February is upon us and the songwriting is going well. We had the basics jammed out a month or two ago but it's the fine tuning and adding extra twists that takes the time. We have been working on three new ideas in the last month. All with working titles 'Chunky' , 'Math' & 'Rancho Relaxo'.
'Rancho' seemed the hardest to fix together. After jamming for nearly an hour and coming up with what seemed like a whole new song (or could have been a Fugazi cast off) we decided the best part, which had some guitar harmonics was worth keeping. We ended up writing a new intro and adding both bits forcefully to Rancho and forging a whole new song. The new tunes are sounding pretty damn good at the mo. Dave's been adding some words to a few of them as we go along. There's certainly an abstract World War II theme going on.
We want to get these songs right before we gig them. I think we have improved as a band because of the hard work we have put in. Gaz has some fuckin A drum parts, i don't know what he's been doing but he wants to keep it up!
We'll prob post a rehearsal recording when we a re a bit more ahppy with what we are doing to give you an idea of the kind of direction we've taken.
Cheers!
