Sanctury, in their new digs
Alan's band has a new practice space. The drummer's mom is an artist, and has just built this beautiful two-story studio. She gets the top floor but the boys can have part of the main floor to jam. I got a private concert yesterday. They'd just written a new song and were pumped. 'This is totally professional, man!'
One of the things I like about having teenagers around is that I'm being exposed to music I probably wouldn't learn about otherwise. Yesterday Alan played me some stuff from a Swedish band called Therian. It's a heavy metal band that incorporates operatic singers and symphonic orchestras (think the Metropolitan Opera meets Iron Maiden). The resulting sound is rather haunting and gave me goosebumps.
Apart from going to hear Alan's band, I managed to get quite a few other things done yesterday. I got a good start on my Christmas baking, went to a yoga class, and even found an hour or so at the piano.
