Life is getting hectic. Between juggling my day-job (hospital domestic and not at all ashamed of it), and being a faux rock-star of the highest (and baldest) order, I have barely had time to think lately.
Rehearsals for the Floyd show have been sporadic and occasionally productive. We are yet to gather with the full compliment of musicians, such are the logistics of uniting a 9 piece group. But the core group have been beavering away getting things right, I have been getting gradually more accustomed to that heaving monstrosity I call my keyboard rig and Dean has been looking a little more like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Some pieces are coming around well. For a newie, 'Wearing the Inside Out' is sounding fantastic, and thats just as a four piece. I think that may be a high point for me. Shine On, as always is great, the Wall stuff is great, and the Dark Side stuff will stand out. Well, it probably all will.
I am looking forward to playing and singing with Chris again.
Anubis is gearing up for some work in the coming months, as we have somehow landed ourselves a bit of a package 'selection of shows' (thank you Phil Collins) with a couple of progressively inclined groups in Sydney. This is exciting for us as we will get a chance to get out there and show people what we are doing, and make some new friends along the way.
This is doubly exciting for me as the band is rising to the occasion and our last two get-togethers have been nothing short of amazing. Disinfected and Abused, the epic, is as always sounding strong, but the last rehearsal gave us a 'Collapse' to really shout about. The music was accurately played and very spirited and the vocals were nothing short of astounding (with some very good harmonies).
This is some very welcome momentum leading up to the release of the album, which is finished and awaiting mastering, artwork and pressing.
