It's been so long since I wrote a blog that I almost couldn't even remember the password. I'm also not a massive fan of 'blogging' but its better than a really long facebook status!
It's been a totally crazy few months since April when I Iast blogged. So much has happened, so much experience and life lessons have been learnt. I've been working so solidly to the point where I've been completely burned out so many times but just keep working because there really isn't any time to waste. Gladly, I'm starting to see the benefits of all this hard work now and I'm now getting more mental and physical space for Evenu.
The songs are coming along nicely and for me personally, I'm definitely finding myself in a much better headspace for writing where ideas are flowing every hour of the day and my iphone is being packed with lyrical ideas and quick acoustic demos that happen to come to my head.
As the rest of the guys will notice, I've also gone back to a massively anal writing ethic which is where some of the best stuff comes from (in my oppinion). Our first song "Compass Theory" is going through its 5th chorus change in order to round this song off to its maximum potential. We also expanded the pre chorus into something which is vastly beyond its 4 bar rushed sequence, now a passage in the song which expands the song beyond a 3 minute rock song and giving our music a shelf life rather than being something to stop listening to after a few weeks.
We are also partly trying to find "our sound" and work better as a team, this is definitely happening now regular rehearsals have started again.
Turning 21 next month its only fair to myself that the music is the best I've ever been a part of. Its a great goal to set to out-do your previous efforts each time, it gives your efforts a greater cause and more worth to work so hard on everything else surrounding it.
The studio is the busiest its ever been and I've seen so many new faces over the past few months its truly a blessing to be so involved in the local music scene so intensely. With that, I really hope its as good for scene as it is for me, for thats exactly what I wanted to provide.
I should really stick to all thing "Evenu" strictly and not blab on about myself or the studio but ah well!
A lot of you have shown a great interest in the band which is awesome. There are currently 3 pronunciations going around ha! This is actually quite awesome, but for the record its pronounced "Even-yu". The "yu" being pronounced "you" and no, its not as in "Even You!". It doesnt mean anything, its a completely fabricated word that I thought sounded cool, derived from "avenue".
We are hoping for a september/october launch show most likely at Exeter Cavern. Setting our sights high it makes sense to headline, albeit a little prentious? Whatever! I'll be putting the show on myself and putting on 3 of the best new up and coming bands coming on to the scene right now. I wont say who I have in mind yet but they are all amazing and I hope I can get them on the bill with us!
I feel at this point on want to ramble on about me and my personal life but that needs to be saved for another time, another blog, and for people who might actually care!
For now I'm going to keep this blog strictly "Evenu" so no more studio/life updates! I'll make a seperate blog for those.
It's probably about time I gave the password to Ryan, Dave, and Sam so we can all pitch in! But on behalf of all of us, we're really excited to launch this new band properly and really make something of it. Keep an eye out for new developments and you shall be hearing from us shortly!
Ash (EVENU)
