Yay! Off and running again!

We're going to try and practice every week so we can be ready for that paid gig in April. It's been too long since we all got to play together so this week was running back through stuff we already know, trying to get back into our groove.

We had the small practice room and it's only got an electric drumset and i really don't like the way it sounds.
We usualy get to practice in the big room with the stage and the real kit.
Between the room, the different amps and the fact that two of us were still getting over being sick and two of the guys have relationship stuff on their minds the whole thing felt 'off' to me.

I recorded it on a Zoom H2 I borrowed from work, ended up with 8 songs. And at least i can let the drummer hear why i said i couldnt hear him right :-) I need to learn the setting on the Zoom before i use it again though, i know it can make a much better recording then i got, but since we dont run everything through the PA at practices i cant just run an output from the board to the Zoom either.

We did pick two new songs to work on at home and try to be ready to play at practice so at least we're moving forward again :-)
