The First Entry
Hello People,
Well this is something new, The Faults blogging, who would have thought it? Well that’s the idea anyway, whether this lasts is another thing but we're going to make a genuine effort to post a few a week depending on what shizzle has gone down in the life of an unsigned band member.
As Tommy will be reading this maybe its best that I start with some band news first. We had 2 practices this week (you don't get as good as us without, let me tell you Sunny Jim) and in both we tried to decide what songs we think are best to record at our impending recording session. Tommy has asked for a new producer this time so hopefully we will get the desired outcome that all of us in the band are after, well at least 3 of us and maybe Dave if he gets up on the right side of bed, which I don't think has happened since December 25th 1987?
Speaking of Dave, his beard has come along nicely since the last time you saw him. He's added a nice amount of depth and maybe a little 'Just for Men' as it does seem a lot darker than it has ever been before. I wonder if Izzie Gay* likes beards? If your reading and you do like men with beards get in touch at info@thefaults.co.uk.
(For those that don't know Izzie Gay* is a fan of Dave’s, she loved his floppy locks by all accounts. We in the band are only jealous though as he received the only piece of fan mail we've ever gotten)
So anyway, we've got it down to around 5 or so tracks and will be looking to record 3 of them which will be deciding on over the course of this week.
Not to much else happened on the band side of things really, Tommy made us wait around about 3 days for his 3G connection to kick so he could show us 2 songs he liked the guitar sounds of on Spotify. Really he should have just said:
Tom: Alright men, have you heard these two high profile songs that everybody has heard of?
The Faults: Yes?
Tom: Well I like the guitars
The Faults: cool
Tom: Right, who’s for some Yorkshire Tea (or whatever they drink up north)
So that’s about the band stuff out the way, Oh one other quick well done Al who is still successful at being a pro musician (unemployed) and also for managing to raise a little bit of money for the poor bastards out in Haiti. He's a lover of fund raising for charities, which is very commendable.
Moving on, I enjoyed the snow last week I know people get annoyed but how often can you walk around your town and deliver (leave on the door mat, ring the bell and run away) boxes of frozen ready meals that some old dear has dropped when her bag split carrying them home from the local Tesco to unsuspecting people? Answer me that!
Liverpool’s bid for fourth place took another nose dive after there draw with Stoke this week, all I can say is that its a good Job Rafa has guaranteed them fourth place or Tom would be panicking. Probably best I don't mention them crashing out of the FA Cup as Tom wouldn't appreciate that.
On the plus side Arsenal won again and we are looking like genuine contenders for the title should our injuries not get any worse than they all ready are. (Since I wrote this we lost to Stoke, still it was only our B team so not a big deal).
As we're new to blogging I'm sure if the length of this is right or wrong, but I still have a couple of bits to add on here so if its slightly longer than your daily dose of bloggery from elsewhere I am sorry but bare with us. Alternatively if you have got to hear but think wow I'm about done with reading this now, its going no where and the whole thing has been badly written, or again if your Izzie Gay* and just want to get in Dave Faults pants e-mail us at info@thefaults.co.uk.
Anyone reading this use Twitter? Then follow us! We do have a Twiter account and although it didn’t get updated much it will start to be now. So again you can see what its like to deal with practically the same issues you have everyday plus a slight mention of an instrument here or there or maybe a mention of a practice/gig.
We were invited to enter another 'International' competition this week and after the fix that was the breakout festival that can well and truly shove that invite firmly up their arse. One other quick mention to the guy who got back to Toms Gum Tree advert asking for a manager with some life changing advice about getting signed. Yes we have the unsigned guide but thanks for that bombshell you daft fuck and thanks for letting us know that you are friends with the owner of Wild Plumb and can get us some gigs with them. While I'm sure for some very rookie bands this might sound like a great idea the idea of working with that Fat Ethiopian, Money grabbing, 'I'll send the boys round', shit talking prick, makes me want to give up music (maybe not but I'm trying to be dramatic and for those of you were hoping that was true I can hear you Mum calling you back to bed!)
Anyway fans you have had enough of my rubbish for one day, if you like the idea drop us a line at
info@thefaults.co.uk and don't forget to check out our webpage www.thefaults.co.uk and also follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/thefaults both will be getting abit of an overhaul in the next few weeks so look out for that.
Until next time Fault Fans,
Captain B-rad.
