10/02/2009 Project Gamma is back to the drawing board to compare, compile and brainstorm about adding new tunes. Each member will be contributing a list of 12 songs. We'll boil it down, probably have a basement brawl, and then finally play a few of the tunes to see how they sound. They always sound good, with a few exceptions.
We just finished playing at Christina's Bar and Restaurant on Rt. 30 (the old Omni) on Fri. Sept. 25th, and had a great time. We met some new friends, and made some new fans. Apparently the two biggest fans of the night were M.J. who wants to audition for the tamborine spot and Brian, who had a grin on his face the entire night.
Tom, guitarist/singer from the band 39 Fingers helped the band greatly by running sound, and providing a few extra pieces of equipmentl. Tom ran a compressor on Tom's (our singer's) vocals, Jeff's bass and Ryan's bass drum, to even out the sound. The result has been digitally recorded for future download from our site. At this point our sound is really clear, and the volume is just right, no ear-splitting volume, but enough "push" that you can still feel it.
Everyone there, totally enjoyed themselves. Not even a day later, Roe, manager of Christina's, called us to book another gig. Our next show is on November 7.
Tom is now working for a new company
Jeff just bought an acoustic bass
Ryan is exploring the depths of his spirituality
Dave is enjoying life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

08/22/2009 Project Gamma at Shadie Katie's from 10pm until 2am - 814 S. White Horse Pike, Somerdale, NJ 08083 ... this will be our first time as a headliner! Please come out and not just support us, but have a great time!
We're going to be working on these tunes... Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson; Zero, Smashing Pumkins; I Ran (So Far Away), Flock of Seagulls; Sex on Fire, Kings of Leon; and Panic Switch, Silversun Pickups
(update 07.07.2009)... preliminary tests were conducted Monday, 7/6 for the majority of the above tunes. So far tests are proving positive (energy) about the song selection. One song in partcular shines the brightest and was the least expected to do so. At first, I Ran (So Far Away) by the Flock of Seagulls, was played pretty much like the original recorded version, however with a little tweeking, some creative rhythms, and some modified guitar work the song transformed into a rocking, dance tune. We're looking forward to unveiling these songs at our next show at Shadie Katie's
Jeff is a dad... congratulations!
Tom has been working like a crazy person
Ryan is married... sorry gals, he's cute and all, but Suzanne will kick your ass if you so much as ... just kidding.
Dave is just being dave... bleaching his hair and living, and loving life
