So last night was the debut of my noise band, Night Mare Drum Song.
Former members of Hawnay Troof and Klacto are part of our numbers.
We have about six chanting/drumming songs, and we have only precussion based instruments right now, no strings (though I kind of miss them.)
No one in Honolulu had apparently seen a MicroKorg before, because at least ten people were found playing on the synth during the night ;)
But all in all, it was an excellent show! People said their minds were blown, which always makes me happy.
In addition, we had a huge turn out because of Kim (our second keyboardist)'s fashion show. Her stuff is beautiful, all hand sewn with no machines. Every piece is pretty incredible. I had the not so glamorous job of undressing the models, which even though it comes with free drinks, is not nearly as c00l as it sounds. Me being the insecure bastard that I am, it freaked me right out ;) I mean, how much perfection can one be in a room with? But seriously, I was wearing the yellow dress from Wasteland, and everyone told me they thought I was modelling, so I felt slightly better. The show itself was highly amusing, with an art-space style runway, Big Lebowski showing in the background, and 'This is Our Invite' by Hawnay Troof blaring in the background (TWICE, due to a DJ fuck up.)
Today, recovering from all the excitement I watched 'The Butcher Boy,' which I highly reccomend if none of you have seen it. Despite my 'vacation' I am now in the lab working, which is kind of neat because I am alone and can play my music loudly ;)
Miss you all!
Shoots,
