  • I feel you. I have no time at the moment, new baby, new job and short winter days. By the time I've got the tiny boy down to sleep for the night it can be 10:30-11pm or later and the last thing I want to do (having been up since 5:30am) is start work on something that requires creative energy.

    As a result I've been failing to find the time to sit down and finish a lyric that I had 90% of done since about August. Gah.

    What I have been doing though is prepping for two things I want to do in the new year. well three really.

    One is finish off the Elvers album and stick it out. I'm way past obsessing over different mixes and stuff, just going to bundle up the tracks, master it as an album and stick it out.

    I then want to start playing some solo gigs out here. There's a new art space/venue opened in my little town and I'll def book something there for spring.

    The other thing is that I want to put together a noisy band at some point soon. I've been working really hard on my electric playing. Really trying to get my vibrato happening, bending in tune to and inject some new ideas into my solo playing. It's a slow road but I'm definitely improving.

    In support of this plan i'm putting together a rig to suit. Hence pedal board acquisitions and guitar tinkering. Last thing on the shopping list is a gig worthy amp. Will very likely be SF fender of some flavour. Then I just need to track down a rhythm section. Easier said than done.
