Rehearsal (7-25-11)

Photobucket

This was a truly auspicious night. We actually had all the members of Discount Romance in one place…and semi sober!

Photobucket

Dong is still having problems with his knee, but he shows up like a trooper. He didn’t show up with his girlfriend though, so we made him walk up the 50 stairs on his crutches as punishment.

Photobucket

We’re working on the three final songs for our recording session in August. Things went pretty well. Nighttime Song and In the Mornin’ Time are really starting to take shape. The acoustic version of Everyone’s a Cowboy is sounding nice. Only the band version of Cowboy is still problematic. That’s why we’re going to back at in on Friday night.

We also decided upon the two songs we’re going to be recording the vocals for this weekend at Sanctuary Sound with the right honorable Barry Fasman. Carrie’s Got a Lover and Sweet Leaf got the call.

And…since Carissa was with us, I could take video!

BUT!

Before we start, here’s a little video to show you why I’m behind the camera during rehearsals and not our lovely and talented singer.



And now for your entertainment pleasure, Discount Romance…

Nighttime Song – This is coming along very nicely. Probably the prettiest song we do. Made even prettier by Juan’s piano magic. This starts a little late because I couldn’t get the camera to do what I wanted. Every time I pushed start recording, the flash went off. Luckily, I got most of it.

In the Mornin’ Time – The country-rock feel is starting to emerge on this. I think it’s going to be a nice edition to the album.

Everyone’s a Cowboy – We only have the acoustic version. The band version is a work in progress. This is very nice. Plaintive. Those of you who are into women scratching their bare calves are going to be especially interested in the ending of the video!

And once again…..More Captioned Pictures!!!

Photobucket

This is Kent: Guitarist. His hobbies are baking bread, macramé and scalping Romanians.

Photobucket

Dan was once thrown out of a Christian band for writing a song where he rhymed, “Christ has arisen” with “Alka-Seltzer’s fizzin’.”

Photobucket

Kent is actually completely harmless…as long as his forearms have been Super-Glued together.

Photobucket

“Okay Carissa, you know you were wearing a dress over this slip when you got to rehearsal. What happened to it?"

Photobucket

“Jason looks on E-bay for a bass drum capable of holding a woman against her will.”

Photobucket

Dong is even more simpatico with his instrument now that his guitar and his knee are made out of the same wood.

Photobucket


Jason has a moment of silence. Shabby Road’s oldest cockroach was found dead behind the fridge. He may have been strangled for his stash of Ritz Cracker crumbs.

Photobucket

Carissa’s legs are the main reason the rest of the band brings syrup to each and every rehearsal.

Photobucket

“Number one: I didn’t touch that fucking cockroach, and number two: you can smell Cheez-It crumbs on my breath.”

Photobucket

Dan dreams of a far off land where women fuck with other parts of their body as much as they fuck with their hair.

Photobucket

“He seems so familiar. I’m sure he ruled my country with an iron fist a few years back.”

Photobucket

“Why is everyone looking at me like I’m a big stack of pancakes?”

Photobucket

“Man, if this finger were a pistol, they’d be pickin’ your pituitary out of Dong’s teeth.”

Photobucket

“Hey fuckheads! Let’s not forget who the eye candy is in this band. Which one of you ugly assholes is going to get me a fucking coke?”
