So, first rehearsal with new band today.
It went well. We did not sound great but first rehearsals never do.
We managed to struggle through four tracks, which is good I guess. I mean, I’ve never played in a band where we’ve managed to get a feel for four tracks in one rehearsal. We kept it rather short, only about three hours with a break in the middle. to Keep things fresh and not get tired I guess. One song got the full Sonic Youth-treatment with a 10 minute (or so) long free, noise, ending.
Tomorrow it’s back in the saddle. More songs!
I will also have to have a bit of a think. I will think about how we should best plan, and execute, these rehearsals, to get the best out of the songs. I will think about what songs will fit this band. Of the four tried out today at least one felt really out of place.
We’ll see, we’ll hear, we’ll speak…
