HOLY FLARKING SNIT!!
And if I wasn’t posting this in a place where my mother could potentially be reading this, you can guarantee the title would be MUCH MUCH more R-rated than that.”What’s all the hub-bub, bub?” you may ask?I’m talking about Sunday, bloody Sunday. April 5th, 2009. The Day Nickelback Roared Into Town.”Ok, you went to a rock concert,” you may be thinking.No, my dear friend, it goes WAAAAAY beyond all that.You see, I’ve been a Nickelback fan since 1998. Ever since I first heard “Fly”, “Window Shopper”, …continue reading
You’ve GOTTA See This.
Today, I made quite possibly the greatest find in the history of the Internet. And, it came courtesy of the Ellen show! Imagine that. But, I just had to share! Everyone love those goofy Ukranians. And we all know that the Ukranians love their polkas. How can you not love a Ukranian polka? Especially when it’s done to the tune of Katy Perry’s "Hot N Cold". PURE. GOLD. Anyway, have a look-see. …continue reading
And That’s Why It’s Good To Be…
*raises an eyebrow*…Me.No, this post isn’t about how fabulous and awesome I am – I’ll save that for a later date.This post is a quick note about celebrated author, marketing tycoon, and businessman extraordinaire. Did I also mention he’s the front man for rock icons KISS?That’s right. Good ol’ Gene Simmons.I was never really much of a KISS fan. Aside from my days as a youngster, where I really liked the song Crazy Nights, and sang with it repeatedly at high volumes during bath times. Too much information, …continue reading
The Thump Is Dead. Long Live The Thump.
Just a quick note to let everyone know there’s been a shake up in the land of Cadence Thump. If anyone’s read the Official Cadence Thump Blog, Dave says that I left the band because of a need to “pursue my job”.I’m not going to get into too much mudslinging, but this is the root of the problem of why I left the band. But, I told you, dear reader, that in this blog I would be utterly honest and would pull no punches.The REAL problem was communication, or lack thereof.Dave preaches the need for communication, …continue reading
What’s shaking the house?
So, things have been getting pretty cool over in Cadence Thump land, as I said in my last post. Dave and I recorded a ton of guitar tracks so that I can sit down and write some bass lines. Well, I wanted to be able to write some cool bass lines, and therefore I figured an easy way might be to have more notes available to play with.Who am I kidding? I’ve wanted a six-string bass since I was 16 years old. And finally, on Friday, after 15 long years, I got my wish.Feast your eyes on THIS!Drop-D tuning …continue reading
Thumpin’ Right Along…
What a week it’s been for Cadence Thump (bloggy) this past week.I know Dave was a little frustrated that we weren’t moving along as fast as he’d liked. Dave is uber-passionate about this band, and wants it to succeed so much, he can actually taste it. He really can. Last week, we really only had one song in the can, but this week it’s like someone hit a switch, and the group just suddenly had all this chemistry, it was just crazy. At the end of a long jam session, Nemmy just started playing Shinedown’s …continue reading
What Goes “Thump” In The Night?
Winnipeg’s newest rock and roll quintet, that’s what.After being screwed around in the last band I was in a couple years ago, I finally got the itch to play again, and it just so happened that a friend of a friend was looking to put a project together. So, my aforementioned friend Nemmy (whose real name will never be used online in this blog, but can be found over at MySpace here) introduced me to his friend Dave (clicky).We met, hit it off, and thought we might be able to accomplish something together.Wait …continue reading
