antilag.com band .... Enquire within

[Fryman]

Since it seems that people can do something that not involving ripping each other a new asshole... how does the idea sound that we should get a group together for a band? A group effort we are gonna need to fill many aspects

==> Place to jam
==> groupies that are more attractive then say..... tj with tassles. (lets set the bar people!)
==> instruments
==> Current skill level / aspiring skill level.
==> Place to jam!


This should prove to be quite worthwhile, good social thing, can do some fundraising gigs for hosting tjs gearbox etc etc...

Throw all your ideas up here!

[WRCjosh]

biggest hurdle will be amplification... i've only got a baby amp that would be drowned out by the sound of my cat farting, to get some decent sound, cash is required... or a rich mate with a bombed amp :P

[Sully]

also might pay to chuck down some ideas for what sorta stuff you're into playing.

i've been playing guitar for about 15 years now so i'm kinda keen but i sold off my electric guitar aaaaages ago. only got an accoustic and looking at getting a 12 string soon so yeah. might not be quite so helpful depending on what you guys have in mind to play.

[Fryman]

wouldnt consider it too serious, ie just some popular covers that sort of thing. Considering alot of antilags demographic like pop (c)rap or dance/trance/house/electronica im not sure how successful this will be.

All ideas welcome

[Joe]

I can play guitar and keyboards, but I'm sure there are plenty of others on this forum better than I am, so consider me a "back up".

[Sully]

i'm working on some john butler type blusey folky stuff at the moment. but yeah i'm keen to give just about anything a go. anything is good to play with a band. any chance of a vocalist anywhere?

[ben351]

i can play "with myself"

[Joe]

Ok you got me inspired Lukian, I'm going past the music shop today and I'm going to buy some new strings.

I'll hit up powertabs and I reckon with a few weeks practice I'll be proficient again!

[INSINR8R]

just play freak by silverchair. its probably the easiest song to remember. that or smoke on the water haha

[Thodd]

I miss my drums :( Lukian, you will take the place as resident drummer!

although I heard Jamie has some mad skills

[MMM]

i can play tamborine maracca and a few vocals here and there

[JME]

I sold my gigging kit last year due to not playing for a year. Played since i was 15, studied for 3 years including time @ the conservatorium of music (Academy of Performing Arts - majoring in jazz). Played in original bands all my time mainly rock/funk/metal aspect. If this is a goer i can source a cheap kit, IF someone has a place to jam and i can store it there.

[Twe12ve]

MMM can use Serato imo

[mr_mike]

i can play "Enter sandman" intro hahahaha

Used to be able to play heaps of Smashing pumpkins and Rage Against Machine, The Offspring is pretty easy stuff aswell.

Could also play a few Prodigy songs that had electric guitar parts.

[miss_petepie]

i can play the recorder....

[cplagz]

ben351 will play the pink trumpet for you

[Roobiks]

I play bass :)


Play RATM and RHCP mainly

keen to join begginnerish/intermediate spec band

have plenty of friends with concert spec amps.. letting me borrow $3000+ stacks is another story though...

[Niva]

u could think of me as a groupie overflow bottle

[LNYMRKO]

Motion seconded.

I may buy myself a nice Randall stack soon though!

[mexr]

I can cut/scratch over most beats. Also dabble in beat production and vinyl chopping/sampling. Always up for a jam sess.

[mys1]

I played Sax for 6 years, And did vocals for 4 at highschool. Tee music and that shizzle

Tyson ? Choir ?

Never!

[mys1]

choir.. not so much, Brber shop, Solo, and a few jazz gigs :D

[ben351]

ben351 will play the pink trumpet for you

Marc offered to play the Rusty Trombone once :D

[RICEY]

I been slammin out tunes on the acoustic since uhhh tuesday, yeah, 2 days ago hahaha.

Id be there more to learn than participate but keen nonetheless.

[Sully]

so, we've got a fair bit of interest from a few people. set a time, date and place and see who rocks up. if you sign them, they will come

[adrenalin]

i can play triangle.

[Fryman]

Ok as time progresses it loooks like we got some bites!

Here are the positions... Amateur DIY musicians right up to the pro's are all welcome

Guitar Rhythm
Guitar Lead
Hell chuck an acoustic in there
Drums / Rhythm
Keyboard/Piano/Synth
Bass
Recorder for Michael Young / yngwie / insert guitar legend here Solo
Boneplayer
groupies
TJ aka he runs this band (much love tj)

Given that we have quite a few people for certain positions, it looks like might have 3 geetarists.

Oh yes and to set the record on what style you want to play and the great musician debate. Covers vs Originals.... this ones a doozy as the most dedicated of people are only willing to do one and not the other.

Instrument donations??!?! I have a 80watt prodrive amp with a Jackson soloist (japanese not korean!) for somebody who can make it sing and give it a lil love. Also a VERY basic Pearl Forum Kit which gets us some beats.

i used to have one of those!!! was metallic blue with lots of chips in it.

[Joe]

My solo'ing is very out of touch...have not done it for 6 years! Therefore, lead is out of the question.

I'll take guitar rhythm...THAT I can do right here, right now.

[Sully]

if i can grab the jackson i'll go lead but same, i'm a little rusty improv solo wise but it's nothing that i can't figure out with a little more practice. if somone else jumps that spot i'll grab the acoonstic spot

[Sully]

i vote lukian for mj role who's going to provide the jesus juice?

[Fryman]

jackson 5 haha!! oi keep this fairly serious, if it turns into the same same thread .. there will be sad faces.

[LNYMRKO]

HAhahaha love the pics.

I'm keen for any guitar spots.. though I kinda suck now.. gimme some time to relearn haha. I just bought new electric (see guitar thread) and I got an acounstic too.. I'd be keen for vocals also. :D

TJ can be groupie #1.

[RICEY]

Can I suggest a weight limit for groupies

[Passage GT]

Can I suggest a weight limit for groupies

lol
post pics of candidates and vote on it

[Roobiks]

I can fill bass position.



And I can even grow a mullet if needed.

[Sully]

on the subject of the groupies, if they're wider than the body of a guitar then its a no go. double necks and gibson explorers are not to be used for evaluative purposes.
