I heard the Twitch sold 76 albums at their gig last night! Awesome going guys and gal! :-) Mark says he had fun doing the lights, coz he knew all the twitch songs on the album off by heart, and was able to do the lighting in sync with that.
I added a couple more demo songs to my myspace yesturday.
Am into mixing Rock songs, but I seem to write only soppy pop songs. haha, go figure! :-)
you can listen to one of the 11 songs on the album and watch a short vid on their myspace page:

opps, forgot that details :-) Thanks for pointing that out :-)
I live in Auckland.
Okay, I've got a drummer, so all I need to complete the "possible band" lineup is a guitarist and a bassist... and possibly a keyboardist. Some demos of my songs are available to be listened to on myspace... http://www.myspace.com/dragonorchid
my stuff is fairly pop Rock, so if you liked the 80s, ballads, Santana, corrs first album, Sade... you'll hopefully like it (not that I can sing like her,.. man, I wish!... I'm more of a hobby songwriter than a singer... but I might as well give it a go). I'm really looking for pro musicians looking for something fun to do in their spare time. being able to improvise and play by ear would be beneficial as I'll have demos that you can listen to, but I'm open to some improvisational input/jamming jazz/funk styles too... but I can also give you chord sheets if you need/want them too. If we all gel, I'll probably write songs with you too...
If you are interested you can contact me through myspace or through The Rock Factory link below:
just watched them, great work Blink. When is the next tour? Mark and I enjoy our trips to hamiltown ;-)
I agree, have seen them live a couple of times, and they are awesome...
hehe, AWESOME is a favorite word of mine. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME :-)
All hail the Admin... Thank you! :-)
Thank you guys, I LUV Miscreant :-) people should definately check out their single, it sounds mean.
Love that song. Groovey!
Thanks Jackie! :-) I sometime wish I had some more time... like a time warp "pause" button/ universal Remote control like funny guy adam sandler movie, so I could spend sometime on my own stuff :-D... "One Day I'll find a Way"... yes, muhahaha! :-P
opps Sorry Robyn, I was just trying to fit all the band names in the title.
Admin, feel free to delete it.
I have just put some new demos on my myspace profile. If you have some spare time, please give them a listen... I hope you like them :-)
