Back at First Avenue to see September in with our 6th rehearsal.
It was a couple of runs through the 11 song set. All Day and All of the Night has shapen up and All Night Long is just about there, too. The only thing with that one is the chord changes during the instrumental break need pinning down.
Dirty Water received the briefest of runs out - maybe we'll persist with that.
Pete and me started kicking round with a few chords. Dean came up with an interesting beat, Tristan added some wah-wah licks and a fuzz-tone riff and ad-libbed some words on top. Our first genuine tune of our own took some shape! I've got some words and structural ideas for next time and am pretty confident that it'll be formed a week Saturday when we rehearse next. Provisional title of "Stick or Twist".
I agreed with Dean that we played best about a half hour in once we'd warmed up!
From a tech point of view, I took along my Zoom RFX 1000 delay rack. I've lost the adapter for it. Alas, Tristan's adapter didn't fit, so that's on hold til the adapter from ebay arrives. Continuing the tech-y vibe, Tristan brought some kit along to record the session. Like me, he has a Zoom MRS-4 track recorder. He managed to record 40 tracks in all with better results than I managed as he had some other kit there. Will find out for next time what that was!
As promised, here's a song from the session
