Recording and performing

Our second recording session at Music For Good didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked it to. While recording my vocals for "Crowded", I kept going flat on the last line of the chorus. It was really frustrating to hear myself on playback, as there was really no excuse for it, considering how my voice was in good shape that night. Noticing Vivian grimace whenever that note came on was a bummer too. Well at least I know that sustaining long notes is one of my vocal weaknesses now.

It's amazing how I let my nerves get to me when I'm all alone with a microphone in a recording studio, but have no problems with singing to huge crowds. Thankfully, recording "If It Wasn't For You" went relatively smoothly. Now that all our individual parts have been recorded, Nick will work on both songs, which should be done in a couple of weeks or so. We will be posting them up on MySpace then, so watch this space for updates!

In the meantime, here are photos of our performance at The Big Birthday Rock Show on Monday night. On the whole, it was a great gig that saw many people braving a drizzle to watch us play! Feedback for the two new songs that we debuted was also generally positive, which makes us all the more excited to perform them at Timbre later this month!
