So I've had the craziest week with my gfriend and I want to document it. It started last thursday. Met the Chevelle dudes. Their producer comes to my apmnt and checks out our stuff. Digs it and wants to hear the final product. Gave me some tips on a couple tunes. Great producer. Very nice guy. Party till ........late. Friday we try and record. Computer breaks. it's the nemisis of our band. Still working on that one. Saturday... Tom Morello sends me a text he's in town. My girlfriend and I take him to Mickey Finns to see a freinds band play. Some of the band members don't realise toms in the room. I think the audience knows.....lots of strange stares. the band busts into cochise....an uncoforable feeling comes over our table. But we listen and Toms checking it out. A few songs later they do a rage tune. We're loosened up by now. .....we're diggin it. Tom was thankfull he went to see this band,,,,,says he'd "never seen a band cover his music before." So that was cool. We head to downings were he gets mobbed by drunken fans....all is good. Sunday...Gfriend and i head to Durty Nellies with an old friend (Perry Bax-x Stabbing westward tour manager) . Our friend Woody is there. the dreaming is playing (Ex singer of Stabbing westwards new band). We party on the bus after for a while. Chris asks about his guitars. I bought 3 of his prized guitars a while back when I went to LA to consider working with him. Check out his band...www.myspace.com/thedreaming. They rock! Monday...downings with Tom again...more fans of his mob him. He gives me some great stern advice to finish our music.....basically a "just do it" speech which was very much needed. He's been very complimentory of our stuff. and....unfortunately......( or forunately depending on how u look at it) patient. We need to finish it. Soon...end of story. Tuesday...drop Tom off at airport and my gfriend (Jessica for those that don't know) head to Madison to catch another dreaming show. this time we don't know a soul so we basically hang with chris and the band and get smashed. We had a blast. Chris is such a nice guy. please check his band out. So anyway, that's it. It was good to get reaquanted with some of my more successfull musician freinds and make a couple of new ones that can help our band out. A memorable week for sure. Oh we MIGHT be playing the Metro on friday....we still don't know. We'll post it as soon as we hear anything. Take care...pat.
