When you have a band as awesome as this one, rehearsals just plain fun.  We’ve rehearsed a few times now and material is just sounding better and better.  It’s helped a ton that I was able to give them a rough Garageband demo so they kinda knew where I wanted to go.  The fun part, even though I’ve sort of already produced the songs, they are bringing new ideas, sounds, and in some cases, song structures and making the songs even better.

As you can see, we took some pics of one of the rehearsals.  I meant to bring the camera to every rehearsal, but I forgot in the tumult of grabbing gear to get there on time.  This time, I remembered, but Paul wasn’t able to make it.

Ski had the brilliant idea changing the intro for 11:11 to the chorus, rather than the same thing as the verses.  I had some trouble keeping tempo with the original intro, so starting with the chorus really nails the tempo down before you get into the quarter notes in the verses.

We were also joined by Yoda on cowbell.  He rocked and when we asked him if we would be great at our gig, he said, “You will be, you will be”.  You can’t get any better than that…
