I have always wanted to be a rockstar my entire life! I was singing Frank Sinatra songs before I could talk properly.
Tomorrow marks the first day of my one month journey towards my first significant step into being a rockstar and playing my first REAL gig with my first REAL band. I am feeling all sorts of mixed feelings... Most of them are good. I have a few limiting beliefs I will need to tackle in the next 31 days, however I am going to work very hard to overcome any and all challenges that come my way. One thing i know... SEPTEMBER 18th, 2008 at McNALLY'S is going to change my life forever!
I am very excited for this first step... I have a LOT riding on this... And I realise there is a LOT riding on me...
It is so cool, knowing that people are going to come and PAY to see me. To me, that is the ultimate compliment when people take the time out to come and see you.
I have waited a long time to be a part of a band. WAY TOO LONG! Why have I held off? I have held off because I felt that I have enough Know-How with the music industry that I didn't want to start with people who didn't have the experience and skills to keep up with me.
Kevin approached me about doing this project right at the same time I was going to approach him to see if he was interested in starting a band with me. It was perfect timing! I finally felt that I was ready for some really experienced players to put behind me. Boy, was I in for a treat... I got some really great guys backing me up. It ALMOST feels too good to be true. But I AM worth it and this band is going to fucking RAWK! AND I get to learn from some of the best people that Regina has to offer. I cannot ask for a better line-up for my first band.
Matrimony -N- Cheese
Zubazz - Lead Vocal
Dan Siljer - Guitar
Brad Evanochko - Guitar
Kevin Kyle - Bass
Bryce Wiles - Drums
(we are so new that I KNOW that I am spelling names wrong right now, but that will change..SORRY Boys!)
Matrimony -N- Cheese (the cheesiest band in the land!) is going to be a refreshing act for this city. Many of the themes for this band are close to my heart. 80's and Cheese go hand in hand... And as everyone knows and for those of you just tuning in: I LIKE CHEESE!!!
With this cover band, I want us to go as big as we possibly can with it. I know I am in for a real roller coaster and that this band will be what myself and the other guys in the band make it.
I am not going to speak for the band as to what they are feeling with this project. I am sure you will get 4 other very different opinions from mine about the band. My goal over the next 31 days is to chronicle the entire ride from here to there and maybe then some after that. First things first though... This next month is likely going to be very hard on me and very rewarding for me at the same time.
In advance... I would like to thank all of my friends for being there for me and making my life the great life that it has been. I do not say this enough to you all... but I sincerely love you from the bottom of my heart. Especially my friends in what we call the Dysfunctional Rock N Roll family! You people are my world! THANK YOU!
OK.... Let's RAWK!!!!
