SHOULD I TRY SOMETHING A TAD DIFFERENT?

As I get ready for these two upcoming gigs this weekend, I realized something. Between the two bands, I am doing ninety songs!!!

That’s like, um, a lot.

I am very much looking forward to throwing down with Supernova again at the legendary Black River Barn this Friday night. And then the next afternoon will be my debut sub gig with Vinyl Renegades at Marcella Community Center. No, it’s not my music that people will be clapping to, but I at least get to play to nice crowds.

I like that.

So what about my music? Huh?

I have been listening to the demos, not to come up with melodies but to just enjoy the vibes. I’ve written some pretty cool stuff. Easy to say, really. But while it’s been two years since my last cd (remember ACT NATURAL?), the new stuff I’ve been cooking up dials back a bit on the aggressiveness but is still quite heavy. Yet tuneful and melodic, even without extra melodies on top. Which begs the question..

Should I make a short teaser with one of the guitar demos for everyone to hear?

Anyone who knows me knows that I always do rough guitar demos, recorded into the Tascam and then uploaded to Bandlab for some tweaking so they could a bit more listenable. I might do a quick fade-in/fade-out on a future blog, or even a “shorts” clip on YouTube. Think if people hear something/anything (Todd Rundgren?) from me, they might have their interest piqued?

What do you think?

I will leave a vote tab below. And will wait a week to see the results. If I get a lot of thumbs-up, then I will make a teaser clip. If I get a lot of negative responses, then I do nothing.
