we've been in the studio for the past couple weeks and i'm about to go in and lay down the vocal tracks, but i just wanted to share with you guys this one track and see what you thought of it.

it's a rough mix and there's no vocals but i think it can stand on its own as an instrumental piece. what do you think?

it's actually the second part/movement of the opening song on my band's EP.... enjoy.

You wrote a swing tune! Awesome!

Very nice. Reminds me of a lot of things (you know the bands I'm going to say)... Even sounds a little retro.

ya... I think we're going to change the band name before we get these CD's and all our new merchandise for the next year.

Currently the band name is Schming.
We're thinking about The Futurists. Thoughts?

I like Schming!!!
Don't change to a "The" name either. I'm going to a garage show this weekend and I swear 20 of the bands are "The" bands.

Stick with Schming... or else!


edit: You're adding vocals too? Wow I thought it was just insturmental. this song is going to be awesome!

... The Schmings? The 'The' thing is just so cliche.

Speaking of which, did anyone see the sum41 video for 'still waiting'?

WAITER: Here’s your green salad, sir.
ANAKIN: What? You fool, I told you NO CROUTONS! Aaaaaaargh!

It sounds great already without vocals, but to make it even more awesome, add some strings.

That song sounds great!

However, I don't really like the name "The Futurists." Anyway, there is already a band called "The Russian Futurists."

Sounds more to me like Red Hot Chile Peppers and The Eagles, but thats just me.
