Hello everyone.
The members of our band that were injured are getting way better. I have finished writing the intro to another song. Tim has been on a roll with his music writing. And school is almost here. I am hoping that we can have at least one band meet before school starts, but I do not know if that is possible. Since Timothy is going back to collage, and I am going to high school.
See ya'll later. We are going to visit Josh:)

Hello,
Sorry to keep you all waiting for a month and a week. We have not had a band meet for a while because two of our band members are injured. Ture broke his hand, and Josh got a concussion, broken collar bone, and a hernia :P So this summer we may not have much going on with the band.
Tim and I continue to write lyrics and music for them. Shannon is also writing lyrics and music.
Soon Tim and I are going to start cleaning out our basment so once our members are better, we can have a better place to practice our stuff, instead of the living room. :)
Tim has printed out tabs for one of his songs.
It may not seem like we have done a lot in the past month, but writing an entire song is not easy. Once the band members get better we will continue to have practice's as usual. But until then we, as individual members, have to work on the stuff that we have.
thank you for being so patient for us to post again,
--Shannon

Changes afoot
Hello everyone.
This is going to be a relatively short post, as I am incredibly exhausted right now, but there is some news that must be shared.
First off, we have decided to change our band name. Shannon, Banana, and I agree that our current name really doesn't go with our musical direction. I mean, we're pretty much power metal with a heavy piano sound. I don't think that Just Like You, as much as I like the name, really goes with us. Hopefully we'll figure out a new name soon. I already have a few ideas.
Secondly, on a happier note, I have actually written my first song from start to finish! Most of the ones I had before have been started, but never finished. This new one has just been finished. The first draft has, anyway. I still need to go over it to revise and perfect the sound.
Well, I'll update once we decide on a new band name.
See you!
Timothy

Covers!
Well, we're finally getting our show on the road.
We've started a cover of "Everdream" by Nightwish, as Banana mentioned in the last post. I've wanted to cover this song for a long time. And I'm doing the vocals!
We're also covering "My Immortal" by Evanescence. Shannon's doing the vocals for that one, and I'm doing the backing vocals.
We're also going to cover "Friday" by Rebecca Black (and we're going to make it awesome), and, if we have time, "Pardon Me" by Maxine Swaby. I want to make a metal cover of that, that would totally rock.
Anyway, that's all for now.
Until next time,
Timothy

Band Meet
Hi,
it's me, Banana.
Sunday we had another band meet. Shannon couldn't make it, but Josh, Chris, and Ture came. Ture is now our new guitarist. him and I will be switching off between rythym and lead guitar. You may be wondering what became of Josh. Josh is now our drummer. We are all very excited. Just Like You is currently working on a cover of 'Ever dream' by nightwish, and a song of our own, that Tim wrote.
Things are going better than I expected. Tim has written a lead and rythym guitar part to his song, we have a drum and base part. My favorite peice of the song is a piano part though.
Ture is an exelent guitarist, he took lessons from the same person I do.
I am currantly working on a guitar peice for some lyrics I have written, I already gave Tim the piano bit of it.
From a very happy,
--Shannon :)

some lyrics I wrote
Hi all,
Banana here. I have pretty much gone on a lyric writing spree. I'm not going to post them, but one of the songs even I like. I am not a fan of most of my lyrics. other people like some of it though...like my brother Tim. I am currently writing some actual music to go with some of the lyrics.
so far I have a piano peice and part of a guitar peice.
I need to work more on the guitar peice, but I am pretty pleased with the piano. We will have another band meet soon. but mostly for the past few weeks we have been writing and rewriting.
see ya 'll later!

Hey Everyone!
Hey!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We haven't been having band meets as often because of school. But in two weeks school will be over, and then I'm hoping to have us meet regularly.
I've started writing a new song! The difference between this one and all the others is that I actually like the lyrics and feel like I'll enjoy singing them. That's a first!
Well anyway, I'll post some pictures of the band once we start having band rehearsals again.
Until next time,
Timothy
