2 months to go until the Joey Ultra debut gig so it's time to knuckle down a little bit. We spent last night consolidating some of the songs we've written and recording them for posterity (so we can remember how they go exactly). It was the best rehearsal so far I thought. The recordings sound relatively shocking which could either be down to the 1 mic in the middle of the room recording style or our general lack of quality. It was the best session so far though. I really enjoyed it

We've slacked off writing new songs a little bit, after the initial few ideas worked really quickly very little of the later stuff has really worked. I need to make some time to come up with some ideas. I'm still not really sure what Joey Ultra's sound is. Somewhere between Metal, Shoegazing Indy, Blink 182 and the Libertines. But where's the common ground?

I've been so minimalist with guitar playing recently I need to get back into the headspace of playing and writing using proper riffs and chords rather than just playing the same 2 notes over the whole song. Actually, I think the fewest I used was 3 notes on Schmindie by Müf but I was trying to get down to 2 or even 1. Joey Ultra isn't really that kind of band though.
