Let Me Try Again...

hi peeps...

as i've said in my candyaudioline blog, "i've been very busy during the past few days. work has swallowed up most of my time"... not giving me a chance to tell you the recent news about soft pillow kisses... so here it goes...

candyaudioline bassist arjay has been replaced by superminty bassist william as soft pillow kisses bassist. there was an attempt on my part to scout another bassist but william has begged me to let him be a permanent member of pillow. recently, i met-up with an interested prospect. gave her a copy of all the songs we every recorded. just last tuesday, she backed out citing her work as the main reason for not being able to try out... i've decided to give in to william's request...

i offered arjay to play keyboard for the band. he readily agreed but until now he has yet to practice with us...

soft pillow kisses vocalist eloha was almost booted out of the band by your's truly just last tuesday due to issues about her not being with us during practice and in the process spoiling our live performances with her quite embarrassing, way out of tune singing... be were able to talk to each other and she assured me that she doen't want to leave the band and that she had valid reasons for not going to recent practice sessions... everything was resolved that same night and during practice, eloha, inspite of nursing a bad cold, sang really well that night. specially on the newer songs because it was as if the songs were custome made for her...
my recent bout of depression has somehow ended my 3 year song writing drought... in the past 4 weeks, i was able to come up nearly 10 songs, 6 of which are complete. of the 6 one has gone from candyaudioline to soft pillow kisses... 2 songs has been played-live twice already by soft pillow kisses. two more have been recently given its final pillow treatment leaving just one song polished... these 6 songs has recently inspired me to again, go after my "ALMOST FORGOTTEN GOAL" of putting out an album or even an ep via foreign indie lable... plans are being made. hopefully we'll start recording the songs as soon as i'm damned dead sure that all of the new songs has reached its maturity...


tonight we might demo 4 of these 6 songs...

i would like to thank Apol (ex-pillow vocalist) for convincing me to give eloha a chance to air her side...

thanks also to selena for reformatting this blog...
