Update.
Life is pretty swell at the moment. Not sleeping much still, but nothing like what was going on a couple of entries a go..it's more out of a necessity to get things done. Ridiculously busy at the moment, can tell someone where I'll be pretty much every day for the next 3-4 weeks as I've got something constantly going on, and in keeping with my self-imposed insanity, will soon be heaping more into my life.
Sam (housemate and guitarist) and I have often talked about buying a house together, or doing something to set ourselves up a little more in life. Over the last couple of weeks we've started talking in earnest about starting our own business with some practice rooms for bands and it's starting to look really positive. Like, looking for factories to put the business in kind of positive. We've managed to get some "investors" interested in putting up about $50,000 in funding for the project and are sourcing materials/factories on almost a daily agenda.
Defamer is heading to Melbourne in three weeks which is going to be amazing. Have been wanting to play to my home crowd for years now, and this is a great time to be doing it. We've written some new songs lately that are insanely evil, can't wait to play them live. Also have two HUGE shows to announce soon, which have got us really excited.
Really getting excited about going to Japan, especially as it looks like I can hook us up wit a show whilst over there seeming as 4/5 of Defamer will be there. Reading up a lot lately on etiquette which is making me laugh/quiver.
Shellfin launch two weeks ago was huuuuuge. One of the biggest nights we've had at Rosies in a long time and we sold a fuckton of merch. A rock writer for one of the street presses told me in confidence that he thinks its one of the best rock releases Brisbane has seen in a decade, which is a pretty big call, but great for the ego all the same. We'll be sold out of the CD very soon which is fantastic, time to start focusing on a full length album.
Women status is back to where I usually am when not in a full time relationship. Would like to make more time for those delectable creatures, but it takes more time than I've got. As usual theres confusion from the ladies as to why my silly metal pursuits are in the way, and no amount of explaining will get the message through, but the dream survives that one day I can have both...although that fire is dying to a rather cynical (almost depressing) flicker.
