Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Well lads, strangely enough after several years of waffling, waiting , watching...
I'm starting a band!

You know, since I'm a member of BANDmix & all...


Hey, better late than never...

Great news Rich!

Every bodys playin' but me!

Are ya gonna' be playing the ol' Ullleanns in the band?

yeah, fer sure, along with low whistle & stuff.

I'm all into switching off stuff with other folks, so guitar(s) for sure at times , bass or heck even drums sometimes just to shake things up!

I'm in the gathering phase, with drummer, bassist, lead vox(F{wife}) / keys, +h my part: & our first get together in early Jan...
Sould be phun..

I'll keep you all poasted as to how the things progressing..
And, in case you're wondering what I'm wanting to do, here's the latest ad for a guitarist:

Thats cool man. I wish you the best. Keep it fun and all will come to you in its time.
PS

Tent revival + dark beer. Yea man I'm in.
I've sat n had a cold one with more than one good old fashoned German Lutheren Pastor.

Can't wait to hear what you come up with, piperman.

Best of luck.

Not playing over here (Sigh)

But, I am going to a studio to record with this great musician. He has almost all the instrumentals laid for "White Rabbit" and Monday (so far) I am going over to record my vocals. So I will have at least another song to post. One that is hopefully better made than what I have up.

We'll see how it works out.

Good luck, Robin.

Oh and Celtic, my first post looks childish now that I read it , so yea grats and don't forget to upload stuff for us to hear.

yeah, when things get rollin, I'll be sure to post up what we're coming up with...

Piper,
If you're goin' traditional Celtic,
When ya get to takin' requests, Id like to hear ya do "Rockey Road to Dublin".

Good luck with your new venture, just curious what kind music or genre will you be playing?

Well, honestly, I set out to do a fusion thing..leaning toward not quite a rock band per se, but once & a while goin all out...just with some cool Irish instrumentation as well as guitars etc

But, lately, in talking things over with my seniour band manager (my wife), I'm seriously considering scrapping the original idea in favor of performing her music.

She writes some amazing stuff, that if done in a full band setting, would be really powerful. & I would of course sneak in pipes, whistle, bodhran etc
It's probably not of huge interest around here, as it's purely Christian/worship stuff..but I'll be glad to share once we've got stuff goin..
Actually, she did write the short piece I'm playing in my profile...which is sorely in need of updating btw.


soooo, with all that said, I guess I'm gonna go back to the fellows to whom I pitched my original rockier idea to, and see who's in.


That's the state of the state tinite.

That thigns ancient!
Someone once called it 'guitar wankery'
