effort.


This is the inaugural post on my new blog, "The Chance Lewis Effort". The blog's name is a reference to an EP I've been working on entitled "effort."

The story behind effort is...

Why is it that when a band releases a CD, it's called an album or a record, but when a member of said band "goes solo", the release is called a project or an "effort."?

At the same time, the concept of "effort." as being an uncool thing is referenced in my song "Staged Stage Moms" (We Are Chance Lewis, 2008):

"They reek of effort and the 80s, still though, they try and look like they don't try".

Please do bookmark, comment, tell a friend, or talk shit on or about this blog. Hopefully more posts to come.
