The Lottery League posts here at the ClevelandSeen will be sporatic from here on out, one can still follow my updates of band practices complete with photos, video & mp3s, here [sissybar.blogspot.com].
I was chosen [via the letter L] in the *bonus* round of the 2010 Lottery League by band #27 now known as "The Elks". Our second practice was this past tuesday evening, this night consisted mostly of refining the two songs that were written during the first practice and creating a third ballet-type song.
It appears that the longest song is going to come in at the 3 minute range with the others being approximately half that length.
The video below has The Elks working on that 3rd song, keep in mind that any video/audio I post here are rough takes, the structure of these songs have changed from practice to practice [yes, both of them].
Our band consists of Nate Scheible [drums], Matt Jauch [guitar], Chris Rood [bass], Greg Miller [lead vocals] & me, Lou Muenz [visuals, theramocals, other].
"New Fez, New Suit" was the first song the band worked on and practiced together, Greg had the idea of the band being Pseudo-Elks as in the mens fraternal social club that meet up at gathering places called "Lodges". The video below is the latest rendition of the song, the Mp3 below that was the first practice rendition.
