I'm A Lazy Sod

I'm not really a lazy sod, I just haven't had the time to update this blog as I have been rather busy sorting out the DeKadanCe mini album, playing a few gigs both solo and the first full DeKadanCe gig.
Im not going to bore the shit out of you with a rundown of what happened at every gig coz it would get tedious very quickly - so what I am going to do is post three videos from the three gigs that have been played since the last post - along with relevant set lists just to keep you updated. The next post will be back to the usual bollox and a new chord or two on the guitar, maybe a new song as well.

The first of the three gigs was in Canterbury at The Lady Luck Bar (with Anthrax, The Commited & Snide) - There is an entire video of this gig but unfortunately the sound didnt come out too well (Thanks for the vid Melvin)
 
Set List :
You're A Terrorist
Question Authority
Generation iDiot
Go Back To Sleep
Race To The Bottom
This Means War
Pissing in The Wind
They Shoot Children (with Kay as DeKadanCe)

Here is Race To The Bottom 

   

The second gig was the following day in Ramsgate at the Red Lion supporting  Cozy Dunts
Set List : 
You're A Terrorist
Question Authority
Riot In Progress 
Still Called Scum 
When The Tea Runs Out
Go Back To Sleep 
Race To The Bottom
This Means War 
Pissing in The Wind 
Generation iDiot 
They Shoot Children (with Kay as DeKadanCe)
  
We were going to do another track (Knight of A 1000 Knives) but my string snapped and we didnt have time to restring so didnt do it

Here is Go Back To Sleep


 
And the third gig was a novelty for me - I was doing an integrated set of myself and DeKadanCe at the same time and it was outside a newsagent on a Saturday afternoon in the arse end of Cliftonville.

The set list was as follows
You're A Terrorist
Still Called Scum 
They SHoot Children Don't They (DeKadanCe)
Go Back To Sleep
Just One Life (DeKadanCe)
Race To The Bottom
Knight Of A Thousand Knives (DeKaDanCe
Pissing in The Wind
In Chains (DeKadanCe)
This Means War
Power & The Glory (DeKadanCe)
Generation Idiot
Identity (DeKadanCe)
Blitzkreig Bop

The last song was balgged on the spot as Tommy the last of the original Ramones had died the night before - this was my tribute to him

Here is DeKadanCe doing a cover of Power & The Glory which Kay originally wrote with her first band YouthInAsia




And there you have - not such a lazy sod - until next time when i will be spouting on about the Mini Album

Thanks to The Welsh Tart for all three videos

Crash, Bang ..Fuck it

Well, I was going to be telling you of the Anti-Christmas tune I was going to write and then post the finished song but everything has gone a bit tits up. I was learning a B Minor barre chord especially for it as well and then the worse thing happened, my PC crashed while i was recording the bass line, well, I thought it had crashed, what transpired is that the hard drive gave up the ghost toppled over after too much beer and said night night - no hard drive and therefore no music.
There was no back up as this drive was the back up while I was cleaning off the rest of my 'puter. Never mind these things happen, it has just set me back recording for a while as all the demos bar those online are now gone. Everything I had recorded was on that drive so its going to take a while to get back up and running again.
In the meantime I will be trying to learn these damn barre chords and swapping between chords I don't know too well namely Bminor and C. I can play a C but cant swap between other chords and C unless its an A or Am - best i get on YouTube and see if there is a way that will make my life less difficult.
In the meantime here is the last of the three demos that have been put up on Soundcloud, its a bit slower than the other three that have been put up here and actually involves a small amount of lead work which is repeated at various point thru the song.



Please feel free to download this or any other track from the soundcloud page. If you use this in a radio show or podcast - please credit me and and let me know - Thanks Russ Crimewave.
