[QUOTE=billiejoe84]Yeah, that must have been a bit wierd.

In fairness, I don't play in a band to get ladies. Most of them are switched-on enough to realise that I'm an awful man, guitar skills or not.[/QUOTE]

So of course, I'm always the "groupie whore" now. For all my friends bands, because I'm the only girl who runs in that circle. But, oh well.

Ha...That's what happens almost every time I babysit.

Chris is playing a gig this friday! Get pumped!

Yup, i'm actually really enjoying the game, nice speed and nice frame-rate etc...

How exciting. Is it a big one?

/wants to play another gig


/is sick of writing about Selye's GAS Syndrome


Bloody university.

I want a band. :(
My old band could have been so good, but my friend had to ruin it.
I just want a way to play the music I like, but I can never get a single style.
I write some Straylight Run style ballads, some Alkaline Trio songs in Matts style, and some TBS style songs. And none of my friends are good on instruments, or already have bands, which sucks for me. :(

/gets pumped.

Heck yes.

[QUOTE=tsl_ste]what new DS game have you got?[/QUOTE]

Need for speed underground 2.

I wanted a Racing game, i bought Ridge Racer yesterday, but then swapped it for N4S today, it's much better.

I was going to get Yoshi's touch and go, but thought that N4S has more life in it, i'll get YT&G at me other point though.

I'm most looking forward to another code, Mario Kart, Metroid Hunters, Mario Bros and Pac Pix to get though...

[QUOTE=Puma]/Gets crunk.[/QUOTE]

:naughty:

Nah, it's a small gig but I'm excited nonetheless. We are so unprepared.

Yeah, i want a band too, but my mate who was in it with me fell out with me over it.

Good luck, hope it goes well.

Gah, it's impossible to start a band around here...

But I don't think I'd want to. I like planning/booking shows and all that jazz.

I have an internship next year with a local record label. We'll see how that works out. Ha.

pac pix is out, you know? i have it.

the yoshi game is good, i dont know... i just feels like a novilty, a greta one, i admit, i love it.

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]Good luck, hope it goes well.[/QUOTE]

Thanks babe.

Its easy to get a gig here, theres a pub i go to, and all you have to do it go up on stage, well i say stage, its just a closed off part of the floor, and play, its called "jam night" and if the pub likes you, you can get regular slots playing and stuff.

well, i'm gonna go get naked, throw on some sweet choons and relax in a shower.

cya ya'll in a bit.

yeah, i know.

I mean i'm looking forward to buying it.

So many great games coming out.

Chris - Try and get a recording of your show! I remember everyone found my first show's recording hilarious when I uploaded it a while ago... Mainly due to Rik and my terrible vocals.

Around here we rent out places and book our own shows. So it's not hard to get a gig, you just do it yourself.

We've had As Cities Burn and Spoken come through and play shows organized by local teenagers.

It's kind of cool, honestly. Go about an hour off and there's a great hardcore scene.

Ha, i still have it.

"Hello everyone"

The place does recording but I don't know if we're going to do it just because the quality will be so bad. But I was discussing recording opportunities with the drummer last night and it looks good. There's a bunch of places around here that recored really well (Clover Hill and Marigold both have incredible recording) plus the drummer knows a kid who has a semi-studio in his basement.

I wish York had a decent scene. There's a bit of a death metal thang going on, which my housemate next year is involved with, but there are pretty much no small pop-punk or ska-punk shows at all. The last local pop-punk show I was at was my band's one. Which is a bit pitiful, and it's not for lack of trying to find shows.


York = crap for live music.

Man, i've really got to get a badn sorted.

Chris, do you play any covers ? and if so what covers ?

What type of music do you play, and what instrument do you play ?

We have a few post-hardcore/screamo bands around here that are halfway decent.

And a few really crappy metal bands. That's pretty much it for my town.

I think theres some places you can rent out, but since my town used to hold the record for the most pubs in a square area (i think) then you can get gigs and crowds pretty easy.

Most bands around here are indie/punk, theres a big indie scene in manchester.

We might be doing either an ATDI, Joy Division or Thursday cover. We play indie/rock basically, the guitarist is influenced alot by Interpol. I play bass, there are two guitars and drums. I sing on some songs and one of the guitarists sings on the other ones. I guess my biggest influence is Thursday. But we go from like fast, dancy songs with clap parts to slow, reverb songs.

Ah. I seem to have reached the point where I can't be arsed with work anymore. My dissertation is driving me nuts! I'm gonna go and have a pint now, see you guys later.

Cool, my mate is a big Modest Mouse and Interpol fan.

I like Thursday, i have Full Collapse.

In our band, i wanted to do pop-punk/punk songs, but the bassist wanted to do slow, clean songs and we ended up coming to blows...

Ta-ra.

wow, i've gone past 7k...

I think I'm going to leave the indie band after this gig and pursue one of the following:

-A post-hardcore band that I've written about 6 songs for. I had originally been jamming these with the drummer of the indie band but it was put on hiatus cause of the indie band.
-A good pop-punk band, like Saves The Day or The Starting Line. The pop-punk bands around here are horrendous
-An acoustic band. I was writing some acoustic stuff today and it sounded cool.

I'm also putting together a metalcore band that's going to sound like Norma Jean.
