Rock And Roll!

I know its been a while since my last post, but I have been somewhat busy as of late. So far, I have finished college and have achieved 3 A-levels at Pass Pass Merit standard, And tonight was Meridian Point's second time playing at the Marrs Bar in Worcester. We also have a gig coming up in TJ's on sunday evening.
Tonight at the Marrs Bar was only a Jamming night, but still, we got to play four songs and the place was packed out again. Even though the band havn't practiced for over a week now, the gig was flawless and went down a storm.
Anyway, I have to go and rock out some more now, so bye bye ! o/

P.S. The demo is almost finished now, It is actually being mixed and finished off as I type. CD's will be available soon...................

First Demo Recorded!!!

On wednesday 21st june, Meridian point all met at John-Joe's house on Tunnel Hill and went into the basement to record. We recorded 6 tracks, which were the songs that we played at TJ's last sunday. Hopefully, whats going to happen now is we are going to finish mixing the demo, get it burnt onto CD and send the Demo's off to various venues and say look, this is our demo, give us some gigs !
We will also sell the demo at our gigs for a small cost (or at least i think we will anyway) so if anyone wants to hear us, contact me and i will see about sending you a demo, or just come to one of our gigs.
I think there is a gig on sunday in barbourne park, at the band stand. But, it is not confirmed yet, so i will post and update as soon as i hear about it. -wade

P.s. Here are some pics of the recording session:

First Gig

Meridian Point have taken their first step to glory. On sunday the 18th, we had our first gig at TJ's in town. There were quite a few people there, and it was a real success. We got the crowd going pretty well which means our stuff went down well.
We are recording somewhere tomorow, but i have no details where. This means we can get a Demo recorded, which means we can get loads of gigs around worcester !!!
Anyhoo, ill report back later with more information.

Meridian Point's First Gig !

Thats right folks, we have our first gig and its on sunday 18th at TJ's in worcester. We have only had 3 practices, our fourth is later this afternoon.
The progress we have made as a band is phonominal. We must have wrote 4 songs on our first band practice. We already have about a 20-30 minute set which is pretty tight already, after 3 practices. I really cant wait until we do this gig on sunday!

1st Band Practice = SUCCESS !!!

On tuesday may 30th we had our first band practice. We settled on the name; Meridian Point. Anywhoo, the practice was amazing cos we all got mashed to celebrate. We managed to write about 5 songs, and get the tight which is absolutly amazing ! There is even talk of a performance this sunday but i will post more as more happens on this subject.
I can see there is so much potential in this band, and i know we can get big if we really try. We play a sort of funky experimental progressive-jazz, but i love it....

New Band !!!

Well, me and some of the guys from Purple Ink have formed a new band! Theres myself on drums, Rio on guitar, Shane on bass and Flo on lead vocals. Flo is an amazing singer, and she has the loots to boot so she makes the perfect candidate for a front person. Rio has come a long way since Purple Ink, his guitar playing has improved dramatically and he is into his jazz chords a lot at the moment, which is good because im into jazz myself. Shane has put the guitar down, and has picked up the bass. In my opinion, this is a good move. No offence to shane cos he is a great guitar player, and i respect him as a musician, but i just feel he can go further in a band situation if he is playing bass. Some of the stuff we have already done, the bass lines that shane has made are really funky and are amazing. I cant wait until we start gigging, i have a good feeling about this band..... Wade

Congratulations !!!

Well, Me and my girlfriend are engaged. I took her to Ostlers, a very nice resturant (very expensive), and i wined and dined her before asking her to marry me. Instead of giving her a ring, i have her a necklace because the ring I wanted, i couldnt afford after the holiday we just brought. I am planning on getting the ring, and giving it to her when were in Gran Canaria, later this year.
Well, weve been togther for 4 years now, and we plan to marry in 2011, which is some way away yet.

New Drums !!!

Well, its been a while since my last post and in the mean time, ive been out and brought a new 6 piece Tama Rockstar white with a hardware rack. Here are some pictures...








It was a bargin. The drums and the rack cost £525. I got a 10" rack tom, 12" rack tom, 13" rack tom, 14" rack tom, 16" floor tom and a 22" bass drum. The hardware rack alone probably was worth about £400-500 so i think it was a very good deal. Now all i need is to finish off getting those Zildjian ZXT Titanium Cymbals. I so far have the 16" crash, 18" crash and a very heavy 20" ride cymbal - End of this month, im going up to the Birmingham Drum Center to get the rest.
Peace.... Wade
