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 3^rd at the scene, thank you again for coming.

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2005 19:39:43 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1343571800/E1149377737/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1804795849/E22522937/index.html All i have to say for ovation is that i have the beats to go with the honey.

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). ]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 16:17:10 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C2113173901/E1396963777/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1343571800/E1514033113/index.html Ok so you got the inside scoop on the ovation show... to the rest of the band and our loyal fans who came all that way to watch us (i love you all dearly, it is you guys that keep me alive), we did awesome. to me, we sucked. why? heres the scoop of what really happened, first hand, first person, from the man who basically got fudgeed over, like always. and of course, and i am probably the most critical of the band, when it comes to our performances. anyway, we didnt even get a soundcheck in the morning when we went there. we drove an hour and half to hand in our fudgeing money. fudgeing pigs.

They soundchecked one band, the first band. so us and A Farewell Approach toyed with the equipment a bit. i still didnt really know how to use it, whatever. we went home, slept in the car, i realized how not good Killswitch Engage was, but i still like them. we practiced at petie's after lunch, then i slept. . . we are about to get on stage, and i had just finished tuning our guitars and A Farewell Approach's equipment as well. i didnt really tune the ibanez though; of course, when it was important, the ibanez went ouf of tune constantly, of course it had to be me. im so lucky. anyway, AFA finishes, we get on. i was told by matt from AFA to use the stack on the far right because the one he used is done and broken. so i took his advice, the nice person i am. problem was, the keyboard was on the side nearer to the stack that was apparently "broken."

So i plugged into my amp, using a fudgeing wireless system. lemme tell EVERYONE something, wireless systems suck. well, most, i havent tried that many. one in fact. and MARSHALL CAN SUCK MY FAT WANG. ive said it from the begining, marshall sucks. ive never used such a bad system. first of all, the jackson's (the guitar i was using) pickups are weak, then, a crappy wireless system plugged into a dying marshall stack. the result: no sound, due to a broken signal or no signal at all (once again thanks to wireless system run into a dying stack from a sucky pickup system). or, a really really really really pussy sounding distortion. i played the absolute worst i have every played in my life that night, and it was bad.

I was so mad, i could not take it. i was yelling at everyone: the band, the techies, the poor girl who introduced us, everything. so basically, i said, fudge it. i refuse to even make an effort. i get fudgeed over so much. thanks matt from AFA. i used the shit amp you whore. happy? i sucked, and now im pissed off again thinking about what happened. whatever... everyone loved us, strangely. it was by far, my worst show ever. you, the reader, probably wonder, but everyone else said the show was great. yea, to them. to me, i try to forget it. sure, petie sang beautifullly, and james was rockin', and jeff did his thang, and robert added them beats to that honey. but tonight, the usual winner came out in the bottom. anger overcame me, and i was i dick to everyone on stage. sorry. but mostly what pissed me off, was the fact that they decided to do taken away, even though they knew my distortion wasnt in existence and i would sound awful. that still fudgeing pisses the hell out of me so much...

I cant talk about this anymore. all this waste, all this time, all this hype, all this hope, all this looking forward to. what a big waste... we didnt even win. we shouldve won too. we clearly won, it was obvious we are the best band in the land. this just shows the corruption and lack of true talen in the music business nowadays. the bands that won were two screamo/anger management bands. they both sucked my three testicles. its ridiculous how bad music has gone. heres what my good buddy zakk wylde says (something along these lines):

"its so insulting to us hardworking musicians to see people like ashlee simpson (or in our case, the winning bands at ovation) get all this fame and shit. she cant even lip-sync to her own fudgeing song. One day, i think im gonna play my CD onstage, shove a hockey stick up my ass, and walk around stage like a douche bad, and people will say 'wow zakk is amazing, hes not even touching his guitar and hes still playing the solo.'" screw you "exposure."

D-song was a bit screwed up but it wasnt to bad. we just need to get it all finished. Luis had some problems with his half stack and that sucked. i think we should have taken more time to learn the amps in the morning and played around with them. but i guess noone really took time to do it. some say it was the tech guys fault but i dont blame him at all cuz hows he supposed to know exactly what people want, he shouldnt have to do everything. I

I think us personally did fine, the band didnt screw up. just a bit of tech problems. and of course we had moving problems. ive noticed jeff doesnt move as much at big shows as he does at practice, and luis doesnt move when hes pissed, but who can blame him. we gotta work on the show stuff like that.

I never wanna play another show without our own equipment or like a one hour sound check. if were gonna use amps we've never used they should at least give us time to learn them or use our own stuff. but also they were tube amps that had been on all day so of course they wouldnt be at their best. kepplar jig went good. people really liked it, im really happy bout that. people could also hear my bass really well at those shows and ive been getting lots of reallly good feed back about my skill. which makes me extremely happy cuz i hate being the bass in the backround and noone knows what im doing. now i guess im getting more of the respect i deserve lol. i think we totally should have won, as far as i heard.

I think petie was the only singer that could actually sing. most people were just screaming like idiots. we were extremely diffrent too which made me happy. even my mom noticed that, the band that went on 2 spots before us and the one right after us sounded exactly the same. w/e we were gipped. at least it gave us a chance to show people some of our knew stuff. some people have been to most of our concerts and heard like the same 3 songs.

This time we got to play new stuff people hadnt heard. we dont have shows coming up for a while i guess so now we can take time for good practices and recording. it'll be good. well w/e give us some feed back on what you thought of last night peoples. peace. ]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2005 16:50:12 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C2122587847/E1846393674/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1825803363/E37748945/index.html Well Ovation is over and done with. I and not to happy with the outcome of it either. We worked really hard and we really excited for the show for it to come out as it did. The one thing I hate doing is not using our own equipment. We had to use marshal half stacks that we didn’t know how to use. Well I get the good one but Luis gets the one where the distortion wouldn’t work. I was pissed because Luis is amazing at guitar and people couldn’t hear him, and we had to waste time trying to fix the amp which cut out our playing time.

Ovation is full of douche bags. I also felt bad because so many people came to watch us and we performed so awful cuz we were so mad. We still got a great crowd response and had people skanking during taken away which surprised me. We only played 4 songs. Anyways, the D song was new but I think we rushed into playing it, we need to perfect it like taken away, complete, and drowning, but that takes time. I really think we could have won that because were so much different then every other band. All the bands sounded the same and that’s the problem with music nowadays but it’s also what gets bands signed. I think the band is really coming together now.

We were having a lot of problems before but I think now after that show and listening to other bands we realized that if we make it, we could actually be a band that revolutionizes music. At the show I was pissed off, but I started feeling better when a lot of people told me they liked the song I wrote “The Kepplar Jig”. The song is so fun to play and I think it has a really good beat which people like. The rap part was the best and I think it showed that we don’t really have a sound, that we just can combine everything and do what works for us and people like that. Anywayz, I’m out for now. Thanks to everyone who came to the show and supported us b4 and after it, you guys are amazing. I wish the performance could have been better but things happen. Marshal sucks, Line 6 owns you!!!!!!! ]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:32:23 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1825803363/E37748945/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C2113173901/E1813373887/index.html This weekend was great. It started with Friday night when we played another open mic night at McCarthy. That went even better than the first one thanks to luis' brand amp, and his brand new chord for "drowning" (jk). After this we all went out to the oasis and spotted an amazing grand piano. Luis decided that he MUST play it, so we actually performed a "taken away" piano version right there in the mall. Kris (the best band/video man on the planet) caught some video of that happening, I will post that online once I get the tapes.

Saturday was TASTE OF CHAOS, well at least for James and I. It was great fun. Pau decided she wanted to go crowd surfing. I love when people like to try new things, even if it puts me through hell trying to help them out. Sunday was pretty fun, JAMES' BIRTHDAY! Next time you see him make sure you give him a nice CASH present so that he can buy a new bass please! PLEASE!

We were planning on playing at his little birthday get together, but bobby had to go to a concert... geesh. Anyway, Curly's party was fun... even though I got a little annoyed at the end from an undisclosed reason. Whatever, I am not even mad anymore.... I am over it. I have realized that some people are different and they are on a different page than you are when it comes to some things, but if you care for them enough you will adjust and you will turn the page to read the same lines that they are reading. ]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2005 12:19:57 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C2113173901/E1813373887/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1825803363/E1263638805/index.html Werd up to all, its Mr. Kepplar speaking. This weekend was great as Petie said. Friday’s mic night went awesome. We did it up with 5 songs and taken away sounded amazing. Even though luis hit one of the ugliest chords I have ever heard during drowning lol, he is still the captain. Our dedicated fan didn’t go to the show which was disappointing, you know who you are! The captain and I heard the best song ever this weekend, it’s called numa numa, it’s in like dutch, its like some dance techno song. Says words like hyduke and sespoon which we haven’t found the meaning to as of yet. So we downloaded it at petie’s house and jammed to it non stop.

I had to sleep at Captains house Friday and Saturday cuz mi parentals were gone and they don’t trust me to lock up the house or w/e. Sunday was Jame’s party, was pretty cool. Saw is kind of boring when its 2nd time seeing it. But it was fun anyways. After that luis was jamming on mi guitara, he is exactly like steve vai, except for he is luis cordova. We have 2 new song ideas that we are working on, we just have to finish them hopefully b4 ovation. We need to balance out our songs b/c we have to many slow songs, they might be sexy as hell but they don’t get the crowd moving. Hopefully these will.

I had some trouble with the D song b/c the timing is unknown to all human kind, but I figured out just to listen to the bass and u will feel it. Drums need alittle work though b/c this song is really hard to make a drum beat to. Anywayz, there is alittle update for the fans if we have any, peace. ]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2005 12:18:21 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/ptpiz/iblog/btjournal/B43908014/C1825803363/E1263638805/index.html
