our new band name, BandWidth
It was jamming/practicing time again this weekends. Saturday and Sunday were cool, coz at last, we finally sounded like a band and we are actually communicating (non-verbally) and in the same 'wave-length'. Something like when somebody started to play one part of a song, then the rest would automatically follow suits, and start to play together. We sounded a bit tight compared to our previous jamming/practicing sessions these 2 years. Finally we are linking together and function as a band. Every one was playing tight, even though there are some minor glitches here and there. Overall, i never felt so connected when we're playing (but i'm not sure with the other guys). Woohoo..and that's good news for the band.
Ok, on Saturday night Fei popped up the questions again, "Are we going to introduce ourselves as Bedroom Jam on the performing night?" So....i guess it's name changing time again for us again. So we came up with lots of censored, horny, ganas and silly/stupid names for ourselves. The guys even came up with The Casket (cool name but unfortnately it did not suit the band's sound and style). When we were having our dinner, i dished one of my book "The Art of Rock and Roll", and we go through some sections with some technical terms on sounds and effects. After finalising a few terms like Attenuation, Octave Divider, and Bandwidth, we finally choose "Bandwidth". So from now on, we are officially known as Bandwidth (even though not many knew bout us). What a new start for the band on a new year. Woohoo....and after changing the name, we finally sounded like a proper band. hell yearghhhh!!! This is what we're waiting for. But i guess, we only can starting to be more serious on the band only in 2006 coz uwai (our groove guy, the bassist) will have other important matters to attend to. so it's kinda difficult for him to concerntrate in the band. Well, we all discuss bout it via email, and we got no problem with it. we'll wait for him. we're a band, we are suppose to support each other and function as a unit. It's difficult to find another bassist for the band (coz all of my bandmates are damn versatile. We can play jingles type of song and next jump to hard rock stuff with ease. All of us are equally important in the band. Fei is a damn talented drummer (and he knew what to play, how to use certain drumming beat and pattern to suit our song eg. R.O.O.) and Mr Fingerpicker (Dave) who also damn good lead guitarist (although in the band, we (Dave and me) don't have a fix role in the guitar position). We both handle rhythm and lead guitar role. Although he's more of a fingerpicker now, he can equally rock the house. What more can i ask from these talented guys any more??
Since on the 21st will be our first 'official' gig/performance as Bandwidth, i would really want some friends to watch us perform, but i think i better forget it coz, i don't have the authority to invite people. it was more than a private function by dave's friend, rebecca's restaurant opening. i hope everything will be smooth that day coz there will be some public figure attending the function, erm.... like Cheryl Samad, Najip Ali, RED.fm's Djs Tim and Shareena, and the medias too. Thinking of that really gives me the creeps. Pheeeww.............. I hope the up coming 'gig' can really give us more exposure and experience as a band.
