I'm sitting in the dinning room at this present time; the living room is just one meter away and crammed full of musicians. Today is one of the first rehearsals for the new (not yet officially named) album. Yesterday was Halloween, and already, the focus has been turned towards the candy. What's a rehearsal without sugary sustinance? Well, once my Profile Forms have been filled out, there will be more information. There really isn't much more to be told. Keep your eye on this space, which will be updated frequently regarding the progression of this album. Hopefully, I will be able to set up a new website for the album. Also, keep your eye out for websites and profiles for the other quintet members!

Yesterday was the quintet's second rehearsal! Things are coming along nicely. I have plans to continue my "making-of" documentary so as to showcase it on TV. At the moment, I'm working on getting adds and even short articles published to promote the album to the wider community. Check out the second vlog!

So! The quintet is currently in the midst of thier third rehearsal. Things are going great. Recording dates are set and plans are being made for the tour. As mentioned in Vlog #1, jokes and tunes aplenty. The photographer arrived today to take some pictures of the band, which will later be appearing scattered throughout the album cover. Together, he and I will be collaborating on the album art. Anyway,check out the third vlog and see for yourself!

Today is the quintet's last rehearsal before recording begins on Monday and continues on Wednesday! Check out our last Vlog!

Well, that's it for the Vlog series. Keep your eyes glued to this site, however, for information regarding a "Making-Of" documentary, which is being made by myself and will be for sale after it's release date. Keep your ears out, also for the relese of the new album, due around March. More information will be available about the tour as it is finalized. Thanks for joining us!

So, today, the guys are in the studio, recording furiously! There were a few stuff-ups, but when do things like this ever go smoothly? Recording will continue and hopefully conclude on Wednesday of this week. The tunes are sounding great, thanks to our techie, Mike; and of course, the quintet.

However, if Brendan doesn't give me his profile soon, the Coke Cola supply will be cut off! Also, there are to be no more bribes of organic fruit. I only accept candy bars...some of the few, rather strange conversations held in between recordings yesterday. All jokes, of course.

Although the Vlog series has ended, keep your eyes out for a trailer/teaser of the DVD which will have studio antics as well as live gig footage, interviews and a lot more!

Until Wendesday!
