This past weekend I was lucky enough to be able to go home first the first time this semester. It was a much needed break from Peoria. I was lucky enough to be home when one of my best friends was home for spring break who I haven't seen since New Years. When we got together, we decided to attempt to create a viral video. We did a cover of Flight of the Conchord's "Albi" with a lot of random clips and commentary. It fared well with our family and friends, but hasn't taken off yet on YouTube (there's still a chance though). We are hoping our next video will take off once we get our "A-Team" back together.
Music has played a pivot role in my life growing up. My first drum teacher played with the Smashing Pumpkins, and got me the "in" in my music career. Since then I've play on a lot of band's records and a few tour shows. I've never really had my "own thing". Over winter break, I formed together with some friends from high school in order to try to get back on the local music scene, and this last weekend we moved one step closer to doing so.
One things I am excited for coming up would be my band's first full band shows this summer. While I was home we finally finalized our band name, Peaceful Disturbance, and found a full time bass player. I'm really hoping that this group will be able to sustain some success. Previously I was involved with groups whose personalities did not mesh. This group I'm with now is one of the more talented groups I've played with and have played together for years, so I'm really excited to see what happens next. We are finalizing an acoustic show for April here at college, so that, I hope is the start of something great.
