I can't afford to blip. Car problems and insurance have killed me once again.

Vinyl will be available next week, and I'll be sending paypal invoices out to those interested.

I'll think about recording the next one "live" Problem is i own a tiny amp that is too hi-fi for playing dirty punk, and i dont have a decent mic.

(actually, i've been playing around with the idea of a psychobilly release next, but no promises)

and yeah i am enjoying playing this stuff a lot more. i feel like i'm not cheating anymore, not that chip is cheating, but i'm more involved.

vocals seem to be what most people are suggesting. i'll think about it in the future.

I'd buy it.

I think luck plays into it a lot.
Here in Australia we have a relatively small (but amazing) scene where everyone knows each other and pretty much everyone has slept on celsius' couch.
Theres enough of us to have plenty of regular gigs, but theres few enough of us that everyone plays at some point.

Knowing (people) is half the battle.
If i didn't know 10k, i wouldnt be playing in Sydney, if i didnt know celsius, i wouldnt be playing soundbytes, if i didnt know dot.ay, i wouldn't be playing brisbane.

I used to play in a band where they went on about these potential gigs that never eventuated, and they were all going to be the "big break" that lead to world tours and music videos. But nothing ever happened because they waited for people to ask them to play.

Don't be afraid to ask people if you could jump on the beginning of their show and even just do a short set. You'll build up a rep and the next time they might ask you to play a full set.

I've been in chip since '08, and it wasn't until last year, mostly towards the end that i started getting regular gigs (once a month/once every two months)

Talk to the YMCA about the gigs, be the person who sets that up, become a local hero.

We'll have to get locals to dress up as foreigners. With slightly altered names.
"neilsleep"
"4mant"
