Garage (21062011)

This is the complete recording of all the jams we played live on the DREtv tuesday (21st June 2011).
I did editing on this as quick as possible for those who might be disappointed by the bad quality of the webcast.

As I told before, Max couldn't play with us because of his summer job and the lack of vocal parts on these recordings made us declare him as the official vocalist of the band.

Webcast #1 (debriefing)

Howdy folks !

A big "thank you !!!" to those who watched us play tuesday afternoon. Any comments welcome (even bad or angry ones).

It didn't really turned into what I expected but it was really representative of the way we usually rehearse.
The usual joke about drummers is that they're always late at rehearsals and ... it's true ! Sorry for the ones who might be compulsivly obsessed with hours, we started 3 hours late because Gwendal missed his train being hooked on phone with his mother and had to wait 2 hours for next one and we took time to cook and eat some pasta.

I'm sure some of you might thinked we are a bunch of wankers while waiting an half-hour after we played 30 minutes but it's the way we rehearse and our plan was to immerge you into it and chat while not playing but unfortunatly, wi-fi connection cut when moving the macbook 10cm ahead so taking it with us outside the garage wasn't possible and not so many people showed up in the chat.

The worst thing about this webcast might be audio/video quality, I know watching a pixelised form moving while hearing distorted sound isn't a pleasant thing but it's the price to pay for an amateur live webcast.
But don't worry, nothing's lost because Simon managed to shoot about 1/3 of all jams in HD with his gopro and nearly everything was recorded by the H2 (the electric razor on a mic stand in the middle of the room) so I'm going to edit all recordings soon to make a proper record (I have one week left before starting my summer job) and hand the record to Simon for editing the gopro footage (or edit it myself if my laptop don't turn into a fire) and upload cool stuf on our vimeo profile.

As for now, you can (re)watch the whole webcast on Ustream (sorry for the ads and shitty quality) while waiting for record and gopro film :

Webcast #1 (Update)

Howdy folks !

Ustream channel I linked in the previous post looks like Simon's but saturday night, he told me he can't remember his ID and password si I just created a channel for tomorrow's webcast.
Here it is : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thedretv

Gwendal still don't know if he'll be able to come and he thinks anyway about getting his ass back to Lille in the evening to see some local bands play. So, this rehearsal might turn into a very special and experimental session as a trio (don't worry, we can spend all night playing kaossilator in front of the gopro if we have to). Kinda thrilled about it right now, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Hope to see you tomorrow, we might spend some time chatting with watchers if there are some (might not be sober while doing this which could add fun to it).
Keep music evil,
W

PS : Last minute update : Gwendal confirmed he will attend the rehearsal but he would like to go back to Lille around 6/ 7PM (UTC+1). Tomorrow's webcast might definitely be interesting, so be sure to tune in there around 11/11.30AM (UTC+1).

Webcast #1

Hi there !

We're going to rehearse tuesday and, as it's the "fête de la musique" (for people outside France, June 21st is, since 1981, the day for music celebration in the whole country and that day, any band can play in the streets or wherever they want all day and all night long), we're going to webcast our rehearsal session.

We would have appreciated to play a live show in a street in front of strangers but Max is currently working in a well known French theme park (not Disneyland Paris) and will not be able to play with us this time and, to be honest, we're still kinda band of wankers with no properly written tracks so we hope to play live in front of an audience soon but we've got a lot of hard work between now and then.

Webcast will stream live, probably there : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thedreexperience (any change will be noted here and on my myspace page).
We'll be at Simon's housearound 10AM (French hour time) so let's say that stream will start around 11 / 11.30 and last as long as it have to.

I think that highlights will have sound from the cam changed for H2 recordings and will land on our vimeo page soon after along with a new collection of recordings.

Anyway, keep an eye here or on our myspace for any news.
Stay away from bad trips,
W
