Come and see us perform at UL
So, the rehearsing is nearly done and our 45mins on stage at the Performing Arts Centre in the basement of the UCH in UL happens tomorrow at 1.15pm.We will be performing a set of 8 or 9 original songs – come and see us!
Time Lapse Chaos
The time lapse movie turned out to be a nice momento of the rehearsal at my house. Initially I chose Chaos and Calm because it was the right sort of length, but it’s hard to think of a better soundtrack for the film.

Afraid to go to school that day, I was shocked and dazed inside
Fearful of the future in a sad and wounded land
The meaning of the sacrifice, I could not understand
