The Second Post

Alright, my second update to this blog thing. A fair amount of activity (somewhat related to the band) has happened in the last 2 days. Oh, and that's another thing, I'm going to start posting once every day if I can. Once  every 3 days just seems like too long of a time period between not posting and posting again. But anywho, I missed yesterday's post because I was busy (lazy) writing songs 'nd junk, so this post will actually have 2 day's worth of stuff. But back on the topic of the band...

Well on Saturday, me and Mike were derping around on Facebook, and we decided to start a group. And so we lassoed in a few other people to the project, and now we have 4 definite members of the band (MOAR PEOPLE :3). Although we still need someone who can play either lead guitar/rhythm guitar or bass. I'm not sure which of the the 3 I'll play, or which of the 2 Mike will play. We should sort that whole thing out soon...
-Scott (trumpet)
-Me (bass/lead guitar/rhythm guitar and vocals)
-Mike (rhythm guitar/lead guitar)
-Zach (drums)

It seemed that we had most of the things we would need production and instrumentally-wise, and we also had a name. Now about the name, if you're a semi-decent detective, you probably thought the band name would be "Arrow to the Knee", right? Right, for the most part. It's actually kinda funny, because I just decided to name this project "Arrow to the Knee" after the meme (Skyrim ftw), because why not. I wasn't even thinking about it being the band's actual name. But after telling some others about the project and it's name, they seemed to think it was a pretty good name for the band as well, and I figured, "Why not?".
I found out why not about 4 hours after we had all agreed on the name. Turns out there's a small folk metal band from the UK (I'm guessing that Tamworth is in the UK, and I'm too lazy to find out otherwise) that also goes by Arrow To The Knee. They're about as far along as us, and they don't have any songs up or anything, but still.
That sucked, and we thought we would have to change our name to something else, and me and the other's are still debating whether to or not to change it. And I really hope we don't have to change, I was really starting to like that name. Although I want to keep the name the way it is, I'm still keeping my mind open to ideas.

On a different note, here's what I've done musically wise in the last 2 days:
-I've written the full lyrics to one song, but for that one song I still need to work on the music. Thinking of calling it "How Peaceful".
-I've written full music for a different song, but I have pretty much nothing lyrically for it. Don't really know what I'll call it yet.
-I'm half done with both the lyrics and the music for another song. I don't quite know what I'll call this one either.
-Worked on some random bass riffs and listened to a whole bunch of music.

So yeah, I'm really not sure what to do at this point except maybe work on the songwriting more, debate on whether or not to change the name of the group, and feel sorry for myself due to my emotional and personal problems (Oh, woe is me). I think that's about all that need's saying. I guess I'll update this thing tomorrow again, and I'll post anything I've forgotten today then. But until then... Я нaдеюсь, все вы замечательный день, и до встречи в следующий раз! Кроме того, если вы перевели это, вы выиграете печенье.
