live on Stirling Uni Radio - "Air 3", which was absolutely amazing! We got to be interviewed, request songs and play three of our own songs acoustically. John played the Djemby haha :) and during Yellow Brick Road the clock fell off the wall and hit one of the cameramen on the head! Ahhh, the laughs we shared... well... we laughed. Almost forgot the words after that haha

We have one the first round of the songwriting competition we heard about through college and entered through college. All we need now its to be one of the seven bands/individuals picked to play in London on the 26th of November! So fingers crossed...

Oh, I finally have lyrics to our new song "Irony" which we will play on Halloween. Will be the first ever performance of the song so dont miss out! :P
Ice factory afterwards. Cider. Jager bombs. Tequila. Steamin. Kebab. Spew. Good night sleep. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! x
