Touring the world...

on a jet plane. Yes, you just read that correctly. Jet plane.

Last night while taking a 2 hour study break, Gryllz and I managed to play a 3 song set list, that ended in Aerosmith's Train Kept a Rollin', taking Berlin by storm. And now that we have a jet, we can tour the States! 

As we played a couple gigs in San Francisco and LA, Gryllz took this opportunity to sing a few songs while I played the drums, sort of... Quiet hours started at 10pm last night and since the drums make too much noise, I had to resort to using the ABXY buttons instead. At first it was epic fail, but then I got smart and turned the drum set around, which made it so much easier to button smash. In fact, it was so easy that Gryllz and I were able to get 5 stars in a row, several times, while playing hard.

These past few days have been an excellent week for the Shenanigans. We managed to get both a tour bus and a jet. Our next goal is to get a Sound Guy. I have a feeling that will be accomplished over winter break, at least for those of you who come to LA to play. But we'll see how far we advance in Rock Band because at our next band sesh I'll have The Beatles.

Also, tryouts for John Lennon will be during winter quarter so start warming up those vocal chords.



If anyone wants to take a study break from finals and jam, let me know and I'll hook it up because I'm always down to rock out. My last final is on Tuesday and I'll be here until Thursday so if you want to play...

Ready to be the next John Lennon?

Yeah, you better be.

After much research and little contemplation, I decided to buy The Beatles Rock Band... along with Rock Band 2 and an extra guitar. So when winter quarter begins, I hope you kids are ready to rock.


But first, we have some business to attend to. Who's going to be who? I've called dibs on Ringo Starr. And after much deliberation Gryllz will be Paul McCartney and Loryn, George Harrison. (Loryn, if you don't want to be the guy who dies of lung cancer let me know...)


John Lennon anyone?

Normally I'd give it to the first person who asks, but John Lennon is just too good to give away so there will be tryouts for anyone who wants to be the guy who gets shot. Keep in mind, you must be both musically talented as a singer and a guitarist... or at least be better than everyone else. No pressure.
