Updates on The Zaphyr. Just for the record. The reason I decided to write about my band in this blog is because, music and me can't be separated. Realizing this, my band has already become a big part of me in my life. Since I don't have a diary, this blog will act as journal and for me to keep track on what we're doing up until now. Its been two years since Zaphyr was firs formed, our band movement was a little bit slow until recently, but we're progressing alright, and those efforts we've put in has come to fruition. We are ready to come up with a single, we decided to re-record our first song Broken Down Lassie and in the progress of making a new mystery track on the B-side of this single. But although there's an A-side and B-side in this single, its not gonna be a vinyl, its more like a cliche or special features in that single, a small gesture from us as appreciation towards our friends and fans that has been supporting us up until now.
There's a reason why we decided to re-record Broken Down Lassie, if you notice us from our myspace, you'll find that last year our band genre and sound is not quite the same as we are now (if you've heard us live). That's because previously our band main genre is Vintage Rock n Roll, but now as we matured and gain new perspective of music we decided to go for modern Blues Rock, something like The Raconteurs and Black Keys. But its not that much of a difference, the element of rock n roll is still there. You'll notice the difference once the single is finished and we'll put a teaser on our reverbnation and facebook profile.

But that's not all, I've come up with an idea and a design for the band T-shirts. The T's are gonna be sell with the single and there'll be a limited special T's (colored) with the same design as the single cover. While the rest is gonna be a normal b&w t-shirt with the band logo on the front. I'll update more about this on my next entry.
By the way, my band entered the UOX battle of the band last week. It was okay, we didn't nailed it cause the judges doesn't seem impressed by our song and performance but one of the judges did call me Hendrix, maybe cause the way I'm dressed and look like. I don't know if he's being sarcastic or what but I admired Jimi Hendrix so I take that as a compliment. Oh yeah he's also the lead singer of a band called Azlan and The Typewriter, his name's Lan. Since I used to follow his band movement during my schooldays so I'm a little bit overwhelmed when he called me Ajib Hendrix. But overall we're not happy with the battle and the judge being biased with some bands with big names with the typical Indie song. If I didn't know any better I think there's a money play involved with the officials. But we take things positively and just being positive with everything. No hard feelings.
