TCC!

This week was Tras Can Corps tryouts for the 2009-2010 corp! it was a good year for TCC going through people being kicked out, to people peeing there pants, to making little kids cry at party city!

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.

We have had tryouts and decided this years corp. Hopefully it will be a corp that will change MacArthur for the hype of Fire Truck Crew to the members of the Trash Can Corp. We had a good turnout this year and had many people to choose from.

As next year rolls around, the new trash can members will be roaming the halls showing there outgoing and crazy personalities and making the stands a funner place to be!

This is also my last Blog for the year so I hope you had a fun time reading my blogs(Mr. Mountain).

A Tragedy At Hand!

Hey all music fans, I have now been inducted into a heavy metal band by the name of A Tragedy At Hand, (ATAH) for short. ATAH is a band from Irving, Tx that has been around for about a year, and was currently seeking a guitar player. Mike Gonzalez(Drummer) approached me one day asking me to join the band. At first I was not sure but as I got to know him I was more sure about being a part of the band. We had our first practice at their ex-guitarists house with bass player DJ, and Singer Nate. Although Nate wasn't able to sing because of a broken jaw it was a good practice for me to learn all the songs. The band has also picked up guitarist Eric Stewart and is looking to record its first EP in July. All we can do now is wait patiently and see what time has for ATAH!

The Night That Never Ended!!

Hey guys it's Gabe!

This week I was able to attend one of the best shows of the year! A Skylit Drive played live at The Door in Dallas! It was a night that never ended! The bands where phenomenal and the sound was superb!

I was super excited to have seen two of my favorite bands! ATTACK ATTACK! and A Skylit Drive! I was able to meet the drummer from ASD, Cory LaQuay. He was a laid back kind of guy and was fun to hang with!

I was even able to get a gourmet meal after the show! 7-11 had a wing special! With a Double gulp, the meal was perfect! Next month is full of amazing shows! just be ready!

Forever The Sickest Kids!

Last week's show was amazing!


Forever the sickest kids performed a sold out show in Dallas, Tx at the one and only, House Of Blues! The were supported by many others bands such as NeverShoutNever! , The Cab, We the Kings, and Mercy Mercedes! I was lucky enough to be backstage with the bands that performed that night! When you are a musician a whole world of opportunities and connections are at your disspense. It was an amazing experience! Sorry to say I had no camera on hand, not even a camera phone! As the night Proggresed(big word), i got anxious to meet one of my favorite bands Forever the sickest Kids! I was not able to meet them since they were running late but i did get to meet the guitar player Caleb.

Next Week's show featuring A Skylit Drive, Dance Gavin Dance, Attack Attack, and more will be even better!

Music Gear!

So last month I bought a new Fender Telecaster. It is an amazing guitar with awesome tone and at an affordable price. Many times we focus on the music and not the instrument playing the song, but for the musicians of this world we notice.

Music gear is what makes a musician. The first sign of music gear comes from the bible. David used his harp to play songs for the king, god, and his sheep. Now a days we use gear to make music what we want it to be. Many proffessionals use expensive amps, guitars, drums, microphones, and even portable computers. However, many times we just listen to the music. We do not really see what makes the sounds that we love.

ESCAPE THE FATE!

Sometimes I wonder why i'm still waiting, sometimes i'm shacking, that's how you make me. Sometimes I question why i'm still here, sometimes I think i'm going crazy

Sometimes by Escape The Fate

Going farther than just melodies and lyrics, Escape the fate has brought the edge to the alternative rock world. Escape the Fate has been a band since early 2006 and had much success since then. These Las Vegas, Nevada rockers have more than just talent they have energy and the passion to become one of the greatest bands to play. In early 2008 singer Ronnie Radke left the band due to personal problems involving the police and was arrested.

New Singer, Craig Mabbitt, took the reigns of ETP and started writing new material for the band. In late 2008 the band came out with its second full album called, This War is Ours. The band immediately grew more fame than it had with old sing Ronnie.
The first hit off the 2008 release, The Flood, has a music video and has to be one of the most known songs by the band. There second hit, Something, also has a music video that came out in early 2009.

Now that the band has settled down and started writing new music, new things are in store for this talented band from Las Vegas. You can catch them all summer long on the vans warped tour. Be sure to check this band out and support them.

Unsilent Night 2!
