France 3 basement - 21:00 - 03:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.

We worked hard on those songs. It was a better rehearsal than the previous one, but it still wasn't satisfying. On that day though, I used the Peavey amp for the first time with this band. My Blue Devil amp seems to be quiet tired. Everyone immediatly noted this was a vast improvement in terms of guitar sounds !

Rehearsal with the New Trio 23
Not Recording:
'
Grace Kelly'
Not Recording: 'Creep'
Not Recording: 'Time is running out'
Not Recording: 'Eteins la lumière'
France 3 basement - 21:00 - 00:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.

For the first we played not to many songs, but we spent a lot of time on them. This was due to the fact that we had a lot of technical problems with my Blue Devil amp.
So we worked hard on "Grace Kelly" and "Creep" and we played 'Time is running out', 'Eteint la lumière' and I guess that was it.

France 3 basement - 21:00 - 00:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud, Kamel.

Hey, the great return after two mounts of vacation. It was a hard rehearsal: hard to perform, hard to hear ourselves.... But we managed to sneak in some new songs into the boiling pot: 'Creep', which was cool as expected, 'Grace Kelly', which the boys accepted much to my surprise, 'Eteins la lumière' which was smoking, and we also tried again 'Digging in the dirt'.
At the moment we were playing 'My friends', Kamel came in and he sat down with us for six songs. Apparently he enjoyed it.
