Right here, right now

The charity gig we did with Bo Ningen & The Cather Nine last night, we made £1492. We will keep the receipt and let you know once it's donated. THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who came down to the show and Anthony GDLI who organised / promoted the show with us.
So lots of friends came to see the show too. This is Melissa, I wasn't expecting her to come, I was pleased. She bought our charitee shirt too.

Here's a picture of The Catcher Nine, I know it's a really crappy photo but I was selling Charitee shirts watching them from the back at the same time. First time I saw them. Their songs were really beautiful.
So much stuff I had to sort out before the set, so I forgot to ask my friends to take pictures with my camera us performing. Here are 2 pictures of me from last night I found on TweetPic.
I wanted to introduce our new member Chris the new drummer with his picture performing in here but I don't have any. I'm not drumming in Comanechi live anymore. We are a 3 piece band from now on. Me and Simon were already planning to have a drummer since all last year. We had been secretly rehearsing with Chris. He's really great. Now I can interact with audience more and I can sing better live.
Transformation is good. We wanna be better and wanna move forward. (I'm still drumming on new recordings...)
Bo Ningen
They were so good, as always.
I'm so exhausted today, but am back to work doing more graphic job for a post production company.
Last night was our first show as a 3 piece. There are so much more we can improve. I couldn't sleep at all last night thinking about it.
I get so motivated whenever I watch great bands with right attitude, right reason to be in a band. There were many people came to talk to me after the show. Without me being a big headed, it's nice to hear when people come and tell me it was a great show, and tells me we made them feel better from their life that's being shitty by watching our show, etc. These words really mean a lot to me doing what we do.
Sometimes I'm unsociable talking to people at shows, only when I want to concentrate getting ready before show or when I'm really exhausted after show.
Also it's nice to know when people come & tell me "I read your blog!" ; )
Here's Melissa
She went to work wearing Comanechi ChariTee today.
