News & Notes

Just a quick note to let you all know of what is going on in the world of Punch Judy. We have learned some new material and will be hopefully performing it Friday Aug 28th at the Rathskeller. Anyway.. the songs we have learned are:

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
U2 - Vertigo
O.A.R - Shattered (Turn the Car Around)
3 Doors Down - It's Not My Time
Kings of Leon - Sex is On Fire
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

and possibly:
Seether - Rise Above This
Theory of a Deadman - Not Meant To Be

After this batch of songs, we have another 8 or so we'll learn, etc, etc. We'd like to learn about 25 new songs, which is nearly two full sets of new material! Mostly more modern rock "hits". We already to a lot of "classic hits", and it's time we do some modern stuff. The problem with modern stuff, is it's usually here today and gone tomorrow. You have to constantly learn material. But with the "Classics", it's timeless, but played to death. We're looking to inject some new life into the band so that it's more fun for everyone, especially us!

We also bought some new subwoofers and will soon be working on adding more lighting. We also are going to add a couple effect processors for the vocals and drums. We need it. Punch has been going strong for 16 years, and the older we get, the busier our lives become. We all have jobs, families, children, etc... so it becomes much harder to focus your energy on the band. But we've been on auto-pilot for long enuff, and we are all motivated to "return to form"... that being the best rock band in town! So stay tuned!
