Happy New Year

Back to college...no more alcohol or chocolate... how depressing

Im horrifically depressed due to the lack of sledging and snowman creating opportunities, however Im really enjoying band work class recently.
We were asked to create a medley for a Tarantino film, and my band picked Kill Bill. I detest the film, but the soundtrack is fantastic! The band have put together a cracking medley that I cant get out of my head... and cant wait to play at the gig...
The medley kicks of with Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra, Its a really nice slow intro which really suits our vocalists voice. We only play this song for the first few lines and then kick straight into Battle Without Honour or Glory by Tomoyasu Hotei which is a classic theme that is very well known. I love the drum part because its simple, but extremely effective. The medley then progresses onto goodnight moon by Shivaree which also suits our vocalist really well and I love the guitar riff in this one. After goodnight moon the medley kicks into WooHoo by the 5 6 7 8's which is a belter because I get a cheeky drum solo! The song then goes back into Bang Bang playing the last few lines to end the medley nicely..
The medley isnt tight yet, we still need to practice it a good few more times but if we get it right itl be a great performance :)
