The Musical Month of June

Hey Guys and Girls,

So this is my first post on my blog. The idea of this blog is to keep everyone updated on what I get up to. Now this might be music, drumming, gigs, photography and anything I might feel like adding. so lets get cracking and check out what has gone down in the Storm Awesome camp this month.

Earlier in the month, Jenna Sighed entered the Emerging Sounds Battle of the Bands. We played an amazing show and are now going through to the Semi Finals to be held in October. Also, I did an amazing couple photo shoot for Matt and Tash. I am currently editing them and they will be up on my Photography page soon. I was also able to take part in a photo shoot with Lionel Lodewick from Tutto Fotografia and  Cherry Awesome. The vibe we were going for was a 1950’s pin up shoot. Also currently editing them and they will be on my page soon.

Two weeks back I signed my Agreement and became an Official Endorsee for Music Mate Parkmeadows. This is truly a dream come true and I made my first purchase with them as Endorsee last Saturday. It’s not everyday that you encounter great service from a Company. And everyone is so helpful. Monday I was a guest on the Oddcast. For those of you who are not aware. The Oddcast is podcast run by Odd Modlin and Ian Campbell. Their podcast dives into the whimsical world of geek life, games and interesting rants. I spoke to them about my music, photography, the industry and nipples. It was very fun.

Last Sunday I was at Wired Sound Studios in Parktown and we were recording the drum tracks for Energy Related’s album to be re-released “Strings of Life”. The guys there are super awesome and we had a really productive day and finished all 13 drum tracks in a few short hours. This weekend coming the rest of the band is going in to record the Guitars and bass and Sunday we finish up with the lead and backing vocals. Also this weekend, Jenna Sighed is playing an Emalyth show tilted Lure of Shadows. The show will be based at Rumour Lounge which is situated in the West Rand off Cornelius St. The venue holds capacity for lots of moshing and the sound set up is something to die for. Truly looking forward to the show and I trust everyone will keep that in their diaries. And finally next week Saturday which is the 30th June, we will be playing at the Black Apples Productions: Punk VS Metal show. This is also one not to miss as it will be held at the Doors Nightclub and the line up is definitely worth checking out.

Well thats it from the Awesome. I hope you enjoy my first blog and the idea is to get one out at least once a month otherwise they can get way too long :)

I will see you at either a show, photo shoot or somewhere else !
