Wow... I couldn't sleep too much last night because I got my head going about this band thing and that just got me excited and I just wanted to keep thinking of band details.
I watched a Rockumentary called KISS - The Second Coming. It was how Kiss got together in the first place and broke up, but then got back together again to be bigger and better than ever. I was going to just watch the movie ROCKY for inspiration as I tend to do in these moments... but I think that I am going to put myself on a strict diet of Rockumentaries and Rock Concerts for the next month. Nothing will get me charged up like that will... I think I can learn as much stage presence as possible from watching all the greats anyway.
As I am writing this i am for the first time printing out all the lyrics to the songs we have locked in to do. We have a bunch of songs left and I think we are going to pick the rest of them tonight. I am hoping the band will go with a couple of my recommendations as I feel they go nicely with our theme and are good party songs.
Tonight will be the band's 3rd rehearsal together. I am really looking forward to it because we will be adding Brad to the mix for the first time. I cannot wait to see what it all sounds like together. I am guessing that we will back track a bit on the first six songs and then learn the next 5 for the week.
Up until now, I have not spent as much time as I feel I should have on learning lyrics. Now that i have them printed out, I will be reading each song out loud at least 5 times a day until I have them flawlessly committed to memory. I am willing to spend an additional 4 hours a day at least on getting band stuff done from here on in.
Things I will need to work on:
Learning Lyrics
Costuming and Stage Props
Band Specific Stage Banter
General Stage Presence
Any Graphic Design Required
Marketing and Sales
Learning from my Peers as much as I can about this business
I have an hour till practice... I am going to burn some discs for the boys to practice with and go from there.
Catch Ya On The Flipside,
Zubazz
(If anyone has any rockumentaries that they think i should see that will get me charged up, let me know and i will give you a disc to burn for me)
