Where I Want To Be

It has been months and months since I last wrote a blog. I was thinking about going back and hitting all of the ones I should of wrote hard however due to my less than perfect memory I wouldn't want to get any of the past ventures incorrect in my accounts. In those months Amy Can Flyy have released the video and single for "Letting Go Of The Monster", completed a extensive UK tour and even managed to travel across the ocean to our European fans and still make it back alive.

I have always looked at Amy Can Flyy as a series of experiences, I think its important to take what you get as you get it and enjoy those moments while they are around. Instead of setting out to reach a point where your "going" to be happy, its all about the process to me. Needless to say Europe was one part of the process that I will never forget. Check out the video of our time on the Amy Can Flyy Facebook.

Recently Ive found myself fighting off the same annual freak out that has been apart of my life for the last six years, its a strangely comforting feeling, a reluctant sense of familiarity in my life that I am yet to shake. Its at this randomly selected time of the year that I find myself trying to find my place, working out where I myself exactly fit in within the boundaries of my own life, questioning the logic behind my thought patterns and the consequences of my lifestyle. Its for this reason that I have decided to cut down on alcohol and general disregard for what makes me healthy, since Europe I think I have been in a constant search for an equal high on what was fueling me over there however as sad as it may be, no English beer or croissant will fill that void.

In the last few weeks the band have been getting a fair bit of TV play on Lava, Scuzz, Starz and MTV Rocks as far as I'm aware. Its something incredible for the whole band, I have very nostalgic memory's of being thirteen years of age and watching a Warped Tour feature on Scuzz and knowing that being in a band was exactly what I wanted to do with my life, I guess since that age I haven't really looked back. Also spent a day this week up in the studio recording some demos and writing some new tracks with Ben and Jolyon for the new ep. I have to admit I get riddled with anxiety when we are writing, I think we all just want the new ep to be perfect and the worry that we wont produce something that us personally are happy with 12 months down the line frightens the hell out of me.

In short the band feels great right now, things are going well for us and it is a understatement to say I am exited for the rest of the year and whats to come. I am promising myself to keep more on top of this blog and not let such a mountainous amount of time pass before I let my fingers touch the keys again. One love.
