Nothing with Numbers

I wanted to share the explanation on why Tyler had to change the date he was coming home. The news was so exciting for him and for us--we support him on everything, so we were right in there with him with a great big: YAHOO!!!!

A few weeks ago I wrote about the band that Tyler plays bass for. The band's name is Nothing with Numbers. If anyone is wondering, they play punk rock music. Well they have just got hired for their very first "gig". They are playing at a club in Las Vegas called the Bunk House, on April 30th. We are so excited for him.

Tyler has not only been playing the bass he also has been recording for the band. It's important that they had a demo to send to the clubs when looking to get booked for the gigs. The band has a web page and they say this about Tyler: "Recently, bass amps started getting used at practice thanks to Tyler, who has brought a lot to our music...". All the guys in the band seem really great from the stories Tyler tells me. I wish them all the best on April 30th.

Okay maybe everyone knows this, but I didn't, so I thought I would share it. Do you realize that they record all the vocals and each instrument separately? After that, he takes it all individually and mixes it together for the "track". Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it?

This is a picture of Tyler doing some recording for the band last weekend. Maybe I am a little over the top proud but it is exciting news. Hopefully the gigs will keep getting scheduled. Even though I do not LOVE that genre of music I would definitely LOVE to see Tyler perform someday.

  1. Looks like Tyler's life is very busy between his daytime job and working with a band. Have heard about but not really sure I know what punk rock music is. Maybe I would recognize it because it is probably what is playing when I change the channel to get to "oldies but goodies". :-) Aunt Jo-Ann is getting old!

  2. Well I know that punk rock is not my favorite type of music--but it hasn't rotted his brain yet so I guess it can't be too bad. :)

    Yes-my music tastes have changed as I get older too!
