I have started to record some demos so hopefully in the near future I can play live.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a live performer and I love playing live.
Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.
I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.
There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.
Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy.
I can't get that live and I don't have the time to take the tape, after I've finished recording it, into a little studio somewhere else where I can get a different kind of percussion sound.
We'll set up a demo session and try to knock out eight or ten songs and make them sound as close as we can to a record with the money and time we have.
Playing live is such a total visceral experience, and really, as a musician, you're trained from the beginning to be a live performer.
It's easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.
I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.
