We played live on tv this morning!

Its a case of no gigs, no coming along on acoustic gigs, no rehearsals until further notice, and the old bassist showing up quite a lot lately. I figure, form a 2nd group just to have gigs, you know? When CW is ready to go again, if they still want me, I'm here. If not, for whatever reason, then...well, I've got a 2nd project that can become a primary project if it needs to.

I gotta make my ends. If I'm going to avoid a full-time office job, I need to take gigs.

I'd skip the CW...they don't seem to want you around. The bands that have stability around here are the bands that all hang out off the gig, and treat each other as family. You don't have that connection, from what we can see. Get your own thing together, you seem to be operating from a position of power at present. You know that they're unstable, you know they don't want you around, you know that other players/bands DO want you around, so take advantage of it and get crackin' on the new band, and book gigs at places the CW plays. Book as much as you can, then when CW sees you playing out in "their places", they'll likely either try to get you back, or sever ties completely. Be too busy with your band to give them the time of day- that'd be the best thing!

Its going to take some time to get the 2nd band going. They want me to front it, so I'm making myself busy learning songs that I can both sing and play, and that will satisfy the other players. They are more than welcome to suggest things to me, but if I can't sing them and play them, someone else will need to. The 2nd guitarist can sing, but the lead guitar and the drummer can't.

You know, I really like CW's music. Truly. And I think we sound great! We could be doing so much right now, but we're not!!! I don't understand the apparent full-on band shutdown in light of the success of the tv spot. I mean...I know they're busy, but...dang!!! It does look like a shutout, huh?
