Only read if you're interested ;-) - My Band

If you're not interested at all in me shamelessly advertising my band, please STOP READING.



Well, I tried to get around the danger of pissing you people off and this being seen as spamming... I hope it worked.
Somehow i practically had force myself to post this here, because I know you guys all play in bands and know what you're talking about and I'm not exactly known for my confidence when it comes to my music.
But I thought to myself I might as well grow a pair and just do it. So here it is. My band.

We're releasing our new album next week and already uploaded a few songs. Feel free to tell me what you think about it. Thanks so much for listening and if you have any questions, ask away!

It's a message board we "pay" to be a part of. I don't really think spamming is possible, especially in a section called musicians and gearheads. Maybe if you were posting this in Porch.

Anyways, I like it. I can't really pin-point the sound you guys have, but it's good. It does sound a bit familiar, but still original. Would you consider your sound Muse-like?

Good luck!

ScrapeMySky

Yeah, well, maybe you're right. I don't know. Still wanted to do my best not to piss anyone off.

Sounds good bud. Really does, you should be proud. It's not always easy to write and record music.

ScrapeMySky

Guitarwise, the new album was recorded using a tele and a strat as the main guitars (and a Les Paul on one song) and a Hot Rod DeVille and a Tiny Terror (into a vox 2x12) as amps.
Bass was recorded with a HumanBase, which is a german brand and in it's configuration very similar to a Stingray, going into a MarkBass amp that was plugged into an Ampeg cab.
The keys were a Clavia Nord stage, a piano and a cheap and very strange 70s organ.
I'm nut too sure about the drums, cause we used the studio set. But it was a very basic setup. Bass, 1 tom, Hihat and one Crash-Ride. What I do know is that the snares were two Supraphonics.
And then an assortment of mikes. Mainly Sures, Neumanns and Sennheisers.
The basic tracks were all done live in a guitar, drums, bass and keybard setup.

I think that's about it.

The older recordings are a very different story...

Thanks again for listening, everyone!

NEVER would have guessed a tele! That's awesome!

ScrapeMySky

Yeah, well, it's a thinline. So the sound might be a little different. But all the basic tracks were done with the tele as far as I remember.
