Topic: Colt 45 @ Mr Kyps!
Hey all, apologies for not being on here so often any more Over the past couple of months,, I've hardly used the internet, and only really been on facebook a few times a week when someone's tried to contact me or for something band-related...
Basically, we've had to get our heads down a lot now, constantly trying to promote ourselves, getting gigs, and more importantly, writing in the studio!
This, and, I almost had to tell myself off a few weeks ago, when I got some A-Level Results back from some module exams in January... For Maths, Physics, and Further maths, I got grades B, U, and U respectively,, so thing's weren't good This was the biggest wake-up call I've ever had, when I thought to myself (as Joe would say): 'Self',, you only have one chance in this education - as much as you can go back and try again at college, you just need to achieve and not procrastinate... So it's been a case of doing as much work as I possibly can, revising, revising, revising, and working, working, working... And hey, along the way, it's motivated me to practise guitar even more and write some slightly more adequate songs
So again, sorry for my absense... It's only been recently that I've just felt like I'm working myself a little 'too' hard, and thought I need some self-time, and time to actually socialise more again And boy, this place was something I really had missed, so I'll make SURE I get on here far more often, and start posting more again!
I've been posting more over these past few weeks, as I got MAAAJORLY excited over the release of Dust Bowl, which I just have to say, bar 'You & Me', it has to be Joe's Best work to date
Now on the subject of the man himself, it gives me great pleasure, to remember a night back in August 2007, when I was able to catch Joe at a local venue of mine: Mr Kyps, in Poole, which Joe actually refered to as 'his spiritual home',, this was the first time I ever saw him live, and I was AMAZED - it was this night, that I was truly inspired to work harder at the guitar, and I feel I would'nt be where I am today, if it weren't for him... So, when I found out that my band, Colt 45, will be playing there THIS Friday?!?!?! Well, my heart jumped with joy, and I'm pleased to announce, that this Friday, we will finally be making our first performance there!
