back in the 'shade

Cheesey title but hell. Last night during New Years, we had a pow wow and I'm back with Nightshade. Back in the situation of having only a month and a half for a gig. Now far as Black Mourners Veil, I'll still be assisting Rob in getting new members and also gave him permission to use the riffs that I've given...

Sometimes you just gotta start things from scratch. I'm in the process of putting together a band with an old friend from high school. I put up flyers and low and behold, actualy got some calls. Met one drummer and things looked good until he didn't show up to my birthday party despite saying he would. It was a no call no show, this concerns...

It looks as though I'm 99.9999% out of Nightshade wich saddens me greatly. The decision was based on it's core members John and Aaron. They needed someone who is more specialized in rythym than a player that is more lead based or half n' half. I was willing to be rythym for the time until more material but they feel. I'm hurt and sad but...

Ne profile pic that's from the collection of new band photos. I'm right in the midst of getting things decorated for the holidays. Things have been quite well with my new band. Had a few bumps but normal stuff that goes with being the new guy. Most of it came from my disdain of dropped tunings but worked it out okay. I went with the...

Things seem to be taking a turn for the better. Nightshade, another local gothic black metal band, found themselves short of a guitarist at the convieninet time of me being out of a band. Their drummer and also lead called me up to co me over. Bascily he gave me an interview as if it was real job. It turned out that Nightshade is the...

Went down to Huntington WV last Friday to see Lennon and help whatever I can. The drive was very nice at this ti me of year with all the trees taking multiple colors.Huntington was a lot like Lexington is being a small end of major cities and hard to navigate through. Most of the heavy stuff was brought it when I arrived so didn't do...

looks like I could be back on the market for playing guitar depending how well things go. It looks as though there some lack of common goal and motivation in both bands which also led to some other bullshit that I won't get into. I'm not taking any bets, that and I'll have some extra time for another band anyway. What I realy need out...

well saw Lennon this past Saturday, gave her manager a lift to rent a band eq for the show cause of the PA didn't sounded all that well with the set up. After the PA had some more turbulence which I'll spare the details, as I have enough of it in my own band as it is and I'm sure Lennon and her crew don't...

Abyzma had it's live performing cherry popped last night at the Bulldog Cafe in Louisville. I was quite happy the way the performance came out, we had some bumps as usual but for the first gig of a new band, very good. Didn't stay around long after as some of us, including myself, had work following day. I look forward to some future gigs and...

Things are finaly on the up and up, first of all, finaly got some money in pocket and of course most of it goes into my car's gas tank and into exhaust. Hate the gas prices and my work work location to rub more salt into the wounds.

Also, my band Abyzma has a gig Tuesday August 22 at a place called Bulldogs in one...
