A new band practices

Panorama

As mentioned in the previous update, there’s a new band afoot!  After a couple of practices, several sandwiches, and a few extraneous bagels, we’ve got some fly-on-the-wall recordings of a few covers.  No band name yet, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be Grill Brush.

Bill Withers – Use Me

Men at Work – Catch a Star

Steely Dan – Home at Last

As always, our real thanks goes out to those forced to listen to us work out harmonies and Purdie shuffles.  Thanks, Julie!

More to come…

Writing and recording music inspired by very high places in other countries and the people who live there

Despite prolonged blog silence, things are happening in the world of Small Glowing Pig!  First, a new challenge is completed.  I played the ukulele and programmed drums, while Steve played the acoustic guitar and programmed the bass.  Be both “sang.”  Was it written and recorded strictly in two hours?  You be the judge!  Also, no, it wasn’t.  Also, read this for information on the inspiration.

Next, a new band has been formed and has begun working towards a live performance or two by the end of the summer.  No name yet, but we’re looking to cover a pretty eclectic mix that so far includes Stevie Wonder, Beck, Steely Dan, Cake, and Men at Work.

Hopefully we’ll have some practice recordings in the next few weeks and a name to go with them.  Until then, enjoy the challenge rok!
