Lights, Camera, Band . . . Action !!!!

Tuesday night (4/6)  marked the first full band rehearsal for Aftermath. Spirits were high and everybody seemed to just click instantly. Dave and Chris locked right in with the rhythm section allowing Vinnie and Pat to explore other avenues and to roam free within the writing process.

The band started off with the lead track “Sleeping Through September”. By the end of the night the song transformed drastically but, in a really good way. Keeping the guitar lines simple made this song stand out more than cluttering it with unnecessary lines. Dave, the drummer, made it a point to only come in with the drums when it was necessary and the ending result proved to be a good decision and benefited the song greatly.

The next song the band worked on was called “Ode”. The tempo definitely changed from it’s original conception and at this point in time there is no physical way to describe the drum beat and bass pattern. It’s something totally different and unique and that alone is going to make this track stand out on it’s own. From everyones stand point, Ode was the highlight of last nights rehearsal.

The two tracks that Aftermath worked on last night are far from being finished but, the turnout and overall feel of the songs, as they stand are heading in a great direction. Next week the band will begin working on two heavier tracks.

Although the band did not record last night Dan did get a good amount of footage for the
documentary. Alot of ideas and pointers were discussed throughout the night concerning the songs, structures, etc.

One a side note, We wish Vinnie a full healthy recovery.
