Preons 5/23 at the High Dive
In the musical landscape, electric guitar is my home town although I occasionally stray across the tracks. I currently play in a couple of bands, each of which is in a different style. My favorite current project is The Preons, which I joined a few months ago as their bassist, auditioning at the suggestion of a co-worker who plays trumpet and keyboards. It’s a great experience to play with a good musician like him, and it challenges me to write music in a new style. The band tends to write music in the “Indie Pop” genre, incorporating some interesting and unexpected harmonic structures in songs. It keeps me on my toes as a musician since I need to compose bass lines against unusual chord changes. This is also an opportunity to develop some of my song fragments that always wind up sitting on the hard drive at home.
We have a gig on Wednesday 5/23 at The High Dive in Seattle. We’re first on the bill and will be starting at 9:00 PM. With some luck (and few rehearsals) we might be ready to debut a few new songs at this show. I’ll definitely be playing some songs with the Warwick Corvette, and perhaps experimenting with some new effects as well.
