Band practice was yesterday.  We've got two new songs added to the list bring it to a grand total of six and half!!  This coming Saturday, we'll be playing at Jeremy's House for a Halloween party there.  That should be fun.  Check back for a set list.

Okay, last night was the show.  Over all it was good, except for this one dude who was pissing the absolute hell outta me.  I mean, he was asking if we were a ska band...what the fuck!  Was he not listening?  We had just played 6 songs that were as far from ska as anyone can be.  Don't get me wrong, I think ska is cool and stuff but that is not the style that Frailty plays at the moment, we might later but not now.  And aside from being a dick and pissing off every last one of us (not a wise thing to do), he was drawing the attention of the people who were trying to listen.  So, if you're reading this (you know who you are), if you come to another show and start acting like you did last night, I am personally kicking you out.  I mean, yeah when I go to concerts I will talk but over all I give the band the respect they deserve.  We busted our asses finalizing material for that night.

So, the show was good and no, we do not need a harmonica player.  And if we do we'll find someone else.  I'm going to bed.  Peace, Heath.

P.S. I'm working on getting the new Sounds page up, so hopfully all of our fans will finally get an idea how we sound (which is nothing like ska).

Oh, the shit has hit the fan now.  So, the guys and I are all extra stoked for Thursday: our first booked gig at a club-type place!  Well, while I'm passed-out asleep, Tim calls me.  Turns out he got an e-mail from the dude who runs Swayze's (the place we were supposed to play).  The short and skinny of it is that the show is cancelled (but yet on their site the show is still on...hmm) and have not given us a reason as to why we were cut.  I mean what the fuck!  Know what I think it is?  Auditory discrimination, man.  I think they don't want us to play because we not punk enough. 

You see, this past weekend we went to Swayze's to check it out.  We were talking to a nice gal (who shall remain nameless because she was cool) and asking her questions.  Well, maybe someone leaked to the owner that we're a little harder than most local bands: what I'm trying say here is that in the general area of Powder Springs and Marietta, most bands are some breed punk.  We're kind of the 'odd-man-out' cause we decided that we liked punk but didn't like going around with a stick up our asses, whining like little bitches about how society sucks my left nut and how girls fuck everything up.  Who gives a shit!!!  We are Frailty and no one is going to tell us how to sound.  So we are going to make Swayze's regret not keeping us on...they could have one day said, "yep, we booked Frailty back when they were just a singer-less local band."  Not anymore.  (Please note that these are the opinions of Heath...a very pissed off Heath, and do not reflect the views and opinions of the rest of the band [I don't think.  My opinions might be in agreence with theirs, but I don't know at the moment])

 

Nov. 13, 2002 (later that day)

We now have a reason why the show was cancelled.  The reason is in the little extra thing below.  So the previous News thing should just be kind of funny now.  I mean, come on, auditory discrimination?  Funny, yes...likely, maybe later.  Sorry for the extreme act of aggression

Sorry this is coming so late but my computer has been acting weird and I've been real busy at school.  Anyway, Jeremy had a birthday yesterday.  The Show on Saturday went well.  Everyone really seemed to enjoy the show (considering everyone paid attention this time).  We did the usual set but then I just randomly went into my part of a new song we're working on.  That got a good responce.  We're excited about Thursday.  But I am going to get some sleep before I pass out.

 

Nov. 26, 2002

Sorry this is coming so late, we've been busy and my computer has been acting weird.  So, happy Turkey-Day to everyone who celebrates it since I won't be near this computer to update.  The Swayze's show was rockin.  We played with a band called I Love You.  They're cool guys, I wanna play with them again.  But we had about 50 some odd people there and the police got 30 calls during our set!  Hell yeah!  Our first show and 30 noice disturbance calls...Lee (the owner) wants us back ASAFP.  We had a blast.  Signed stuff (shirts, arms, breasts...you know the usual rock star stuff), took pictures with Frail Fans.  yeah, so we're working on so new songs, they're coming along real well.  We auditioned another singer...yeah, needless to say we're still looking.  When a guy can piss all of us off within 30 minutes, you just know he isn't getting the gig.  So, we're still looking.  But Tyler, Jeremy and Tim played at a bar Sunday (I wasn't there because I was on my way back to skool).  They played for four people...literally.  It was more or less a big jam session.  Oh well, we should have about 4 new songs by the next gig (some time by the New Year).  I got schoolwork to do.  Peace!

 

Dec. 10, 2002

This is going to be a quickie.  I've got a final tomorrow and the rest of this week, Tim and Jeremy have them next week.  I'm coming home Sunday.  Jeremy's getting some new drum equipment.  I'm transfering to a college closer to home.  The new songs are sounding good.  And now I'm going to study.  Later.

 

Dec. 24, 2002

Hope everyone is having a decent holiday season.  Ours has been interesting.  Jeremy hurt his shoulder last Wednesday but is on the mend.  Tim broke up with his girlfriend the other day and my girlfriend and I are going through some rough times.  But you know what they say, "great pain begets great art" or something to that effect.  And this new music should prove that right (at least from me because I'm feeling all kinds of pain).  But anyhow, the first of the year looks like it's going to be recording time.  And we might not play until the Feb. 14th show at Swayze's so that we can A) find a fuckin singer! and B)tighten up some new material.  Until then, happy holidays and all that jazz.

First and foremost, we would like to wish all of our fans a happy New Year. Heath and Tyler went to Heath's to celebrate, while Jeremy and I (Timothy) chilled at Jeremy's place. We had a couple people over to bring in the new year. The real truth of it is, there's not a lot of news going on with us, as a band. We've all been busy lately with the holidays, finals and all that good stuff. But now, we're back to devoting most of our time to the band. As promised, we will have new (and if I might say, awesome) songs to please our audience with. If you want to keep tabs on the progression we're making, I suggest you check the Garage section of the site. Anyways, hope you all make the best of what's left of your winter break. Keep checking the site for updates, until then, take care

Sorry about the two weeks of absence from updating. It's been awhile, so during my lunch break I decided to update it. Recent news- We have started recording and have about four songs almost ready to go. I (Timothy), have to dub over my tracks then we'll be set. On the newer demo, I think there'll be about five songs. So far, I know that Number 2, Then Minor, Piece Of Me, 060, and a new slow, acoustic song called Nothing. If you want to see the foundation of Nothing, head to the discography section. It's definitely a lighter song. The real demo should be through within the next two weeks, we're hoping. Then, you will be able to purchase one for a very low price. I do believe that two of the songs will include vocals by Tyler. Until then, take care.

 

Jan. 16, 2003

And I'm back on-line!  Yep, it's Heath and I finally got my computer back on the internet.  but that poses one particular problem: delayed recording.  See, we were recording in my basement/garage...but now my computer is in my room (on the second floor).  So i have no idea how we're going to work this now.  No matter, we'll work around this snafu (or is it snafoo?  i dunno).  but the new songs are kickin a whole lot of ass.  But the recording we've done so far was fun as hell.  While we were working on 'Nothing', i got to play producer.  The guys didn't realize how much patience i have when i comes to music.  But we have a very good very mellow product.  Anyhow, We're going to try audition Tyler's neighbor on Saturday.  Until then, peace and love!

As far as news goes, not a lot is happening outside of the garage. We are working on new songs and trying to look for singers. We have been taking things a little too loosely and have been carried away with other things. Last night, we went to Jeremy's basketball game and watched him kick ass. Afterwards, we went on over to Super Target (where Jeremy changed in the car) and went inside to raise a little hell. Well, it all started when Heath told us (Jeremy and Timothy) that he'd never been kicked out of a store before. So, being the trouble makers that we are, we decided to have a football game in the store, followed by a skatepark session, leading up to a pool-toy fight. We ended it by having a weight lifting contest while blasting all the stereos extremely loud. Apparently, Kevin (old white, dude, mad at the world cause he works at Target), didn't appreciate that. We were asked to leave, but once we declined the offer, we were chased out. We left with Tyler expressing his thoughts and feelings toward Kevin. They weren't very nice. Then, we went over across the street to Wal-mart. Within 45 seconds of walking through the front door, we (Jeremy and Timothy) were threatened to be kicked out. Then we left and cruised around town the whole night. The night was completed with Austin Powers : Goldmember at Heath's house. Bottom line : not much going on with our music, except a song or two.

 

Jan. 28, 2003

Hello to all, and to everyone a great day. We ARE playing the February 14 (AKA Cupid's day) show at Swayze's Venue. More good news to add on to that : We believe that vocals will be involved in that show. Heath found a guy on campus (KSU) who is really interested and has what it takes. So, come this Friday, we will audition him. We all have our fingers crossed and are hopomg for the best. We've decided, that unless he is absolutely horrible, (which I highly doubt) that we will ask him to do vocals for us to see how well we work together on stage. I can only speal for myself (Tim), but I'm really psyched about this. He sounds really cool and I know the whole band has been waiting for a while for the right vocals. So, everyone who is a fan of Frailty, and who reads this, please please please keep your fingers crossed. We'll be sure to let you know how the audition went. Until then, take care.

 

Feb. 2, 2003

Well, one happy Groundhog Day...I guess.  And now for the latest news: a singer has been found!  Yes, we have located a singer.  Guess where he was?  IN THE FUCKING BAND!  Tyler has decided to switch (for the third time) to vocals...this time for good.  So now we are in the market for a good bass player.  V-Day is still on but we're not sure how were going to go about it: either we bring in a temp bassist or Tim and I switch guitar and bass parts.  So a decision will hopfully be reached tomorrow.  But a singer has been found and hopfully a bassist will be easier to find and train.  Well, I've got some re-vamping to do.  Peace.

Six days until the show, which hopefully will kick major ass. We've been working a lot lately and have one hell of a show lately. For the show, we will be using a temporary bassist. We are teaching him his parts and getting all of our last minute changes settled. Hopefully, this show will be good. We have so many people coming already, so we don't have much room for errors. As of today, Saturday before, we took somewhat of a break and promoted all around town. It was great. Anyway, we still have a lot work to do, so keep chacking for updates and we hpe to see you there on Friday. Peace.

 

Feb. 15, 2003

Yeah, last night was the show...it sucked.  There are no two ways about it...it sucked like a cheep whore.  I mean this what happened: we were so stoked and we got there and found out we're not going to play second...we're playing last.  Second show and headlining?  Not bad.  But here's the kicker, they added a 5th band.  So not only are we going on last but we didn't start until quater after 11.  We got through the set as fast as we could.  Six songs in 17 minutes.  But we just could not believe how underprepared we were.  We were so pissed that we stopped caring about playing or playing well.  So we're going to take a break for a while then when we regroup work on fine tuning everything.  So live shows are out of the question for a while.  Well, we're keep you posted on what's going on.  Peace,

Heath

Arugh!  There is a plauge upon the house of Frailty!!  The vast majority of us are really sick.  Tim is just getting over a cold, Tyler's developing strep, Jeremy was too sick to go to the doctor yesterday and I feel like absolute shit.  But we should all be well in a week or two.  We're working on new material and occasionally getting together to fix old stuff...but mostly we're just all sick.  So we'll practice again when we all feel better.  So until then, keep your fluids up expecially the orange juice, Heath.
