As part of my development within Kidderminster College, I have formed a new Alternative rock Band Called Rock Dove, putting together an ensemble with 90% ex Kidderminster College students worked wonders.
The band composed by Myself(Lead Guitar), Keelan Pearman (Vocals & Rhythm guitar) , Matilda Jones (Bass Guitar) and Elliot Potts (Drums).
The idea for this band resulted in the unfortunate breakup of a covers/funtion band Myself and Keelan were apart of. After a few sessions the band agreed that they did not intend to become an Originals band and they wanted to continue as a functions band.
Keelan and Myself then decided that a change of scenery was needed and that's when we created Rock Dove.
In an attempt to make rehearsing/recording and general band business, I repurposed an old cellar that was being used for storage as our very own rehearsal/recording studio. We have so far acquired a Pearl Export 5 piece drum kit, an Ashdown 2x10 300watt bass amp, a Marshall DSL20 Valve amp, a condenser Mic and an Sm58, a behringer audio interface, a Midi keyboard and are using a Bose s1 Pro as our temporary Vocal PA system.
Current studio looks
We have currently 3 songs written, and ready to record, "Enigma", "Return Home" and "Call to Adventure"
Looking to start recording these next week, we'll record these with Lead Guitar, Rhythm guitar, then send this off to Matilda to overdub her Bass like on to the track, and finally add some programmed drums until we can have the whole band at college to record the drums and make use of their resources.
See you next week!
