A FEW WEE HAPPENINGS July 9th, 2009
Hi. Hi. What have we been up to? Well, Ray has been busking on 3rd street promenade, working out kinks in new songs. Ray and Ray just got back to the rehearsal space, now dubbed "the studio." We're also starting to mess around with more pedals and amplifiers, so if you have any recommendations let us know!

SMASHING PUMPKINS April 30th, 2009
This song has zero to do with the band Smashing Pumpkins (haha, get it? "Zero"), other than it kind of reminds us of them. Not sure if that's good or bad. Have a listen:
And any suggestions on a new song title let us know.
Oh, and if you have lyrics pass those along too. Ray hasn't been on top of his music words as of late.

PHOTO DIARY April 25th, 2009
Well, kind of. Actually it's just:
 |
a) ray's musicman amp that recently got fixed. although it kind of sounds the same. | |
 |
b) raymod adding wheels to our HEAVY 4x12 cabinet so we're certifiably gig-ready. | |
 |
c) solid state amp head that recently broke. be that way. exactly. | |
 |
d) #2 guitar tuned down to D. and raymod's road case which is actually intended for holding golf clubs. |

SETLIST SO FAR April 19th, 2009
We're still powering through rehearsals working on our set...looks something like this:
1. negativity will take you to that place where all the lost souls go
2. save our souls
3. not dead
4. whatever (tentative title)
5. dirty dogs
6. endless loop
7. animal
8. smashing pumpkins (tentative title)
"Negativity..." used to be called "Two Parts." We still need to rework Endless Loop and Animal...maybe those won't make the cut and we'll slot some new tunes in. More vids and audio coming soon! Also check out our daily musings on Twitter.
