:) yeah thats everything.
I say 2007 because thats when the IDEA for Freelance first came to, if I'm honest I don't have anything from back then but we did record some stuff . . . but its gone now so meh but thats where it all started. 2009 was where things really took off though and when it became public knowledge that we're a band.
If I'm honest initially I didn't want to join a band, didn't think I was good enough, thought I'd be wasting my time, but I really enjoy what freelance does and Its fun. It says I joined in 2007 but really it was months after stevie and tom came up with the idea for it, an unamed band when I showed up, it wasn't until I joined that stevie and I thought of the name freelance. . . it sounded good and it made sense, because of how distant we are from other people. . . take that to mean what you want but what I mean is we're loners all of us, its nothing bad we just prefer to be out of the way, independent . . . and so freelance was born. . . I'd go on to talk about the rest of the history but thats a story for another day/post
if you find this blog by chance and you aren't a hacker then please check us out, we're all over the place now :) but if you've seen the link from either youtube or facebook, welcome :) I'll be working on this blog over time. . . either after practices or when I feel like talking about freelance, so please check back, I'll talk about band progress, history and what we hope to accomplish.
