Taiko Heart Beat

Big Brother is Watching
Hanging out, and taking a break at rehearsal.

So, we have been feverishly rehearsing our new material, which has been pretty intense. At the time of recording several of the tracks had never been played as a whole band, so it is amazing to finally get to see how it will all go down in the real world.
Fun times ahead.

CD Release Show Set List

Tonight the rhythm section got together to run though all the new songs and decide on what we're going to play for our release shows. Here's what we're going to play...in this order.

warning call (ken)
detonate
headlights (extra drum)
tell me will we (ken, extra drum)
desperation w/ original intro
flying v
electric fence
sing to me
judgement (ken)
empty pockets
wailing and gnashing (ken, kui)
bigger than you or me
451 (mr. goshi, kui, uncle Kona Ahlo)

You'll also notice we've noted special things for each song like additional musicians to play for that song or extra percussion to be used. We're really getting stoked for how things are turning out and couldn't be more excited. You better be at one of the shows...or I hope Gargamel eats you.
