Welcome to My House!!!

Hey Guys!!!!!!

Hope everyone is well :))))) Thought since I havn’t even looked at this thing in ages I better do something constructive lol! Actually, truth be known, I have been feverishly writting new material for my new band. Yup, the Teddy Bear Assassins have signed me up as the new front man WOOOOOT!

So, as a consequence I havn’t stopped trying out new ideas. I may have mentioned it before, but what happens is that the boys write and record the “music” tracks in Brisbane, and then they email me the work. then I have to write the lyrics for each of the tracks and email the new songs, recorded over the music, back to the boys to listen to. If they are happy, then they mix the tracks down and we post them up on the bands myspace web page 🙂

We have finally finished three track, “Tainted”, “Counterfiet”, and “Three”. If you are interested in hearing them, you can follow the link below. The only downside is though, that they are litterally “raw” tracks, unmastered and recorded on a single take, so they are far from perfect. The good thing is that we have something to listen to, so that when I fly to Briz for the next jam session we will at least know the “structure” of the songs and how they are to be played. It’s just a matter of fine tuning each one then so we can get our ep out on the streets 🙂

On another note, two of my best friends from right here on OD are coming to stay with Ani, the kids and I early next month WOOOOT! Loran and Vanessa have become good friends with not only Ani, but all the girls back here at home, so all our friends are really looking forward to them hitting ACT soil 🙂 They are only here for four days but we have SUCH an awesome time planned for all of us while they are here. Thursday will be a show of my home town and all we have to offer, followed by a night on the town. Friday relax at home, get some shopping done for the party that night, and the consumption of MANY alcoholic beverages lol! Saturday is recoup day because that night “Sky Fire” is being held on the banks of our own lake. It is hosted by our local fm radio station every year and is a FREAKIN AWESOME NIGHT!!! Every single family/group that goes down there takes thier own sterio and pumps the soundtrack out to the simultanious fireworks and f1-11 afterburners that buzz up and down the lake. The f1-11 is the fighter jet the Australian army chooses to use, “after burning” is the proccess of dumping over ten thousand litres of aviation fuel right out the back of the jet. Naturally as you would expect, the night becomes day for a few seconds and the sound is incredible!

So, in addition to all these things, the girls are going to see how life is right here in the nations capital. Heres a pic of the girls below, “V” on the left, “L” on the right.

This weekend just gone, Ani took all the kids with her and stayed at her Dads house in Bega. Its about a three hour drive from here and it gave me a much desired few days without the turmoil of the kids. It also gave me a lot of time to record vocals on the new tracks and spring clean the house early lol! So when it was all done I took a few pics of the house to show you guys. Problem was though, that thirty minutes after they all got back home, it was back to the way it was before GRRRRRR, bane of my existance I tell ya!

Anywho!!!!! This is a lil look at our house from the inside, hope you enjoy the tour 🙂

Love you guys!

Stay well and I’ll be back soon!
