Blotted Science Planning Live Debut For November/December
BLOTTED SCIENCE (Ron Jarzombek, Alex Webster, Charlie Zeleny) have posted the following update:
“So how many bands do you know of that release an album, then finally have their first live rehearsal eight months later? I know of one. ‘The Machinations of Dementia’ was released [last] September and we finally had our first live rehearsal [the] weekend [of June 1st - 2nd] in Tampa, Florida at Mana Recording Studios.
Not too long after the CD was released to much critical acclaim, fans were inquiring about live dates and offers were also coming in for us to play gigs and festivals. We were not sure how things would even work in a live situation because we had never played together. As a matter of fact, Alex, Charlie and I had never been in the same room together until this past January at NAMM in Anaheim, CA!
Our biggest hurdle in trying to pull a live situation together was matching up our schedules to where all three of us had time off from our other bands and work schedules, and could meet up. Our main objective at the rehearsal was to get a feel of where we were at with the rather intricate material, see what could be pulled off as a trio (I tend to overdub lots of guitars…), gauge how much rehearsal time we’d need to pull off a set, play the material together for real, and see where we could take things. After two full days and many hours of playing together, along with quick stops to Applebee’s and visiting our friends in DREAM THEATER and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, we figured that we could actually slay the beast!
And so where does everything stand right now in terms of taking this thing outta cyberspace and on to a stage? Given the extreme schedules all three band members have, it looks as if there will be a window of opportunity in November/December ‘08. Stay tuned for more news when plans and schedules get finalized, and hopefully BLOTTED SCIENCE will be coming to a town near you!”
