I am getting into the swing of things playing guitar in Mala Sangre. I have played a good number of shows with them, am preparing to record in the coming weeks, and supposedly we are getting ready to go on tour on the east coas after our LP comes out (hopefully by late spring).
While I am totally stoked on it, this is the first time I have been in a really "active" band since Asshole Assassination Squad. American Lies still plays, but finances have put a hold on playing far away and recording/putting out things. Since AAS, I have taken on a lot more responsibility in my personal life (I'll leave it at that), so leaving to go on tour for 3 weeks sounds amazing, but a little overwhelming at the same time. I have to save money for that in addition to Comic-Con and Amber and my vacation to Seattle in the summer. Also, I will (hopefully) have a new job as an EMT by then, so getting all of the time off might not be as easy as it is now.
Either way, it is great to actually feel like a member of a band again. It's great to feel like we have a purpose and a direction. We are working toward something that we all want, which is something that I have not had in the other bands I've been in recently. I guess we'll see how it all unfolds......
