Skitty finally got exalted with Shatterd Sun Offensive. To celebrate this happy happening I bought an epic shield & neckpiece from them. Also I bought an epic dps chest from the auction house.

By chance I remembered I still had points on my wow trading card account. I was hoping for the ogre trinket, but that thing is so darn expensive im not going to waste my money on it. Instead I decided to buy a fancy new tabard. I remembered they had a nice bright blue one, but to my surprise they added new ones. One of them being bright Purple. Its so awesome I had to buy it.

We got together again this Sunday. Tom had to do some work on his appartment, so he didn’t join us until the evening. Jelle and I got jamming again and came up with a few riffs. For now on defined as;

- Ska groove (offbeats)
- Groove riff (with the slide)
- Bass Rhythm riff with no fancy name
- Ghost haunting thingy

Tom joined us in the evening and we came up with rhythm patterns for the ska groove and groove riff.
4 riffs in 1 day: <no named band> is on a speeding train and someone stole our brakes :p.

That was yesterday, Today I had my bass lessons. Because the ska groove had a Slap thing to it I asked my teacher to teach me some slap grooves. And its very good. I got the idea pretty quick, I just need to practice this more. But the ska groove sounds very good with slapping.

Last Sunday we had the first real bandmeeting. Real in the sense of that this time we knew each other a little better, we discussed real band things and finally did some jamming.
Meeting the band was great, after some talking we agreed that Toxicity (the song we settled on would be our first practice song) was not working for us instrument and mostly tuning wise.

The evening started off with Jelle and me jamming a bit over some blues riffs. I’m finding it hard to come up with some interesting bass lines on the spot. Tom joined us later because he forgot the meeting -.- do’h!
After he showed us some of his metal guitar playing we discussed some band things, like what kind of music we want to play and how cool it is we get along (something that keeps coming up in our conversations) :p We decided to tune to drop D and practice Stinkfist by Tool and work on along the watchowers if we got spare time.

My apartment has been promoted to offical <no named band>’s practice area. Now comes equiped with a keyboard and will be later joined with a extra amp.
We closed the evening with Tom and Jelle both playing a riff which could very well end-up in an awesome song. I just need to come up with a bassline to rock on ! \m/

Next bandmeeting/ practice day is sunday 24 august.

Our current bandmembers are:
Jelle - Lead guitar (blues), vocals
Tom - Rythm guitar (metal)
Jess - Bass (rock/indy), vocals
!! we need drummer !!

Jess out.

Logbook notes:

Need to work on:
- Scales for bassline construction.
- Organised vocal practice.
- Pick up danish again.

*note of thought, going to write my name as Jess for now to prevent confusion with Jelle’s name. (And it refers to jazz music, which makes it artistic and hip. I’m cool :p
