#newmusicsundays is Lulu’s Playground’s grand effort to bring you something new and unique once a week. With the advancements in recording technology, there is really no excuse for us NOT to do something like this. We at the Playground believe that bringing you something new and different every week is important for us as artists. It forces us to be creative every week, and to work hard to bring you something relatively polished and listenable. So, when you’re sitting at home in your undies, or eating breakfast with your significant other, or doing the business, or whatever, turn us on and listen. Odds are, you are going to hear something you’ve never heard before, and hopefully it will challenge you the same way that it challenged us.

Isn’t that cool?

This week: Is There Anybody Here That Love My Jesus

This was a new tune for us this week. We spent the first hour and a half of our rehearsal doing some guided free improvisation to get us in the right mindset. Then we started to rehearse Is “There Anybody Here…” We decided after playing through the tune a few times that we should probably do some singing (challenge #1).

On a sidenote, somewhere along the lines of forming this band we all decided that we are singers, so we sing sometimes. Its weird. and cool.

We went upstairs and watched some cool (and one kinda funny, but also cool) youtube videos of people singing “Is There Anybody Here That Love My Jesus” and talked over an arrangement of the tune. As you will hear, we started with some call and response, and then moved on to the tune, and ended with a little singin’ as well.

We think the recording turned out pretty nice, and it is definitely a tune that we will permanently add to our repertoire. Enjoy your new music this week!
