Had a great time at the New Years Eve party last night! Heaps of people came out, the entire small keg of Granville Island Pale Ale was consumed, and our band did our first show in front of a crowd of very supportive friends.
John Beihler took some excellent photos of our performance and also took some video footage which we hope to make available in the next couple of months. Reilly and I are both gearheads so with my new microphones and Reilly’s recently-purchased Mackie mixer we’ve captured a multi-track audio recording of the show.
Speaking of new microphones, I finally went out and picked up an AKG D112 kick drum mic and another Rode M3 small diaphragm condenser mic to complete my drum overheads. Now I’ve got everything I need to properly record a drum kit and we’re hoping to get more recordings of our band in 2010. Today I moved the drum kit and microphones back up to my apartment. Next week I’m planning on laying down more drums before I start work on Jan 11.
Hope you all had a great New Years! Thanks to everyone who came out to see us and had many kind words to say about our band! I’m fortunate to be in a band with talents like Reilly and Shan.

Hey, wish I could have seen it! This is Joy who originates from frigid, isolated Okanagan, by the way. Not that imposter.
haha, THAT Joy. You would’ve had a good time on New Years for sure! Looks like you had a pretty awesome trip too.
