We (Guitars / vocalist and Bass / backing vocals / harmonies) are currently in the recording studio, with the guitarist playing the drum parts on our new material. We would prefer to have an actual drummer in the band to do these recordings and get back out live asap.

Full well equipped rehearsal studio and Logic Pro recording suite via 16 channel firewire desk.

Can't Help Myself
Can't Help Myself Track number: 1 Year: 2010 Album: na Genre: Classic Rock
"Can't Help Myself" is the most difficult of our songs on drums, so if you can play this you can handle anything I have written at this time. It is a hard rocker, one of our heavier tracks, probably somewhere along the lines or early GNR or Skid Row, with some stop starts and feel changes to make it a little different to what the other original bands in town are producing.

2 Weeks
2 Weeks Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Album: na Genre: Blues
"2 Weeks" is the softest track we play, with it's bluesy / jazzy overtones and 3/4 time signature it is never quite what people expect us to play after hearing our rockier tunes. We do have a couple other soft rockers, but they tend to go up a few gears by the end, where this one holds the soft blues feel throughout. This song works very well as an unplugged track also, minus the solos.
-
Voodoo
Voodoo Track number: 3 Year: 2010 Album: na Genre: Acoustic
"Voodoo" is not strictly acoustic, but it does start out with a nice 12 string acoustic part over each verse. The 12 string theme continues throughout the song, but electric guitars do enter to power the chorus up a gear or 2. This song is always a favourite with the ladies at gigs, (for some strange reason). Proof that a good song does not need to be too complicated.
