False Poets

I've hardly used this blog, but it's still here, so might as well update on what's happening with the band I'm now in.

Third rehearsal for False Poets yesterday. Sadly, Tristan couldn't make it due to family commitments, but there's another arranged for next week. Yesterday was all about keeping up to speed.

Had a run through the 9 songs we do already:
You're Gonna Miss Me, 1-2-5 (pretty shoddy without the other guitar), Primitive, Action Woman, Pretty Big Mouth, I'm Not Like Everybody Else, I'm gonna Make You Mine, Hey Joe, Little Black Egg.

We spent a bit of time on It's My Life, had 2 or 3 goes at All Day and All of the Night - a couple of cracks at I Can Only Give You Everything - didn't sound too bad, that one! Pete mentioned Gloria so we had a go at that up to about halfway through it. We also had a few goes at I Ain't No Miracle Worker, so there's 14 songs getting into reasonable shape.

We missed Tristan, but he'll be back next week and I'm looking forward to that already.

The three of us had a go at Teen Spirit for old times' sake. I still don't get anywhere close to singing that chorus, so I'll give up on that now. Also had a fun impromptu stab at Running Free, tho that'll not be going into The False Poets set-up.

So, 3 rehearsals in, I think we sound alright and could entertain a few people already. It'll make a big difference when Pete uses a better bass amp.
