A Stepping Stone…

Written by KindredPOKER in Music

First post in a while >.<

I'm a small stepping stone across my journey for achieving awesomeness guitar sound. My Boss Noise Suppressor arrived today; now I just need to save up for my Peavey Stack. Not only that, but I whipped some Beefy Slinky strings on my Xplorer and I am impressed, tuning down to Drop G# has the same tension as Standard with '10s would have, not that G# sounds good by the way xD

Band is moving along rather nicely got two songs down, working on another two ready for our next gig :)

Children In Need Show

Written by KindredPOKER in Music

We raised over £700 for Children In Need today and the gig had a huge turnout, we only did one song again, it was an expanded version of the random song me and Matt did last time.

Here is the video, the first part was while we were setting up and then it fades to the start of the song:

Back From Eurogamer

Written by KindredPOKER in Gaming

Just got back from Eurogamer, it was pretty cool. Played many great upcoming games and we even sneaked into the over 18 section that had Saw, Left 4 Dead and Alien vs. Predator. Was a really good day, some of the best photos are below (click to enlarge):

Charity Gig was Awesome!

Written by KindredPOKER in Life, Music

Despite my earlier decision that the gig would be terrible, it was actually really good. The audience was great and everyone played very well, including me, of course xD. Unfortunately I won’t have the video until Monday 2nd November, my camera was running low on batteries and I had none spare, so I’ll have to wait until the school footage is edited. However I did take many photos, some of the good ones are below (click to enlarge):

Charity Gig on Friday

Written by KindredPOKER in Life, Music

Just a quick update. I’m doing a charity thingy inside school on Friday for tickled pink, me and Matt are doing a random improvisation that we made in like an hour, it is most likely going to be terrible, but meh xD.

Also on Tuesday I’m going to Eurogamer Expo 09 with Kurt and Curtis, expect many pictures ^_^

Byez.

Burnt Toast Theme Complete!

Written by KindredPOKER in Music

Spent the most part of today in a recording studio making Burnt Toast, it came out quite nicely. Unfortunately I didn’t get time to record the preview of the song I am composing.

Burnt Toast the video series will be released shortly.

To The Record-o-mobile

Written by KindredPOKER in Life, Music

Just a quick update: tomorrow I will be recording the theme tune for Burnt Toast and possibly the preview of my song if we have time. Will also be making a logo for it shortly, if anyone is or knows of a decent video editor who can make a good intro video to go with the theme tune, contact me and I’ll give you more details.

Videos Incoming…

Written by KindredPOKER in Gaming, Life, Music

I have finally decided on an idea for a video series, I am going to review Xbox 360 games, most of the time it is going to be making fun of the game. Going to start making these shortly, but even better I should be making a theme tune for it too as long as my uncle is all good helping me with it in his recording studio.

My band will be working on our own song soon, a few days ago a tune popped into my head and I’m doing my best to translate it to guitar, I’ll get some sort of preview for it shortly.

Also I won’t be online as much for a week or two because my cat jumped onto my laptop with lots of force and somehow killed the harddrive on it :/

One more thing, if you are into Metal and such, check out Dope’s new album, No Regrets ;)

Last thing, I promise, check out my band’s drummer’s YouTube channel, a few great covers on it: Right Here.

Byes.
