oWhoadYo: My Band Just Got Its First Gig

Cipieron 07.27.12	congrats man! my band is still looking for a singer, but we've been hard at work for a couple months making songs.. so i definitely know how hard the waiting is lol. you guys have a reverbnation/myspace page?
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Yeah! The waiting is horrible. You got all these songs and you know that if you could just get what you need, you could go play live and get stuff rolling. I have a Soundcloud.
Trebor17 07.27.12	sweet
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	oh dude nice. im sure it will be fun, especially since you playing with another band.
breakingthefragile 07.27.12	Nice, I never knew you had a band Flutter. What kind of music do you guys play?
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Are you asking about my band? Or Flutters'?
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	yeah lol wtf, either you saw the other thread and asked it here(which why would you do that) also this thread/list has nothing to do with me.
breakingthefragile 07.27.12	I was directing that at Flutter, but what kind of music does your band play oWhoadYo? I'm curious to know that as well. :D
breakingthefragile 07.27.12	Wait a second, I thought this list was by Fluttertrank rofl sorry guys, I fucked up.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	lol nice. hahahahaha
breakingthefragile 07.27.12	Okay so, I'll start over then lol. What kind of music does your band play oWhoadYo? xD
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Umm.... Okay. We play Alt. Rock, Sludge Metal, Shoegaze and Doom Metal. We mix in some Psychedelic and Stoner influences as well. We also do Thrash often. Sometimes even Folk.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	who is the band you are playing with?
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	A shoegaze band Called Barlow.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	lol i see a local band.
JakeStallion 07.27.12	Congrats dude! My band's having trouble looking for a vocalist since everyone around here that's a good singer is completely unreliable and/or a douchebag.
breakingthefragile 07.27.12	Sounds pretty kickass. Best of luck to you guys on your first gig. I've been in a couple bands in the past and neither of them ever made it out of the garage if you know what I mean lol, so congrats man. :D
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Yeah, I know what you mean. Everyone around here Wasn't interested in what we play so they wouldn't play drums. Plus they are all Death Core douchebag bros with snapbacks and cargo shorts. We found a friend of mine had a set and he played sometimes, he wasn't very good but he was cool. So we decided that I'd work with him and that we'd practice constantly so he learns how to fluently play with a band. He's gotten almost gig ready since.
eternium 07.27.12	If you went to local shows all the time then you'd have no problem getting on shows since you'd meet the right people.
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I refuse to go to local shows. I hate Bro-core with a passion and that's all there is around me. Where My band is gonna be playing isn't really "Local" We have to drive for about an hour and a half just to get there. We'll be playing there a lot now though.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	yeah that sucks, always suck when you dont fit in locally. my area is thrash/death/core but most of the thrash and death sucks big time here
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	No deathcore is good. Remember that.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	yeah deathcore is such a waste of a genre. even when it first started it sucked. its not like metalcore where is started out good then turned into shit(even though i still like a lot new metalcore)
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I really don't like Any Metalcore. At all
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	really? not converge, integrity, coalesce or Botch
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Nope. They all bore me. Especially Converge and Botch. Jacob Bannon is one of the worst vocalists I've ever heard, but that's just me. The music sounds completely uninspired and bloated. As if they just want to shock you by being "lol so edgy and loud and brootal!". I've always felt their lyrics to be laughable too. That's what you get for being influenced by Hardcore Punk So much. Yuck.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	ahh i get where you are coming from. i grew up punk/hardcore, every ones different i guess
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Yeah. I guess I respect them for creating a genre but I hate their music with a passion. Almost as much as these new fake sludge bands everyone loves.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	man you are trve haha
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Kylesa, Baroness and Mastodon are some of THE WORST bands ever. I swear.
Fluttertrank 07.27.12	i like a few albums my mastodon, but most of there work really isnt that good. never heard the others. but hey i dont know anything about sludge
JakeStallion 07.27.12	Mastodon's awesome, man. But yeah, the local scene around here sucks too. It's all white trash high school drop out rappers, hipster indie-folk bands, 80s cover bands, and deathcore bands.
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I just can't stand them. But your local scene sounds lame too. It's hard for bands these days, it really is.
CaptainDooRight 07.27.12	congrats bro! whats the link for your music, id love to hear it
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Thanks man! Here's the link http://soundcloud.com/elemantraband The first two tracks are rough live takes, like it says as their title. The rest are (Slightly) better recorded. Don't be to judgmental.
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I recommend the song "Purgatory". I've been told it's my best work, and I believe it is. Well best recorded work that is. I have better songs they're just not recorded yet.
ZombicidalMan 07.27.12	For someones who claims to hate Baroness, it's funny that Purgatory's leads gave off some mad Baroness vibes (at least to me). The solo was very Smashing Pumpkin-y, liked it a lot. Cool stuff though, could use some work, but who cares. You got a gig. Good luck dude
Sirob 07.27.12	does playing the talent show count as a gig?
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Really? It did? Well... that sucks to hear. But at least you liked it! And, yeah my guitar playing is heavily inspired by the mastermind that is Billy Corgan.
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	@Sirob Ummm... Yes?
Sirob 07.27.12	w00000 m/
ZombicidalMan 07.27.12	I also heard a bit of a Pelican influence in there, don't know if I'm misplacing that though! But yeah dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjfOLaCLFto Purgatory's intro sounds like that to me, and no not so close that it's a rip off but it's similarly structured. That may only be me though
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	Has anyone else heard my music? I always love feedback and to hear other's opinions and criticism. Positive Criticism.
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I guess I hear it. The way My distorted guitar comes in over the ambient cleans. I've never heard this song though.
Nikkolae 07.27.12	congrats man, keep the ball rolling and dont sleep on it! the start is the easiest part, keep it going is whats hard :D
SgtPepper 07.27.12	Congrats, mate! I hope you guys get many more.
ILikeRepetitiveMusic 07.27.12	Nicely done brother. How old are you fellas? I started a band recently myself and I'm just curious how old people generally are when they get their first gig
oWhoadYo 07.27.12	I am 16. I sing, play lead guitar and write most of the music and lyrics. Our drummer is 16, bassist is 17 and Second guitarist just turned 18 two days ago.
