We played a Battle of the Band last night, with Dexters Fish and Carpathian Breed and some other malarkey. We got a lot of "it's good, but it's not my thing". I have resigned myself to the fact that Sadako is probably only ever gonna be liked by Sadako. It's got too many clean jazzy bits for hardcore and metal kids to like it, and too much noisey screamy stuff for jazz fans to like it. Oh well.
Oz came up to me after our set on Friday and said "I haven't been that confused by a live band since the first time I saw Dillinger Escape Plan live". I'm taking that as a compliment. Ah well, Chris Carter likes us! We want another guitarist, but it's proving kinda hard, because there aren't that many people out there who can play well enough to do what we do (I sure as fuck couldn't! I struggle so much with the bass - I have the constantly peeling red fingers to prove it!) and who'll actually LIKE it. We have a prospective guitarist, but he's a Death Metal fan mainly, so I dunno if we'll float his aural boat or not. Probably not.
Fuck it, this band was never about having loads of people like us. It's mostly just about being foooooooooking weird and having a laugh.
I can actually talk a bit today.
