TVO BBQ
Hey all, Id like to thank everyone who came to
our show, you guys were great, especially during the clap during rainforest
café song. I think our performance could have been better, it was a little
sketchy, but it was our first show the whole summer so I think we will be better
for the scene show. A few mess ups here and there but it was fun. I think maybe
we got more concerned about stage appearance than our music, which we will work
on. But I look back and I think everyone had fun and I hope everyone enjoyed it,
you guys are amazing for coming and supporting us. We have a lot of work to do
and every show is a lesson for us. We will see you all September 3rd
at the scene, thank you again for
coming.

P.S. if you guys have any pics, please send them to us ASAP so we can put them up on our site so everyone can check them out.

It's been awhile since this journal's been
updated, so I guess I'll step up to the plate. We are putting the finishing
touches on our debut album due out September 3rd at our Club Scene show. I
listened to the cd, which hasn't been completely mastered, and I was amazed at
how far we have come along. I'm very proud of the band and our work and hope
that this cd will not go un-noticed. We have a few more shows coming up
that you don't want to miss, so just check the shows tab for more info. Thanks
for the support

AZN ATTACK
Yo, it’s the Asian invasion here. It
turns out that Breaking Tides will be publicly inactive until around August due
to certain circumstances. It kind of sucks for all of us, but there are some
good sides to it, too. We get to work on funds (which we are very low on) and
merchandise and all that fun stuff, and possibly, come up with a few more
amazing creations. Also, it gives us an opportunity to step away from our hours
of grueling work to look at ourselves from an outside perspective. Anyways,
here’s something I found very enlightening that my very good friend Andres
wrote:
“Music is like the Matrix. It is everywhere; when you drive to school, when you turn on the TV, when you sing Happy Birthday to a friend, or when you ring your neighbor’s doorbell. No matter where you go, you can’t escape it. No one is aware of its existence, but it is there. When you start learning about music, your eyes open wide and you become blinded by the light. Some choose to close their eyes with the perception that the light is too much to handle, ignorant from what is upon them. Those who choose to keep them open get used to it and they are the ones that turn out to be more aware of its presence and the complexities that surround it. They become curious and want to learn more about the concepts behind it. All musicians will encounter those rules and they are the foundation of the system known as music. Even though there are rules, some can be bent and others can be broken. Once you master the basic laws that music abides by, you can see it for what it is and you can only go further down the rabbit hole while others stay upon the surface oblivious to what is really down there. As you learn more and more, you can manipulate music to what you want it to be. Soon you reach a state of nirvana and the rules no longer matter; it is a part of what you are in a subconscious level. Once you get that far, there is no turning back; you can only go forward to control the system however you please. What you can accomplish with the power of your hands depends on your drive to dig deeper into the rabbit hole and there is no telling what the human will can accomplish.”

Ups and Downs of Practice
Yo Jepplar speaking, I haven’t posted in
awhile so I thought id give an update. Today’s practice started good,
ended on a bad note though. We played rainforest café (amazing song your
all gonna bleed from your ears when you hear it) but AJ wasn’t there to do
his part so it sounded unfinished. We also pretty much finished rain song which
is really hott, still we need AJ. We set up Christmas lights and all kinds of
lights in petie’s garage and jammed for awhile. The we tried to write our
new song but we all were too tired for the 15 chord chorus that luis wrote but
w/e, I know it sounds good in his head so it will sound good when we do it. Im
out.

The AZN Attack
Dear Journal. This is probably my first entry
ever in the Breaking Tides Journal. Well yeah, it is. So here. I'm going to hit
you up with important updates in my life that coincide with the events that
parallel that of my career with the band and they go as
follows:
In the past month, I've kind of been broken in as the keyboards of the band. We've had several straight weeks of practice with everyone there and things have been sounding pretty incredible. Seriously, I was amazed with the members of the band before I joined, but now that I'm part of the experience, I have a much, much, much X infinite higher respect for what they do. They are seriously way above par as both musicians and as people.
Anyways, I've been hearing nothing but good things about my acceptance into the band and I must admit it's very flattering. I hope I can meet up to everyone's expectations. Actually, I want to surprise everyone and surpass their expectations.
Okay, so we have more than a handfull of songs now, and they are freakin' impressive/awesome as hell. So guys, be patient and you will be endowed with all that musical goodness.
Get down to the nitty titty, I mean the nitty gritty, I mean her titty's pretty. Peace.

New Recording
Yo its Jepplar speaking to our imaginary fan
base. Practice was ok today, we recorded taken away and it sounds sexy as hell
because its at the right speed now. Whoo!! We were gonna play at a relay for
life tonight but it was too early and we were just to lazy. I felt honored today
because we played the Jepplar jig for Lindsay and Mia and they loved it, so I
felt good. Anywayz, that’s just a little update for whoever has no life
and actually looks at our page. Id like to give a shout out to a good friend of
mine The Tall One, you know who you are.

New Graphic and a slowly evolving band...
Yo its Jepplar speaking. I haven’t posted
anything in awhile so I thought I would inform our imaginary fan base with some
current news. We have currently reached 10 songs!!!! Only about 6 of them are
finished but the other 4 are on their way. A lot of people told us we needed
some more upbeat stuff so that’s what you’re going to get. Our newer
songs are pretty upbeat, especially the wammi song, your gonna love luis and his
wammi pedal after you hear it. I really feel the band is coming along great, we
have been having a lot of slow time and some arguments, but were getting past
that now. Hopefully we can get these songs recorded and get a CD out for
everyone, then have a big show. Anywayz, I’m out for now, hope you all
enjoy my newest graphic of the tree in the
water.

New Member!
Ok, so we have a new band member. he stands at
about, 6' 3 or 6' 2. he has sexy skin. he has short, dark black hair. he has BIG
hands. ladies, you know what that means. its ARTHUR KE JR. congratulations man,
we are totally honored to have you in the band. hopefully you feel the same way.
actually, we just kinda forced you into the band. but either way, awesome. you
are the perfect addition to the band. and you are HILARIOUS. we look forward to
the next practice, full of hard work and laughter to go with it. hopefully you
will serve as a peacemaker between me, james and jeff constantly yelling. either
way, I am super excited. watch out, breaking tides is gonna get so much better
with this new Asian addition. weve got culture on our side bitches. and im
designing an instrument to build for the band. i cant give the idea away, for my
own reasons, and so no one steals it. thats another thing that will distinguish
us; our OWN instrument.
let me tell you something about this AJ personally, from the bottom of my heart, Luis' heart. i love this kid to death. we share this "special" bond. its called, "being twins." we are twins, bonded by love and looks. together we form one hell of a team. and when i am onstage with AJ, i feel so much more confident and better about myself. so my performance level with AJ in the band will be much higher now. thanks AJ, im honored to be part of your life. that sounded pretty gay.

Expose this biatch...
As you have read from the rest of the band...
the show sucked at ovation. I am not going to go into details but... I would
just like to give a nice big "F-YOU" to exposure and their money hungry
asses.
"Oh, we are this great group that gets bands together for a cool little show". Those are the words they sell. It should really sound something more like:
"Hello, we are a group of money hungry assholes who would like to take thousands of dollars from your band and your friends so you can play in a giant tin can of a venue that is an hour away and sounds terrible for about 10 minutes. We would also like to inform you that this is all just so that we can gain tens of thousands of dollars from you sorry bitches. One more thing, we don't pick winners, we pick the band that is best friends with the announcer and who can scream the loudest."
Surely if they advertised themselves like that we would have replied to our invitation to the battle with a big "PISS OFF"
Anyway, we are not being sore losers because we lost or anything, because we all went in there knowing that they were going to pick the band that could scream the loudest and longest. We are just informing everyone that the little company known as "exposure" is just a fake, they are a group of organized thieves. The moral of the story is... if you have a band and get invited to play a show for exposure, just please don't do it (unless your band has no idea what music is and strums power-chords up the ass while screaming, in that case sign up immediately because your band will win their mediocre prize).
