I Formed A Band!?

Keelah Se'Lai!

I formed a band. Yes, you heard/read right. Yesterday I formed a band with a friend of mine. So far we're only 2 people + a possible drummer. I am the vocalist and songwriter if you're wondering. I'll give you the long story.

6 Months ago I started singing along the songs I listened to and eventually concluded that I'm not actually a bad singer, so I kept going, singing my heart out until eventually I noticed myself getting better. About 6 months later I decided I was good enough for the time being and decided to focus on my songwriting skills - Which I had never tested. So I wrote my first song... 4-5 days ago. As it was half done and in a draft state, I posted it to Facebook, and to my amazement, people said it was really friggin' awesome.

Then our guitarist came around and was like "Ima see if I can make a riff for that" and then it kind of took off from there. A couple of days later I basically asked him "Do we officially have a band now?" and when he answered "Yes", he basically made my day. So I went home and researched, trying to come up with a list of stuff I need to buy in order for us to record some stuff. In the past, I had considered buying a mixer and a microphone, but concluded it wasn't worth the money in terms of solely doing YouTube videos, but as we formed a band, I suddenly had very good reason to do so.

What I'm thinking about is a Samson C01 and a Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixer. Nothing fancy. Also, I'm considering investing a little more in an AT2020 Mic instead. As for the band, we're aiming to play multi-genre metal, and we have already decided to have one of our major genres be Progressive Metal. Also, the lyrics are gonna be quite reminiscent of Folk Metal, as much of my inspiration comes from Wuthering Heights.
