Lame, I'll see if I can get him to upload it to youtube or something.

gaslight 08-22-2009 08:34 AM

Cool.

Up to much today, how's the rig?

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 08:55 AM

Just make an account, don't be soft :p

Nah just worked and have the house to myself for 5 days, living the dream. Not working till Wednesday either, smooth sailing.

****ing LOUD. I can't get it past 1 and 1/2 in practise and this is with the rest of the band being taken through two PA speakers and two PA subs.

gaslight 08-22-2009 09:00 AM

Facebook is for queers I refuse to participate.

That's some crazy volume. Maybe just run one cab at practise?

I was in studio today with my rig when the whole suburb had a blackout, I was worried for a bit but it's been through worse - it was only on standby when the electricity went and it was all alright an hour afterwards when the juice came back on.

I know but it's a live HD video of mah band :( There's two actually.

This is basically what I have to do haha, in retrospect the second cab wasn't really necessary. But still useful.

I would be worried if it happened to mine, I'm too paranoid now I have a rig I know parts are hard to come by for.

gaslight 08-22-2009 09:22 AM

Oh cool man. Make sure the sound gets mixed tight. Nothing sillier than a high quality video with crappy audio.

I was stoked to finally hear my head and cab mic'ed up today.

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 09:28 AM

Well the audio wasn't live recorded it was just video from our resident photographer/cinematographer but came out a hell of a lot better than most seem to. Both times.

Depending on where we play next I'm considering combining resources with him and jacking direct from the sound deck.

gaslight 08-22-2009 09:38 AM

Nice one man, HD video is slick stuff.

Can be tricky to do that live recordings from a sound desk thing well because if you're recording the feed as is being sent to the front of house, it's rarely listenable on its own when all the live amps and things are taken out of the equation. Found that out the hard way :lol:, got our mix back from it and it's the front of house guy like, tweaking the crap out of the volume sliders midway through songs to figure out which channel is what and all kinds of crap that rendered the audio completely useless.

Is your EP on sale yet?

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 09:52 AM

Hrmm, I never really thought about it like that!!!

Yes it is, you want one? I'm already sending two to Sydney :p

Sales are going pretty well, our new manger is still in Sydney incidentally just doing his thing; we may even be moving there next year.

gaslight 08-22-2009 10:00 AM

How do you find having a manager, do they charge much

I've never been in a project with a manager.

Yeah man I'd like one, maybe arrange aswap when my band's is done. I just did all my bass tracks for a different album today so that should turn out nicely also I hope.

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 10:03 AM

Well we haven't officially signed with him yet although he works with my guitarists cousin who does radio work and I think takes 15%, which is not a huge amount in retrospect. When he's back from Sydney we're sorting out the fine print.

That'd be sweet, I can't see any problems with that.

gaslight 08-22-2009 10:38 AM

Sounds like fun :). I wish it wasn't being such a nightmare to organise this EP but it's out of my hands unfortunately.

15% is alright for a manager, as long as they are essential to you making 15%+ more than you could without them. I get way tired of booking gigs myself, hitting up radio stations, etc :(. Tiring ****.

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 10:47 AM

That's exactly the kind of **** we don't want to do. I'm basically doing it at the moment but I'd rather not be. So what's the big g-o with this EP why's it such a drama?

Epidemechanical 08-22-2009 11:18 AM

since i got facebook i've ****ed about 5 more girls than i would have without it. stfu and get it gaslight quit being a douche.

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 11:25 AM

I will admit I have ****ed more than 1 person due to facebook and myspace. Check the video, Liam.

Epidemechanical 08-22-2009 11:28 AM

pretty sweet dude nice bass playing

totally friended you

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 11:44 AM

Oh, I wish it'd cut through more but it was a hand-held and my old amp so I can't complain. My basslines are fairly simple but interesting I think.

Wow, looking at your pics, not what I was expecting haha, in hindsight I don't know exactly what it was I was expecting.

Epidemechanical 08-22-2009 11:45 AM

why arent they what you expected?

everyone says that btw

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 11:47 AM

Well if everyone says that it shouldn't pose a question now should it?

I don't know, I was basing my perceptions on that DP of you and the motor oil.

I added you.

Also, I didn't make the connection between Raayl and his FB account. I left him in the request box for a while, then I was like ofu raayl!

Epidemechanical 08-22-2009 11:55 AM

most people expect a 5'5'' 100 lbs manlet like marilyn manson or something

but then im all beefy and they're like

oh he works out cool

funkyhoney 08-22-2009 12:01 PM

I don't know what people expect when they get to know me. Exactly what I look like springs to mind.

Anyway I'm getting some sleep, it's way too early.

BenJammin 08-22-2009 12:13 PM

Liam, you need to look less like a guy who works out, and more like Vegeta.

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

Mr. Pickle 08-22-2009 02:28 PM

Sade, I want to add you on facebook. I'm that fat kid on there.

Wait, did I just add you, or a muscular SuperNaut?

Epidemechanical 08-22-2009 02:40 PM

a muscular supernaut

Mr. Pickle 08-22-2009 02:44 PM

okay, good. I was worried for a minute.

I am the dude with the booty, duh.

Oh, lawl. I was wondering what that message meant.

Been waiting for months to be sent official lyrics and stuff for the booklet, I can't really press on with the art until I know what the number of pages and so-on will be, and leaving the nice booklet out devalues the product a bit. It's been pretty annoying.

Can't help you bro. Facebook is like being religious, it just devalues people irreparably in my view.
