Strangers With Guns Beginning 2

 After trying a myriad of things like being a professional gambler, boxer, stenographer etc. I got the itch, was playing guitar and song we're just hitting me. I have been in enough bands to knows others do try bastardise your songs, so I wanted to record music before I had any other band members so the songs we're locked down, start to finish how I had intended them, the might sound off, and it's probably just a sign of who I have jammed with and being in bands with but the people who have found it hard to find any musician I trust basically, a lot of "is this person taking the piss" when I hear what they have added our tried to change in my song, hence every Strangers With Guns songs, every lyrics, bass line, it is all me. I trust Rennick as much as I trust anyone musically, and normally what he comes up with is perfect, but I still have the call on it, especially the come in here, drop out there sort of thing and have come up with drum parts, like the "BIMM/Art School Council Grant Whores" song.

Anyways, after maybe 3yrs of awkward jams that came to nothing I met Rennick, he responded to an add I had up looking for a drummer. I genuinely knew instantly he was the guy, few texts in I was like this is him, when he told me he was driving from Kildare to practice I was worried about him leaving and was picking up the tab on practices, initially my friend Diarm was on bass, but he was purely doing it as a favour, I think he was over being in bands, initally I had bought a drum kit for my brother to play drums which he told me he would do if I bought a kit and diarm on bass. I spent 400 on the kit and my brother was having none of it, he never expects anything he agrees to ever come to fruition so when it does he goes "what? not doing that" we had 1 jam as a band.

I was always worried about Rennick leaving over the commute so I floated the idea of him getting his mate from his old band "Kiss My Acid" to join, he was real into that idea, he said the worst part of the band stopping was them not really having a reason to hang out anymore so he messaged ricky, and ricky came along. I had 3 or 4 jams with rennick, then ricky had 4 days notice before our first gig in fibbers, it was a disaster, I was nervous for the first and only time, we sucked. But at least we we're off the ground
