Thanks and Happenings!

Hey guys! Lots of interesting things happening here in the Venice camp, as usual: First off, we had a BLAST at our show with The Energy. They’re super awesome, fun dudes and put on quite a show. You’d be missing out to not catch them when they’re in your area. Thanks to them and Mal / Excess DB with hooking us up right for the show. Totally upstanding people over there at...

Some sad news...

VS Faithful, It is with regret that we announce that Scott Charles will be leaving Venice Sunlight at the end of August for personal reasons. I’ll let Scott elaborate in this space if he so chooses, but suffice it to say that we will be sad to see him go. Scott has been a bandmate of mine in some form for almost 9 years and, more importantly, a dear friend throughout that time, and...

In which we highlight Alex's flair for redundancy

Jay: I might skip tomorrow's practice to make sure my voice stays intact for next week
Jay: I REALLY want to kill this recording
Jay: I'm even considering skipping tomorrow night's dance fest
Alex: no that's cool i guess but if you kill yourself this weekend I will murder you

We spent some more quality time in the studio, as well as the city of Philadelphia in general, this weekend. Among the things accomplished: 1) Some more in-studio video blogging. You’ll get to hear Jay and I speak in hoarse voices and hushed tones soon enough. 2) I wrote a fun little bluegrass jam on Jon Low’s wonderful Taylor acoustic guitar. I believe Steve referred to it as a...

We’re winding down our practice sessions prior to our onslaught of shows coming up, and things are coming together quite nicely. We’ll be debuting at least one or two new songs over the next few weeks, and we will certainly have a few other tricks up our sleeves. Prepare yourselves.

Things we discovered playing Rock Band yesterday:

1. No one really knows how to use the solo buttons up the neck of the guitar. 2. Scott is not able to follow the screen instructions during gameplay, at all. 3. Some of the songs are more difficult in the game than in real life. 4. Scott is no longer allowed to do vocals. We’re considering making this a rule when we’re not playing Rock Band, as well. 5. The lyrics being screamed in...
