And right on about the popularity. It might sound cheesy and DEFINITELY naive, but my friend and I still have the dream of hitting it big, hence the playing of original material and associating with local promoters. It's the reason we're trying so hard to find guys who share our interests. If it wasn't we'd totally be content with writing and recording music in my basement and just listening to it afterwards, which I'm sure that's what it'll come to before long. I haven't hit the brick wall that reads "end of the dream here my friend, time to start thinking about a normal life!", so I still have the bug. I know how much of a long-shot it is, but for some reason that doesn't break my optimism. Can't help but think we have "something". Who knows. We both agreed that if these guys don't work out, we'll probably just settle with writing music between the two of us, because it's easier and we have a lot of fun doing it without all of the trouble of finding people, transporting stuff, practise space, getting gigs, etc.
