Sitting on Pauls couch, Rerecorded Advent as it turns out I can't seem to remember what key we write things in. Go me.

I have to pull all the tracks out of Reason and throw them into logic....which I keep putting off cause this song has a lot of tracks in it, but you know..whatever. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Hopefully get it worked on tonight, and then that's done.

YEAH

Long time no see.

Ive been busy with school and life, I could make up some excuse but it woudl just be a lie. THe Venetian broke up, so it goes.

The majority of the songs were assimilated into The Cancer Years, what coudl be saved was saved, what couldn't will be held onto. The Cancer Years is all up and away. We finished 3 songs in the past several weeks and are going strong to have en EP finished soon. I am pushing for us to make a 2 song ep and just give them away. No point in really charging for two songs. As it stands we have 5. which is well enough to start playing shows, now to practice and get an actual set together and get out there.


Planes is really intermittant as I am focusing so much on The Cancer years, the plus side of all this is I am a much better guitar player(much is a relative term).

So...you know. Whatever.

Presently I am stuck at work, I keep going back and forth on Planes wanting to work on it and wanting to focus more on The Cancer Years.


I am hoping to start playing Cancer Years shows then slowly work on Planes, I am in no hurry. The songs are mostly written. I'd like to find some other people to work on it. I don't want The Cancer Years to seem like the band Paul sings on and Planes to seem like the band I sing in.

OK. So the Venetian School of Painters is a go. We made buttons, I don't remember what I said in the last blog I posted but we did. Even made a
craptastic Myspace
I am going to make a website, but I want us to be ready to play shows before I launch the thing. Its in the works next month I believe.

If you are too lazy to click the link the video is at the bottom of this.

Tentatively(I wonder how many times I have written that in here) it's Sam and I doing just about everything. Gene is filling in on synths and bass, Sarah is on Violin and synths, Paul is playing guitar and alt. percussion.

It's like a full band for once. The goal is to finish 6 songs and start playing shows come August. We have two instrumentals finished, Paul and Sam are actively writing guitar parts for those two and Sarah is writing a violin part for one.

I am knee deep and finishing the third, which is going to be played...first. Its the intro or maybe the outro, depending on how it ends.

basically. we are doing a lot of work in no time. Thank god I took this term off.

My buddy Scott who runs
a record label was talking about putting out a 7" for us. I guess more on that as it develops, Sam wants it to happen, and I want it to happen so it probably WILL happen. As we are running this here...school.

Planes and The Cancer Years are both on an indefinite hiatus...cause...damnit if I wasn't sick of working on Planes, and Paul and I lost a member in The Cancer Years, so it was put on hold.

Though, one of the songs we are working on, its backburnered at the moment, but its a Planes song. That should be entertaining.

As I said up top, heres the video for the "teaser" Venetian songs.

I'm in the process of making another as I type this.

everytime I sit down to write something I lose all the words.

we started a new band, The Venetian School. We have buttons and other stuff and videos.

9 songs.

wow, haven't updated in a while, I have been busy with school and work and life.


I am going to do a for real update tomorrow.

Im super tired.

ok well, I joined Cicero, which is Pauls band, "90's Christian Emo...back when it was good" according to them. I play keys(duh) and we played our first show last night. It went pretty well, the Triton dropped out during the second song for some reason I never figured out. but we kept on and it turned out ok. The nice thing about being the new guy, no one knows your parts, you can really just play whatever you want and no one knows the difference.

Planes finished a song, it's up on the Myspace, peopel seem to like it. It finally grew on me and I can play it for people without cringing. So that is good.

working on another song, which may or may not get worked on this weekend, we haven't touched the gaze stuff in so long that it is time to get back on that.


Not really much else to report, sloww week. Links to follow:
