"So, how many of you are in bands, then?"

Just as a point of interest, i'd be intruiged to know if any of you are in bands...
What are you called?
Are you good?
Bad?
Ugly?
Happy?
Have you got a song that i could download and listen to?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
(too much caffeine. Better cut down on the Dr Pepper)

Your just trying to make me jealous, aren't you, Goatboy?

Yes I am.
Have been in current band for 2 years now and we're currently recording/mixing our album.
Played Dingwalls, Sound, The Barfly, Dublin Castle, The Garage, Water Rats, Spitz, Chinneries, Army & Navy and god knows how many other places.
Have supported Haven, Kid Galahad, The 45s and a bunch of others.
And we've been invited to support Mackie from the FLC's side-project - going to see him tomorrow night.

I am most happy and content with my boys and music.
Hiring a string quartet to do some stuff next week and should have the album ready by October, with A&R gigs lined up and behind us etc etc.
This is not arrogant boasting, this is quiet self-knowledge and a sizeable fanbase of 250+ at each gig now.

Uni tour in Sept to support album and an Xposure evening for Xfm that will be confirmed.

Parker - 2002 is ours.

Ugly bunch, aren't they.....joking!

Mind you, I can't talk. *punches self in face*

I'm afraid, Gingerlord, that your link to Blueburn appears to be buggered, but i'd be more than happy to give your music a good old fashioned listen when the oppurtunity presents itself!

Have you tried looking in your local newspaper? There's usually people seeling stuff like that, good quality and cheep prices 'n' all that.

Anyone know a good place to buy amps from. I need a Bass amp powerful enough to blow away a small audiance for June 6th.

Just found out that my amp doesn't make the grade :(

That's pretty good. Not really my sort of thing, but pretty good anyway. Now you have to return the favour by visiting the Blueburn site! (Don't pay attention to the name, it IS rock/indie music, honest!) Try Weirdo or Underground.

Sibs - tried to listen to your stuff, but I'm on a uni computer and they won't let us receive cookies, which you need to do at mp3.com - sorry, I did try at least!

Am I the only one here who thinks that their name sounds suspiciously like godfathers (and mothers!) of art-grunge Sonic Youth?

By the way, if any of you can be arsed, the band that i'm in has a song for download on; www.rockonuk.com/html/mp3z.htm and click on 'Valium'.
We're the Social Hermits.....(holds up two fingered rock salute triumphantly)

Yeah, I'm in a band. I love playing music, there's no feeling like it.
