[QUOTE=karmapavementplan;18088635]well that's useful for fledgling bands trying to get people to find their myspace.[/QUOTE]

One trick can be to pick a name that isn't taken by anything else, so people can do a google search and be guaranteed to get it to come right up.

Jimbob, get out of bass and go to movies/video games/tech.

Pickle download my old band's EP.

Yeah, but sugarmouse is a pretty epic naame to have to part with.

Bleh. Boredom has officially set in. Hence why I am here.

Just got back from band jam. Awww, yeah.

Re-read the sentence, it might pop out at you.

Ryan you should grab it too, and Rollo for that matter. If you feel like it of course :).

Nah, question still stands.

Oh, you would get a free copy of my band's old EP, sorry for not making that clearer.

Gaslight, that was a tautology.


"Hey everybody, if you download a copy of my band's old EP, you'll have a copy of my band's old EP on your computer that you downloaded because I told you to download my band's old EP so that you could have a copy of my band's old EP."

I was just playing along with him being a smartypants about it, I wasn't trying to upset the flux capacitor.

Had a good gig last night and had someone offer to be our drummer who saw us. Capital. The recording didn't come out though.

Yes, but what do [I]I[/I] get out of it?

You would get to listen to the songs.

Yeah, still not with you.

Anyone about? It's 8:30am and I haven't slept yet. Insomnia is a bitch.

Amen to that, admittedly it's only 1:20am here but I've got to get up in 3 hours to get back for work, joy of joys eh

Ouch. Big ouch. Luckily I'm currently unemployed (besides being a musician), so I've got nothing to do today until my rehearsal tonight. That said, I definitely feel your pain there dude, I've worked multiple early-start jobs while battling insomnia.

Luckily unemployed? Not often I hear that lol I'm not actually working till 8 but I've got the joy of playing taxi early on, ain't I glad the mrs doesn't drive.

Gotta admit I miss having a band something fierce sometimes. It was nice having a hobby that made money instead of being a drain on it.

Playing in a band is great, [b]if[/b] you, and the rest of your band are dedicated to what you're doing and all get along. Otherwise, to me, there's just no point - I've been in enough bands that were going nowhere, it's nice to finally be in a band that seems like it's going places.

And yep, I feel pretty lucky to be (virtually) unemployed - I highly suggest it to anyone who can survive from a little gig money here and there!

Yeah having the band all getting on makes one hell of a difference, the last band I was in fell apart when me and the drummer started being left out of decisions. Eventually we ended up having a major barney with the other 3 guys and we just decided it best to walk away from it. Only snag for both groups was that there was a severe shortage of drummers and singers so it ended up that I just stopped looking for a band after a while and went to do other things. In fact I recently heard from the singer and keys guy. Ended up having a few pints and found out we could all get on again, shame the guitarist still holds a grudge after all that time.

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle;18091518]Yeah, still not with you.[/QUOTE]

I forget what you were like before you were a jackass on here, so I'm not sure whether I miss it or not.

itt gaslight gets mad

prbly b/c hes in the bass forum

I'm not mad Liam you ****ing ****

My new gig bag arrived today, stoked :D

Radial.

Well, I meant to type radical, but Radial was just so awesome I had to keep it there.

Speaking of items arriving - my Mexi-Jazz (the project bass) arrived on Monday afternoon after waiting about a month. I put it together, set it up and played it and I'm already impressed. Also getting my Winnipeg Jets hat shipped up today so that's gonna be awesome. So I guess it's safe to say I'm quite stoked here as well.

Also, I got the EP, Gaslight. This of course caused me to unearth a major conflict - can two Matts function properly on one message board? Or will the Earth divide by zero and cause the rapture or something.

I dug a good bit of it, although I have to admit I found it pretty hard to sit through two eight-plus minute songs back to back and wished they would've been more spread out. (which makes me feel like a total di[SIZE="2"]ck[/SIZE], being as I write tons of songs that are really long as well, hahah.) Also would've liked to hear more drumming on Icarus Complex... but Juju Fever kicked my a[SIZE="2"]ss a whole bunch.[/SIZE]

so yeah.

EDIT: had to edit spatula back to di[SIZE="2"]ck[/SIZE] - can't stand curse filters.

Radial indeed. Glad you liked it :).

The Mono case is fantastic, a bit light on pockets compared to what I like (the amount of pockets I like is excessive anyhow) but the case itself is dynamite.

mm. The project Jazz came with a gigbag but I gave it to a friend of mine, being that I have a hardshell case that I used to house my Spector in. I'll keep that for the Jazz and just sell the Spector by its lonely lonely self. :upset:

I feel like a dink selling that thing, it brought me several good years of playing and is my only unit past 21 frets. but I guess better to put it in the hands of someone who'll use it, eh?

Oh while I'm sounding off the gig Saturday was a blast - we filled our whole set, start to finish seven songs. Six original, one cover. Our drummer bowed out two days before the gig and the guy we replaced him with had only two practices with us and absolutely tore it up, he was awesome. When we started there were two people there - the sound guy and the event co-ordinator. By the end of our set there were twenty or thirty people there, so I was pretty happy about that. Not to mention it started raining midway through our last song, which is the heaviest proggiest one, so that was a surreal spiritual experience. I just turn around and Jordan is beating the kit to death and water is flying everywhere... awesome.

We're actually probably going to record as well now, so that pumps me up huge. one tune about half-done so far.

Nice one man, haven't had a really good gig in a while here.

I hear that - I've rarely had a truly good gig, one I could be excited about. Playing in my band back in high-school was usually fun, although not always, and playing by myself here at open mics was almost always totally crap. Plus if I'm writing my own music I'm more often than not confined to a guitar and not bass, which I prefer to play anyway... but hey. Maybe I'll start some crazy solo bass junk when I finish the project bass, or maybe I'll take over bass duties in my project some time.

Either way, as far as playing live goes now I'm pretty much going to do it on my own terms, the way I want to. Should make it a lot more interesting.

Every gig we play is good. Even when we f[size=2]uck[/size] up, or have a small turn out, or a play a crappy venue, we just make the most of it.

Agree with Ben. I miss gigging soooo much :(

Me and a friend are thinking of starting a band without a drummer,and programming the drums. We're thinking of getting a powerful full range PA cab and a 2kW power amp to run our drums through live, and also feeding a signal to the desk as well. Could be epic, or megafails.

chris get on msn

Maybe. In a bit.
