CSIS: Begin The Begin - R.E.M.

 Finally decided to start a new band. Calling it The Factoid Club. Not a full band yet. Just a guitar and me. Lots over songs built up since I left previous band. Looking for people to play with. But not really. 

I’m in the band too. I play the drums. Well, the snare. The Singer doesn’t want me using a full drum kit. He put me in charge of online stuff and pretty much everything that isn’t writing music. I told him I would start a blog. He said that was an idea and said he would provide notes to put online. He did ask me to clean up what he wrote but I don’t feel like doing that. His writing will be bold. Mine won’t be.

The band is indeed called the Factoid Club. Not sure where he came up with the name. I have asked. He hasn’t revealed it so far.

He asked that I don’t use our names in the blog. I was told to refer to myself as The Drummer and refer to him as The Singer. He said people won’t care who were are. I kind of agree since no one knows about our band yet. Hopefully that will change.

The band started at the end of July.  The Singer put up a flyer at Guitar Center asking for musicians who want to get together to make music that pairs well with pizza rolls at 3 in the morning. I wasn’t so much intrigued as much as I was hoping to get some free pizza rolls.

We did eat pizza rolls after the first practice. It wasn’t at 3 AM though. The Singer dips his pizza rolls in Koop’s Arizona Heat mustard. He says it’s really good but I don’t believe him.
