Band Update

Confession: the last time Second Player Score got together as a band was when we played a benefit show for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention last September. Yes, SIX MONTHS AGO.

Funny how time works, huh? But anyway, we are now on the cusp - I hope - of starting back up again. As a musician, when you don't play music for a long time, you start to really miss it even if you don't realize it. It's a great way to relieve stress, even if some of that stress paradoxically stems from the act of playing music (as much as I love performing, especially for a good cause like supporting the AFSP or Autism Empowerment, there's all the other stuff that goes into it: loading gear! Finding parking! Staying up past my bedtime! Are people going to show up? Etc., etc.)

I have even, for the first time in literal years, WRITTEN NEW SONGS. Three of them, in fact. Two of them were deliberate attempts to make anime-theme-song-style songs, and the third was a completely different animal loosely inspired by "Gotta Get Away" by The Offspring and "Catch These Fists" by Wet Leg. The anime-style songs still need lyrics (my goal is to write them in Japanese) and are pretty complex, so you probably won't be hearing them anytime soon. The third song, however, is a simple punk-rock jam (called "Edge Back" - yes, it has lyrics) that we may have ready by the time we play our next show.

Oh, did I forget to mention? Yes, we HAVE SHOWS BOOKED. One is in May, the next in June. Which equals the number of shows that we played all of last year. I will announce more details when it gets closer.

Will this represent a new beginning, a phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes revival of Second Player Score, the band*? We shall see! Stay tuned...

* the multimedia production team is something totally different and may have a cool announcement of its own coming up soon
