Shockingly; I have very little to say................

.............but by the end of the weekend, I will have all too much to tell you and even more by the end of next week! =D

So, yes, I failed my duties as a blogger. I missed a day. God; forgive me please?! :O
But I was ill so I think I need this one exception.....knew you would understand. =D

A sad thing happened today actually. Many of you may see this a triumph, others will also mourn the loss but as I reached to get my amp for behind my sofa, I ripped my All Time Low poster. This was genuinely gutting. BUT...have no fear! I have two others so I shouldn't be worrying too much! It was a case of my clumsiness and general lack of peripheral vision that caused this incident. Yet, this leads me onto a musical point.

I recently joined a band as the sole guitarist. A 4 piece rock band by the name of the Lost Hybrids (link to be left at the end of the paragraph) who are all great musicians in their own rights. Having never been a part of a band atmosphere, I was initially skeptical about what I could contribute to the sessions but nonetheless very privelaged to be a part of them. Well, since then, we've had a handful of sessions, created at least 3 new songs together (with many more ideas floating around), got two gigs with a possible third in the New Year and things are looking great! As time goes by and we hopefully get more shows (and more tickets to dosh out) then it would be lovely for peeps to come down to whichever venue it may be (Grapes,  Plug etc.) and support us. To give you a sense of what we sound like, we wrote a song that mashes the drumbeats of Massive Attack with the distortion and aggressive of many of Nirvana's back catalogue. Whenever we practise, I impromptuly shout "MASSIVE ATTACK!" to signal it's beginning; I'm thinking of using this at some of the shows too. Just for fun. =D

So, yeah, that was today's news! Very boring stuff but this weekend will be limited also. By time constraints; the joys of manual labour, trips to London, seeing the ol' ball and chain who's back from Uni (THAT I can't wait for guys! :D) but I WILL STILL blog to you!

Anyways, I'm off but see the link below for a look at some of the Lost Hybrid's older songs before I joined (Note: none of the songs on the playlist feature me on the guitar; that's something we're working to correct shortly)

Enjoy,

Tward (Assistant to the Regional Manager; anyone get this?!)
