Galactica Lives!

Me and the guys (aka Robin, Woei Yuan, Yeeyong and Bryan) came up with an idea for a joke. We decided to form a band to write and record a short shoegazing EP within a day. We went to a pretty crap studio (we only found out how bad it really was when we were there) to do a live recording.

There was only a fuckin' track for the drums. Typically, there should be a few .wav tracks for the hi-hat, kick drum and cymbals. Well, I cheated; I pre-programmed the kick drum. So the band was reasonably tight. Hey, those can't drum, program the beats. So I played only the cymbals, snare and toms. Heh.

It was fun. Robin did lead vocals on all tunes. They were mainly inspired by our beloved space opera series BattleStar Galactica and Max who served as our muse most of the time for our nonsensical lyrics.

It was really fun. We talked about going back (not to the same crappy studio) to do a sequel to this joke. That'll be probably be the end of the year. If so, I will suggest the next 3 song titles: 'So That Was The Frakkin' Plan? They Never Told Me!', 'I Just Rammed BattleStar Galactica Into The Cylon Basestar. Woot!' and 'We Are The Final Five'. We probably should cover Bob Dylan's 'All Along The Watchtower' as well since it was the trigger tune for all the Final Five Cylons. Hmmm..
