we did a gig today

2008-09-14T00:31:00.003+02:00

Jessica sang 6 songs with me, and special guset Beat Riggenbach this afternoon, at a semi-private party today near Basel. I played piano and Cajon, and Jessica sang. It was our first public appearance with the "new" small idea of just me, Jessica, some backing tracks and maybe a guitarist (still to be found) I haven't forgotten our "new" song (likes to put the word "new" in inverted commas today) just need a bit more time to get some real guitar on it.

had a lesson today...

2008-09-06T14:07:00.004+02:00

with rick Latham

Worked on some great concepts, kinda got me into wanting to play more drums again, oh yes, and I bought a cajon also

Anyway feel free to leave millions of comments

some people have more time than me

2008-06-28T12:33:00.002+02:00

I'm constantly amazed at what songs people choose to make midi files from (and where they get the time without government grants etc.)

Here are 3 of my favorites covering the whole gamut from sublimo to ridiculo

the thunderbirds theme

steely dan's "aja"

Jethto Tull's "thick as a brick" - yes all of it!!

another free song to download!!

2008-06-23T22:34:00.002+02:00

Get it, and tell us what you think of it

Mike and Jessica

we are reforming the "old" band for a one off gig on the 18th June (under the old name - "dust") at the 9 stadium in Bubendorf - we couldn't really not do it as it is a chance to do another stadium gig with a great sound team. And a great chance to reach about 5000 people - see you there

what wearedust iz listening to right now

2008-06-05T13:30:00.003+02:00

We are really enjoying "white bread black beer" by scritti politti

I've cancelled our waldbuehne.ch page.. here's why

2008-02-16T14:47:00.000+01:00

wearedust and 500 other bands were down with a chance to play at the gurtenfestival, here in CH in the summer
here's the link
I decided to take our page off for a few reasons.
1. I know this is Switzerland and no one takes us seriously, but 95% of the stuff that's there is crap. I can remember an email sent to us by the organizer of the festival in 2001, telling us our demo CD was the best thing his office had received in months. This is the same guy who has now fallen into the "trial by voting" mentality that seems to have pervaded life a bit.
2. I just don't want to be associated with all that crap. What we're doing IS BETTER THAN THAT
3. I don't want to feel that I am "competing" with 499 other bands, (good or crap) I still do have a bit of the "we're all in this together" mentality
Anyway, blah blah blah, rant rant, etc etc

assorted pics through the years
