Happy Birthday FNY

Good evening

Happy Birthday Facing New York!  Well, it’s a little early, but the unit and the bros as a collective were conceived January 1st, 2004.  So we’re turning 6 years old.  To celebrate, we’ve been rehearsing weekly and coming further along on new material.  Each new piece is an accumulation of that moment.  Not that the songs are improvised, but for example: Brandon suggested I read “To a God Unkown,” his favorite book.  Sorry if I wasn’t supposed to make that public, Brandon.  Anyway, the song resulting, mostly written by Brandon, is this monolithic, pagan forest thing.  It sounds like tree trunks.  Just a glimpse into our haphazard / apeshit composition techniques.

Just starting learning saxophone.  Our myspace got hacked, so we have a totally pathetic wet paper towel of a web page in its place.  Will fix that soon.  Reading more, appreciating the weather, and anticipating a fruitful 2010.  Let’s play some shows.
