I miss performing.

Its been a while since A Horrible Night to Have a Curse was really active, I think we've been overly enjoying a dry spell since the departure of our drummer Marshall. Yeah, we're working with a new dude, and yeah, we have a few new songs being written, but our output has been dismally low. Its been over a month now since we played a show, which bothers me to no end, and it almost feels like we don't even know how anymore.

We've been used to atleast one show per month if not one per week for so long now. In fact, we haven't gone over a month without a show since we first formed as Tragedy of Tomorrow in early 2007. We do have one tenatively planned on August 9th at the Kaysville Barnes Park, but who knows if it'll go through. Its being set up by a fledgeling "record company" called Krusher Records who first reared their heads a few months ago based out of Layton, UT. They approached us at a show at Mojo's in Ogden. They seemed like cool dudes, but they definately had the over-enthusiasm of pie-in-the-sky dreamers.

We've been working a lot lately on modifying our sound to include some of the heavier aspects of mosh and deathmetal, a kind of music we all love, but have never tapped into. We actually have two songs we have written under the new name A Horrible Night to Have a Curse, and I think they utilize those techniques well. We don't have any recordings of Skeleton Frame or Just to Make it Worse yet, but we will hopefully have a few demos up by the end of the year.

A lot of people have been complaining about our new name, and frankly, it doesn't bother me at all. You see, we did it for us, not for you. Ha ha, seriously though, we're a dinky local band, and I don't think our name matters much. What I do hope however, is that people will take a minute to listen to what we've made, we work hard, and its nice to see that someone appreciates it.

How I miss performing. Its a feeling like no other, it really makes you feel alive. Its really something to be in front of a few hundred people in a kick butt place like the Avalon Theater, completely connected with the other four dudes onstage with you. Its really amazing how a bunch of disfunctional very un-musicianlike 20 year olds can write and combine different parts to make (what I think) is very good music.
