In an earlier post, I mentioned some of our plans coming up. Since we have nothing booked at the moment, and likely nothing through the holiday season, we are settling back into building a second 1-hour set.
If you have seen any of our last few shows, you've seen a band that was slightly strapped for time. Our standard set, as rehearsed, runs just a shade over one hour. Thus far, doing openings, we've been able to play the whole set one time. So, the time has come to build up a second set and start shooting for some headlining shows. Set construction is always an interesting process. When you're just getting running as a band, you're trying to get enough material to make playing worthwhile. Eventually, as you get more music ready, you can start to shape the way a set flows. Get even more music ready, and you can swap songs around to your heart's content. There is plenty of material written, so the task is to just whip it into shape and see where it fits in. Pick up a couple more covers and shuffle it together.
Another thing that will be happening, hopefully sooner rather than later, will be the creation of completed demos for some of the other new songs. We have been playing the 3 songs from the AOD '09 demo (Defiance, In the Wake of Fear, and Waste Away) and 3 other new songs (Another Life, Perfect World, and Awake) that haven't been demoed. Maybe I'll throw a couple of "About the song" entries on this blog as we get them completed.
