Thought: Rehearsing for the P4th gig…

Yesterday, I spent a while going through my original songs. Trying to see if I still remember the lyrics to all of my songs since I haven’t played a gig in a long while.  It appears that I still remember most all of my lyrics to my songs to my surprise.

I’m still on the break and hiatus of performing gigs, I accepted this P4th one since I miss playing shows out there and I want to get out there at least once or a couple of times this summer to play a few shows. I’ve been concentrating on the guitar skills more than the actual songwriting to be honest so I haven’t been really writing many songs, still trying to learn better guitar.

I’m honestly starting to get bored of the acoustic guitar, and I want to soon get into electric playing. Become an electric player in hopes of getting my own band going down the road. I always liked acoustic music, don’t get me wrong. But I had always been into electric rock music my entire life and I was meant to pick up the electric guitar from the very beggining. I really want to write rock songs. I’ve always been writing rock songs that were meant for electric guitar in a full band but I write them on acoustic first to save them for the full band electric down the road.

Me not gigging a whole lot this time around has nothing to do with the negative and childish drama I get from people in the music scene, I really could care less about that anymore as I’ve made a vow to stay out of negative drama completely last year and so far it’s working. If you’re a musician, and if so many people hate you, so fucking what. It’s not the end of the world. You should only concentrate on yourself and the people who support your music, don’t feed the haters.

You know, people out there can call me a negative spiteful troll all they want. They can judge and slander me all they want to. The fact is, people know nothing about me when they think they do. I do what I want to do and say what I want to say, period.

Anyhow, for my P4th gig, I’ll probably will wind up bringing my videocam to tape my performance for youtube, plus to videotape the other bands playing there for a little bit, and maybe interview some people at the club in a videoblog just for a little fun and laughs, I’ll look around for really drunk and wasted people to get them going on the Brock cam, lol.

Looking forward to playing there so those in the area should make plans into coming out. I put a “gig calendar” link in this blog for more information. I’ll be soon making a flyer for this gig once I get full details and information.

Gig Announcement: Positively 4th Street in Troy, N.Y. May 31st

I finally got a gig confirmation. I’ve been offered to play a gig at Positively 4th Street or better known as “P4th” in Troy, N.Y. on May 31st @ 9 p.m.. I’ll be opening for the bands The Rob Skane 3 and No Call No Show.

More details to follow in the future, I need to know how much this gig is going to cost and the age limit will come soon, then I will make a flyer to promote it with.

P4th is a new venue I never played at before although I visited the venue in person once. It’s a cool place and the owners are cool people.

While there’s not many venues to play at in the Capital District anymore, P4th do all they can to keep the local music scene alive so I respect them for that.

For this blog I plan on putting up a gig calendar to embed here so I can promote my future gigs, I’m still looking for the mp3 widget jukebox player to embed here so you can listen to my songs while you read the blog too, I’ve been looking into all that stuff all week. Those stuff are coming for the blog soon. I want my blog to be my “Official” music website from this point on.

Report: I will be moving my music to “Facebook Music” soon…

I find the Facebook Music website a lot better than myspace. I think I will be moving there full time, Facebook Music maybe my new home. This week, I’ll create a Facebook page. Myspace is just too whacked and too mainstream for my tastes. Facebook is less popular than myspace and I like that.

I’ve been trying to write some new songs, been coming up with ideas. I haven’t been playing shows ’cause I want to write new stuff, I get tired of playing the old ones live.

I won’t make a facebook page until I finish recording some new songs on the computer though. I want to show off my new stuff instead of re-releasing my old material.

Just wanted to let you know what’s up with my music.

“Take A Little Trip With Me”

by Kev Brock

You work so hard, you’re getting so tired

You can’t seem to, get a rest

You work so hard, you want to leave to a special place to spend some time alone

You tried so hard, to get away

but everything holds you back

You tried so hard, to leave this place but everybody wants you to stay right home

Take a flight, take a plane

Find a new life, to refresh your brain

Take a flight to have some fun

Find a new life to get away
CHORUS:
Take a little trip, take a little trip

Take a little trip with me

Take a little trip, take a little trip

Don’t want to go alone, come with me

You live so hard, for your life

All you want is to feel real good

You live so hard, to live forever

It’s a special place to be with your love

You look so hard, for a better world

but everything holds you down

You look so hard, so you can be ready for a nice vacation so you can relax

Take a flight, take a plane

Find a new life to refresh your brain

Take a flight to have some fun

Find a new life to get away

(repeat chorus a couple of times)
