My new band! Upcoming Battle Of The Bands and Scrubs!

Yes! As you may know, I have a new band.
Performing wise, this is very different to what I'm used to. In the JONNY SNIPERS! - we're very much an Enter Shikari tribute band. So of course, I'm used to running round like a headless chicken on stage to some form of mixture between hard rock and drum'n'bass. Of course whack in some dubstep with a heavy bass line and voila! You have my band's music.

At the next Battle Of The Bands, indeed it is going to be our drummers last gig with us. We have in fact already found a replacement.

In our last performance at Battle Of The Bands, we did okay. First ever gig on stage for all three of us and to be quite honest, we did pretty well. We came second to ESG. Wracked with nerves before going on, I couldn't help but worrying about choking and making a complete tool of myself. Gocher and Pat were pretty relaxed but despite them being just as important to me in the songs, one or two hiccups - people tend to not really recognize. Of course, doing vocals people really notice if they know the song. We went out there and put on quite a show really.

But yes, this time. More songs, big set, bigger crowd (hopefully) and something is for sure more confidence. This time, we're gonna go out there and make sure we win. I know it's all for the experience and for charity but this time, we've practiced our asses off and not to sound arrogant but I think we're gonna put on quite a show.

Moving on from the JONNY SNIPERS! is my new band which is more of a 'side project'.. We are called 'The Loud Majority'. We are more of a punk-pop/rock band. This is a lot different to what I'm used to but we want to perform other songs and keep the Enter Shikari songs separate.

More about this band is that it involves 5 people including two front vocalist with me and Abi Webber which shall be rather cool. I'm used to being up there on my own. I haven't actually heard what Abi's like yet and she's helping me with one of the songs at the upcoming Battle Of The Bands with the JONNY SNIPERS! This band at the moment is more pulling itself together at the moment before we work on some songs. I'm proper excited about all this though.

Anyway, haven't mentioned by script in a couple of blogs. What is going on with that? Well, nothing. Not at the moment. You ever get those moods where you're working on something and you just really can't be fucked to do it, no matter how you look at it? Your brain just says no. For me personally, this is a pain in the ass because I haven't really got much more to do in this first episode but the motivation is lacking! It's not that I've lost passion for it or anything it's just... I can't really put my finger on what it is? My mind just doesn't want to do it despite me being mega bored and so un-busy it's unreal.

One last thing. I really find it a shame how Scrubs has lost its way. As you might of heard, ABC have canceled the show. It was funny, just not Scrubs funny. It had drama of Lucy being crippled by expectations from her family and how difficult medical school is.. But it didn't have drama like Scrubs 1-8 had. I think how the show was done, crossing comedy and drama was amazingly done. For me, comedy and drama is like rock and drum'n'bass. People will forever say it won't work but in my opinion, it's been proved wrong several times. It was so cleverly done. Scrubs isn't Friends funny but the relationships between the characters were amazingly funny. How Elliot and JD always wanted to be together and how JD saw Cox as his dad which he hated but secretly loved. Obv JD and Turk with there bromance etc etc. Carla and Elliot hating each other and then becoming best friends. The show was perfect. Season 9 did not have this. Lucy and Cole didn't have this 'pulling factor'. It wasn't supposed to be another JD and Elliot because it's repeating but after JElliot, no other couple matched it. I loved Denise in the new season and season 8. She's this sexy, rock of a woman and I think how Drew and her got together was so brilliant. In all honesty, I loved that about Season 9. Finally, I think the new hospital didn't have the Scrubs feel. Memories were gone. It was this school crossed with a hospital which I couldn't EVER see working. All in all, great effort. Some great actors in there but just couldn't quite sit together. Should it been left at season 8? 80% of me said yes. The 20% was my sheer love for the show and didn't want it to end.

Anyway, I've definitely rambled.
Cheers big ears! xx
