SILENCE TO SONG

Every band is a little man behind a curtain. in some cases the metaphor is less metaphorical. Anyway, we thought it might be a cool little thing to show how we go from silence to song…. take you behind our little curtain; have you meet the little man.

Throws music usually begins on an acoustic guitar or similar thing. A few words here and there, a melody, a couple chords. And over a (sometimes torturous) process of rehearsing, demo-ing, and finally recording… the song takes shape. And eventually, years later… we can barely remember how it started. Some songs come easily, and you love them for it. Others are a fight… a struggle to not give in and simply do the “easy” thing. On the other hand, sometimes the “easy” thing is the best thing. Understand the dilemma?

So over the next few weeks, we’ll be blogging or “vlogging” about a song that will be on the new record. We’re just about to get into the studio with it, so stay tuned for more pieces of this puzzle.

“The first rock n roll record took eight hours to make. The next one took even longer.” ~George Harrison
