Who's in a band?

elusive_one · September 2003

So, who's in a band here? What are you called? What instrument do you play? And, what the hell, might as well add some self promotion in there too!

Me, Elusive Ones (I wonder where I got that from... hehe), bass, we're playing at the HiFi Bar in Melbourne for the Pearl Jam tribute night on Oct 30th... tix are $15 and can be bought at Gaslight or at HiFi Bar. We are actually a band of originals, but we were offered this and couldn't refuse such an awesome offer!!
If you wanna hear us, see my sig... hope you enjoy

i play guitar.. were almost a band.. we live in columbia sc, our singer wes lives in seattle wa, weve been sending him songs over the web and hes been writing lyrics.. he is moving here next month, and we will be playing some shows soon after. we play mostly rock / punk.. inspired by pj, at the drive-in, trail of dead, q and not u, fugazi, slowreader, cursive, the shins and some local bands.. etc..
we are debating over our band name. its between these:

if it shines
pools of brightness
dearly departed
blythe kills all

Me too, but it's hard to find people who are on the same wavelength. Don't wanna go through ads and stuff. MOst off the folks placing ads for bands are to ambitious (as in: we are 15 years old and can't play a note but wan't a stadium tour within 3 weeks!). I'd like to meet someone on the streets, in a bar, get talking and playing! Mainly for the fun of it. I hate ads...

Gossard, you're in London, I'm in Belgium, not that far away

I play rythm guitar

elusive_one · September 2003

I was lucky how I met the guitarist of my band... we met here at Synergy, and met in person when we went to see the band Brad and we met up when PJ were here in Melb and not long after we decided to start a band. But sometimes those ads are cool... our drummer answered an ad we put on a website and he's an awesome guy and a very cool drummer. I feel very lucky. But do try some of those ads... you may be pleasantly surprised

69charger · September 2003

I play bass in a band. We play enough now that I don't have to have a real job. We're called Waitin' on Bob.

z_whalen · January 2004

I play rythm guitar in a five-piece band called Randall. We played our first show at the local legion earlier this month and it was awesome. Our setlist included songs by Pearl Jam, STP, Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Moist. We're currently getting ready for our next show and trying to write some original tunes.

corduroy yesterdays · January 2004

I play drums in two.
The Motherheads is more influenced by the Dead, Phish and Allman Brothers, and of course Pearl Jam with me in the band.

Interphase is a funky, fusion sort of band influenced by drum and bass, jungle, MMW, Tortoise, etc. Website still under construction but almost done and very cool

Bullshit. I listened to Waking Dream again today, and I don't wanna hear you about lack of skill.

but i definitely don't have time it seems. i could do solo shows though. does that count as a band?

Drummachine · January 2004

i play drums in a band called ABADON.i am from Europe, SLovakia and we play some Metallica songs besides our own songs.I d like to play some PJ tunes but my band mates dont.
do you think that it is hard to play PJ ? because i think that it is very hard to play it with the feel they have...

silas · January 2004

I guess you could say I am....One of my friends who is a decent guitarist and I have a group, and we have had a really hard time finding more people, because I'm in a very small town and all of the talent in my HS is sapped (if there are any singers or bass players in Erwin/Unicoi/Flag Pond TN, show yourself! lol). We play a little bit of everything. No name until we find more people.
