So guess what we're doing today and tomorrow? We're going to be at Command Recording Studios out in Valencia, CA recording our first 3-song EP! A "demo" if you will. And what's the next step in the plan after that? Finding our first show to play! February is the month where we're really going to accomplish things, find our ways into people's ears, and hopefully build an initial, local, fan base. The whole band is pretty excited to get things started. Things are definitely taking shape, and we hope you all appreciate the videos we're putting up. We in turn, appreciate you watching them and keeping up with our happenings in general! We think it gives a better inside look to what we're about, who we are as people, and as a band making music we believe in. Brent our manager is going to be at the studio with us recording on video as we make our first record as a band. He's also going to be putting up individual band member interviews over the next week too. That way you all out there on the interwebnet can see a bit of our different perspectives and personalities. Anyways, please stay tuned and check back for the recording studio video and interviews! If you are a new comer, check out our introduction post and catch up a bit on things, and become a fan on facebook and myspace!
Here's a video of us in our one last practice before recording this weekend. It's from Thursday the 28th, and we're playing one of the three songs that's going to be on the demo. It's called "Siren". The sound quality's a bit rough because it was recorded on video camera and inside of a tiny studio practice room. You can still make out our sweet melodies and tunes though! Give a look and listen and tell us what you think! Feel free to be perfectly honest of course. Enjoy.
Hey everyone, Photoshoot #1 Hope you guys like our new blog title picture! It's one of the many great photos taken by our friend Ryan Guzdzial (RyanGuzdzialPhotography.com). I think we made an awesome addition to his portfolio. We had our very first photoshoot as Morrownow with him in the beginning of December 2009. The shoot was about 2 hours long, and luckily the location was provided for free by some loving people on craigslist! I made a little video with some behind-the-scenes footage from the photoshoot with some resulting photos included. There are a couple hilarious moments included too. Some of our favorite shots are below. Take a look and tell us what you think. We want to know!
BIG Plans So we're scheduled to record our first EP album at the end of this month on the 30th and 31st. After we record, it'll take about a week of turnaround for the music to get cut and produced. Once we get it back, it's going straight to the CD production line! Make sure you ask us for a copy! I (Brent) will be in the studio with Morrownow, filming and recording... while they themselves record. That video will be cut and made too. Things are going to progress very quickly in February and it's probably going to be one of the most exciting months of our prospective careers! This might very well be... the beginning of big things to come! Right as February begins, we'll be on the search to play our very first show as Morrownow. In tow will be our first printed promotional material and some more photos. We had two photoshoots remember? The photos from our second one aren't completed yet, but we're anticipating those the most at the moment. Be sure to check back for the release of those including a video for that shoot in the next couple weeks.
Here are the video and photos. Enjoy and tell us what you think!
A brand new year! A fresh beginning, and the start of things to come... Sorry about the lack of updates. The holidays came around, so the members of the band were with their respective loved ones celebrating. We're starting things up again now and Hope you all had a Happy Holiday season.
Here are a few things on the Morrownow agenda: 1. Record our 3 song demo at the end of this month. 2. Band member video interviews. Each member will be interviewed so you all can get to know them, and what makes them tick! 3. The release of our photos from our photo shoots! Also with video footage. 4. Rent our own lock-out practice room. 5. Gig!
As you can see, we've got a big list of progress to go through, so stay tuned and keep up with our progression! The band interviews should be up here one by one.
Bryan - Drums
Tom - Bass/Vocals
Jason - Guitar/Vocals
Josh - Vocals/Guitar
In 2009 Josh Cary (guitar, vocals) conceived of Morrownow as a banner for the release of "Courting a Fall", a relationship album comprised of work composed while attending Fairfax High School. Through talks with close friends Bryan Ducre (drums) and Jason Tapia (guitar, vocals) a band was formed that same year. By November, Tom Pharo (bass, vocals) lent his talents to the movement and the group has since begun writing original material and showcasing their sound in and around Hollywood. In January 2010 they recorded their first EP which is available in online stores NOW!
