FIRST A SHOUT OUT TO ALL OUR FRIENDS ;))))))......HEY !!!!!!!!....WE MISS YOU !!!!!!!! WRITE US LETTERS!!!!!!...... the dreaded pattern seems to be...to talk to friends for a bit...then as you're adding and moving on trying to build the list here...friends get neglected ;((((.....and we surely don't mean to do that. It's just that we can't keep up sometimes...*even in answering many of the friend requests...*we can't keep up !!!!...sorry ;((...BUT WE TRY OUR BEST !!... WE PROMISE YOU THAT...and...PLEASE....DO WRITE US...!!! WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYBODY WE'VE CORRESPONDED WITH IN THE PAST ;)) ..PLEASE COME BACK TO CHECK FOR DIFFERENT SONGS!..THE 10th SONG*....yes..that's nice ;)..A few songs will usually rotate...couple thousand plays...then I change it...think I'm overdue !!........ .. ************************************************************** ...WELCOME TO THE MAIN cLuStErLuCk SPACE !!!!! ************************************************************** .......FEATURING 10 FAN FAVES FROM OUR 6 cLuStErLuck SPACES.. ...........ALSO IF YOU CLICK THROUGH THE PLAY-LISTS...YOU WILL FIND OVER 150 MORE SONGS AT THE MOMENT....****yes...that reads *150* ;)....{nearly 50 are from some of our Awesome Friends as well } A RETROSPECT OF THE NOW 20 MUSIC SPACES WE HAVE UP FOR THE LISTEN HERE ON MYSPACE ;) and those playlists will grow steady with time as we can put more up !!!!!..and also 15 songs featuring some of our awesome friends bands who have their music on myspace. ************************************************************** .... ************************************************************** .. ...Secondly ----...IF YOU'RE NOT FOND OF THE FIRST SONG...PLEASE DON'T RUN AWAY ANNOUNCING THE BAND AS UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION... ...IF YOU'RE NOT FOND OF ANY OF THE 10 SONGS UP IN THE CURRENT PLAY-LIST....WELL....IT'S STILL NOT A TOTAL REPRESENTATION OF THIS BAND AND THE MUSIC WE BRING FORTH.. .... ...THERE ARE *6 cLuStErLuCk SPACES*...*NEARLY 60 SONGS TOTAL*, WITH SERIOUSLY, ANOTHER 100 IN THE BACK POCKET...SO THE SONGS DO REVOLVE ON THE OTHER SPACES AND THERE IS USUALLY ONE SONG FROM EACH SPACE ON THIS *MAIN* SPACE...AND FINALLY...AFTER 3 YEARS AND MANY SETBACKS...THE NEWEST cLuStErLuCk DISC IS TAKING SHAPE TO BE COMPLETED VERY VERY SOON. ;))...18 TRACKS SO FAR...WITH 2 STILL TO RECORD FOR OUR NEXT SELF-RELEASE..SO NEW TRACKS WILL START TO POP UP AS SOON AS WE'RE HAPPY WITH OUR "FINAL" MIXES...(they're never final..lol)...we're far from engineers...and we record on a Roland VS-1824 with little knowledge of what we're doing here..lol...but we write a lot...record a lot and we quickly settle for "demo-quality" to bring the music to you all...with hopes of catching the interest of a label of course..and re-recording the songs they would see fit to include on our very first major release from the band.. .... ...THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE OUR BAND ????????...I'M NEVER SURE OF THAT !!!.. .... ...WE WANNA ROCK !!!!!!!!!......but we do whatever we do...and the vast influences have led us to the point of...not caring about sticking to a particular Genre...even though we prefer the classic 3 1/2 minute Hard Rock Song.. .... ...When you love music.....You love music.....I'm not saying you have to love every style of music out there if you love music...but we love many...and whatever comes out in the songwriting process just comes out...Todd has written so many cool piano tunes...I just can't resist trying to hook them up with some lyrics and experimentation ;)>..and I find myself dabbling in the beats and some darker grooves...We both love to write on the acoustic guitar.. ..but the main process as of late is.....Todd hops on the drums for 3 minutes or so...slams one down...maybe something already in his head for a melody.. .....maybe not....and it's there on the machine for us both to write to..even though the predominant process is...Todd with the electric guitar..then bass and vocals and.....oops !!!!!!...."we're done....lets work on this other new one now instead" ;o...... .... ..LIVE...WE WANNA ROCK !!!!!! GRUNGE & GROOVE & CHUNK & PLUNK.. ..HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED FROM TIME TO TIME....SO THE SET RUNS A LENGTHY ROLLERCOASTER RIDE IF YOU LET US ;))))))...& MANY A cLuStErLuCk SONG STARTS IN SLOW GEAR & ENDS WITH AT LEAST THE VOCALS IN A SCREAMING FRENZY....OR AT LEAST AN ATTEMPT OF SUCH..lol .. ..AS WE RECORD OUR NEWEST ADVENTURE...WE'RE FINDING ONCE AGAIN..IT'S GOING TO BE 2 DISCS :o !!!!...A ROCKER...AND A MIX OF THE OTHER SONGS WE'VE RECORDED AS OF LATE...*TWIST OF TASTE* part 2.. ..*pOtLuCk*.....didn't spare you that one....wellllllllll......... .."OUR DEAR FIRST MEGA-FRIEND LEXI SAID WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.. .......FIRST...... ......................"YOU HAVE MUSIC FOR EVERY MOOD OF MY EVERY DAY !!!" .. ..I LOVED THAT ;))))))...AND I ALWAYS WILL ;))))))...THANKS LEXI;)))))) .. .... ...SO PLEASE DO LISTEN AND LOOK AROUND...FOR NOW...ALL OUR OTHER PAST BANDS AND CURRENT PROJECTS ARE LOCATED IN THE TOP 40 FRIENDS ON ALL THE SPACES...WHETHER YOU WANNA RUN AROUND YOUR ROOM AND PLAY "SKULL BASH" ON THE WALL...OR IF YOU PREFER...AND YOU'VE BANGED YOUR HEAD ENOUGH AND IT'S TIME TO VISIT THE REST OF OUR PLAY-LISTS HERE AND ON THE OTHER SPACES..YOU CAN HOPEFULLY ENJOY...A LITTLE PIANO DIDDY...OR IF YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR A DARK GROOVE OR AN ACOUSTIC STORY TOLD...OR YOU NEED A CLASSIC ROCKER OR OLD-SCHOOL METAL FAVE...MAYBE A JAZZY-BLUESY NUMBER WITH SOME KEEN SAX AND WHINY VOCALS....lol...;o......(as we continue with this...I have a little side-goal.....a space for every style of music that we can pull off... ...even maybe a couple genres that don't exactly do it for me...but...wtf?...I think it would be cool to try to do that...and I surely hope we can bring you that effort one day ;)).... .... .. .. ...IF BY SOME CHANCE YOU READ EVEN THIS FAR....OMG !!!!...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH...YOU OBVIOUSLY SOMEHOW GIVE A CRAP ;)))))..AND WE LOVE THAT NOTION !!!!!!!....soooooooooo....*THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU* .. .. .... ...112 SONGS UP ON 20 SPACES NOW ;)))))....* I say that a lot *...I just know that even with some die-hard fans and friends...most have not really *gone the distance*...and braved all 112 songs up now..lol...;o...BUT YOU WILL REALLY BE SURPRISED AS TO THE DIFFERENCE IN STYLES......EVEN WITHIN MANY OF THE SPACES....THE STYLES CAN SWITCH UP ON YOU BEFORE YOU KNOW IT .... ...
