Happy (Willy's coming back and i made some future related decisions)

William arrives at the 23rd to Macau! And I was looking around for colleges I think I found one that  my needs. It's Guildhall University, and has a great course on classical guitar, which is what i intend to study. I'm also considering Trinity, it's a great one. Got some friends over in UNI but thats not my style. It's mainly Jazz/ Funk.

Cheers,

Update (Finally)

Yo Yo Yo! How are you doing good people?

I finally decided to update this blog. A month has gone by and (wow) so many things changed. For starters   -12 is no longer. I rejoined TLS and so there was no point in having  -12 by it being exactly the same band as TLS. So right now I'm in Absinthe and TLS. Giving more focus to Absinthe (well, the o lack of resources for TLS doesn't help). Getting focused and excited, since the "music season"is about to start. Absinthe is gonna play a set of 4 songs in the amazingly, self centered Lusofonia festival, which starts on the 23rd of October, Friday. Incidently, we'll be playing on the 23rd, at around 8:20 (but don't quote me on that one)
Anyways, if anyone's interested, here's the song set:

Mundo ao Contrário- Xutos e Pontapés
Leva-me Contigo- Duarte Rosado
Sweet Child O'Mine- Guns N'Roses ( with a guest appearance, Bad Willy will be playing the lead)
My Everything- Absinthe (yes, its an original composition)

So we're not quite sure about the "My Everything"song. We're gonna work on it tommorow, and if we don't get it polished by Thursday, we'll play "Turn it Off"by Paramore.

I never got the chance to say, but we did auditions for Absinthe and I can proudly say, Pedro Silva is our new Lead guitarist, and I can also say I'm proud with his work 'till now.

Anyways about TLS now,

We're gonna have a show on a popular restaurant called "Miramar", on the 30th of October. It should be around  I dunno, 8-9 PM, and finish late. I think it's gonna be open for public so when I make sure it is I'll make sure I notify you. Still don't have a stable setlist, but I can tell you we're atleast gonna play:

Sweet Child O'Mine- Guns N'Roses
She Builds Quick Machines- Velvet Revolver
All the Small things- Blink 182
21 Guns - Green Day

We're thinking about playing mostly classical rock, so you might as well see us play "Welcome to the Jungle"or "It's so easy". Mostly GnR's stuff


Oh almost forgot to mention!

Tommorow we're having an Absinthe photoshoot, so we're gonna record a few songs, maybe we'll post them on youtube and some cool edited photos. But I'll post them here.

and finally some personal news.

thanks to the most important person in the world, who bought me a ticket, I'm going with her to the amazing Green Day concert in Hong Kong, on the 16th of January! I'm thrilled! Green Day has always been my favourite band and Billie Joe Armstrong is one of my idols

Well with nothing to say at the moment, I'm gonna go sleep 'cuz It's gonna be a very crazy week


cheers,
