For our rehearsal yesterday evening at Studio 91 I decided to take the trusty camcorder with me to get a couple of vids of the new song’s that we’ve been working on. (Since nobody want’s to come and hear us rehearse)

The first is titled “Mechanical Butterfly” and its kind of got that epic feel about it.  There are a few minor fuckups, including myself but thats mainly because there are a few points at which I completely adlib.

The second is called “Aisle 6″ and the idea for this song came whilst we were on a break thinking of ideas, when I happened to say “We need a hook” and Sian replied “They’re down aisle 6….”  Its truely strange where some song ideas come from.  This song is a little difficult to make out because of the poor sound quality of my camcorder and the loudness of the cymbals.

Neither of these songs has a real ending, which just kinda stop and make up the ending each time

Please have a watch/listen and let us know any feedback that you may have.

As posted last month the V.i.Ps played their very first gig at Bar Rumba on Shaftesbury Avenue last Friday (10th April 2009). Unfortunately I was unable to attend myself but Stuart Timm’s from You In Colour assures me it was a great gig.
Here are some pictures snapped at from the gig:
