Topic: summer band challenge?

Anyone up for this?

Form a band, do a record, play a weekend of gigs, break up.

We have one set up in Notts, and I know some guys in the West Mids are going to be our rivals...

Anyone done this before.. didn't Ralph and Ralf do something called Manitee? or something!? years ago? I dunno I could be way off the mark..

Re: summer band challenge?

Our band is sorted, we're called Sneinton, it's Phil from LBD on bass, Jack from LBD on guitar, Rory from Without Maps on Drums, me on vocals.

It will sound like an emo band.

Re: summer band challenge?

I'm going to do a gig in Nottingham with a few of these bands, looks like it will be second to last weekend of August. No one will come, but we'll have a siqqq time.

You have to have a release on you too, demo cdr, tape, or something..

Re: summer band challenge?

not sure what we're gonna sound like, but i think there will be a heavy grinderman influence, and i am learning bass for it.

Me (wpw/bird calls), Max (bird calls) and Sean (Wellwisher) are sorting a kirsch style thing for this.
