Quick update on Saturday, seeing as I let the 4th one pass by.
First 3 hour rehearsal for The False Poets on Saturday - £34.50 with the kit hire from First Avenue.
Tristan drew up a set of 11 songs that we do best: Can't remember off the top of me head what it is! Starts with You're Gonna Miss Me, ends with Hey Joe then I Can Only Give You Everything. We basically played the set at the start and end of the session with some bits and pieces in between.
First attempts at Going All The Way by The Squires, You Ain't No Find Of Mine, a few bars of Can't Explain and a few runs through of All Night Long. Also, a largely instrumental go at It's My Life and a fun romp through Territorial Pissings that Tristan sang very well! (Although he missed out the 'Never met a wiseman...' verse).
I took my A mouth organ along and had a parp on the Elevators' track. It sounded passable, so it looks like that'll be in. A new one's needed for 1-2-5, so I'll be looking into that.
Sounding better over all. Having a proper bass amp to use helps and the vocals were both at the best levels yet. Some of the songs we play too fast still.
No recordings this time, but hopefully at the next one there'll be some to stuff to possibly share from 1st September.
Broken String Count: 3 - all Tristan's.
