IS that our new band name?

coz if it is it's still pretty good stuff. as we talk now the recording is being transferred to the computer. can't wait.

to answer coach's question honestly... i would just like to share with you, that it's been a childhood dream since seeing oasis live on stage, and their MTVs, that i would spend my productive homework time in their shoes, even if it's just to fantasize and have the dream shattered by parents of the practical establishment mentality who do not want their children to enter the entertainment industry.

instead of putting me in my place, music lets me get out of the skin that i have to wear when going to work, it lets me feel proficient in something more, another level of expressiveness that allows connection with people from punks to the jaded office worker to the person below the stage looking up at us play.

with such a desire to play gigs, i would think we have to put nervousness behind, heck even the quality of music is secondary as compared to our band chemistry, of making mistakes and following through and coming out still tight, as seen from the people watching us.

in short, please be brutal in asking improvement of us, coach. but that would be technical bits only. i would like to know what the others feel about where this band thing can go.

dee out.

Cool. I like your direction. :)

Most importantly now, I will only coach technical bits. For a person's sense of musicianship, I guess it will develop with time, and also studying the songs you like, and questioning why they go with certain chord progressions, how do they come up with the riffs, etc. For this part, it is up to individual, but do share any of your own understandings with the band, so we can cover each other's learning experience as well.

Upload any music theory/lesson that you think will be useful for the band.

Thanks, Dee.

Which name are you referring to? Delay No More, or Are You Lena?

None of it is not our official band name. I just fill them in randomly. Yes, I know the Cantonese 'translation' for Delay No More.
