Ang Bandang Shirley Blog Entry # 1

Last night we recorded the vocal tracks for the Jing Gaddi-penned-opus Masamang Damo. I am very happy with the outcome of said recording session, as my vocal prowess is increasing and it showed in the multiple takes composited to form the wonderful vocal track I layed-in. Also, despite feeling under the weather, Selena managed another wow-performance demonstrating how awesome it is when both our vocals are done cleanly and done well (often it is my fault as to the dissonance between vocal lines ha ha) and the song is much better because of her efforts.

Mixing was performed and after a couple of level tweaks we have the very first album track off the soon to be released debut album! We will be submitting the said track to the Pulp office today along with a fun quirky band profile to finalize our entry into the World Battle of the Bands (WBOB). I feel like we have a good chance of placing high in the WBOB because I think we are one of the best bands in the world (next to Taken by Cars, ha ha).

A weird observation, I am beginning to enjoy screaming on the Shirley songs, and when the song calls for screaming (the screams on Masamang Damo were screams of anguish, as directed by KathyG and Joeyhloey) I seemed to perform fairly well. Maybe this can be incorporated in future songs?

Anyway, that is all I have to say, 'til the next blog by any of the members of the band! Goodluck to me in my bible study long quiz later this morning!
