Uprising.
As soon as the thought of what I should name my current and first ever post on my wordpress blog. The song ‘Uprising’ from the band ‘Muse’ came onto itunes from shuffle and I thought that would be a pretty cool title and since its a cool song (actually its kinda boring except for the ‘so come on’ and solo near the end. Sad thing is that I can say that there more recent stuff is more boring then there past records. But I do love Muse, its just some songs dont appeal to me in certain moods). Since Iv cleared up the title ordeal, I better start getting bloging I guess.
Nothing much new in my life lately, well no, not really at all. I dont have to lie and have small talk here since its my blog, I own this shit. Where to start in whats new with my life.. Lets start with the whole bad news, good news thing. I have got kicked out of school untill next term which is real fucking bad but still good since I dont have to go to school (lazy, yes I know, but I hate that place). But what Im thinking is what if they dont actually let me back in, I mean they have already givin me like a 25357821 second chances, that I have just abused. Plus its not like I can afford to be kicked out, in year 11. Im fucked if they do and I dont just mean right now, since society apparently needs you to have an education, preferably one as a year twelve graduate. And what will I do if they kick me out? Go to uni to study graphic design, obviously. But could I make a living from being a graphic designer? Am I good enough to make a full time job out of it? Could I even get into uni? These are some of the questions that eat me up when I start to think about my life, luckily I never have enough time for that. Im usually probably just designing, on facebook, myspace or watching tv. I guess all I can do at the moment is get on karma’s good side, build up shiffted design to the highest point I can and wish like hell! Everythings always works out for me somehow but, thats what can put a fake ensuring smile on my face. Not as if anyone is going to see it anyways..
I think its about time for some good news in my recent life right about now but. Its probably the best news I could possibly have. That is my new band starting up and heading in a good direction. First off Il tell you a bit about us. Were Calabria’s Fall (we were going to be called flying dutchman until we realized how stupid and gay that is). The band features me on vocals, Bradley (yes the Bradley that I said I would never play with again let alone ever step on stage again with), Daniel on bass and Ben Masters on drums. As you can see the band features members from my old but first ever band DeathWish (S.T.D aswell, and even slaughtertorall, that is if you know me), originally the band was just going to be a reformation of Surrender The Dead (since we had split up sometime in 2009 due to a number of fights between me and Brad and members picking sides, but we have put all that shit behind us recently since becoming friends again and getting urges to get back on stage, its mostly all thanks to our metal guru and good freind Lewis). So yes when we first started jamming together again we had our previous drummer Rueben from S.T.D, we had jammed say about two times (in a two week period..) until we got signs that Rueben wasnt so interested in our passion and also that he had a brocken ankle, which would be a cockblock to us jamming. But soon prior to that I had heard that he had contacted another local band being interested in playing drums for them, since they had being out of action for quite awhile. So me and Bradley got talking and decided that we were sick of Ruebens prog-metal/funk drumming style and ability to distract (ohhh and we were also offended that he would go and join a band that had previously accused us of stealing there riffs (like we ever would) and also not tell us). So yet again for us three the search for a new drummer had begun, but for some reason like every other search, it was very short lived. It took me awhile to think about it but I was soon stuck on making sure we had a jam with a kid called Ben Masters. That I had previously met when we were searching for a drummer for short lived band slaughtertorall, he went to school with Daniel, thats how we knew him. So eventually me and Bradley got around to his house (which I must add is a tricked out studio, one of the best in Darwin, with a number of instruments, all owned by his parents). We got jammin and loved what we heard, so Ben was the newest drummer added to the list. In the coming weeks Daniel joined in to and we got writing some songs, that are actually thought out this time. Our first gig (with only two songs) was on Saturday with a interstate band called Five Star Prison Cell, they were fucking amazing! I mean amazing! And we obviously couldnt and wouldnt turn down a gig with a interstate band (I mean a band that knows where Darwin is, is a band that you must play with!). Friday is the next gig (hopefully with three songs) for our good mates Hate For Fate’s CD launch, were also playing with Zed Major and Cains Plague, which also have mates of ours in. Im so happy to be soaking wet in my own sweat and screaming with everything Iv got with my friends again!
As for other new news is… nothing really, I started up my blog, got my notifications working on facebook again, got hurt by some slut that doesnt even know it (but fuck her) and had friends starting to change. Thats about it.
I plan on writing more blogs daily, hopefully.
And also uploading a new myspace for my design company, eventually.
Keep posted with me :]
