im up fore it! im thinking of taking up either drums or bass in 4th year! where are you based? carlow town?

ShayK1 · 11-05-2009 10:38pm

Dboy, can you sing? I've the makings of a band (drummer, bass and lead) but we're missing a singer.

I guess our influences would be Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2 and Incubus to name but a few.

Still just me and a part time drummer....no age range really im 24 but 10 years either side wouldnt be bad. Why you interested? What you play/sing?

Don1 · 18-05-2009 3:55pm

Has to be a decent singer out there somewhere........ I'm sick of this normal lark!

What kind of singer you lookin for? What influences like?

Don1 · 20-05-2009 5:24pm

This week I have been mostly listening to:
Incubus, Tool, RHCP, RATM, Velvet Revolver, Led Zepplin, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Audioslave, Jimi Hendrix, QOTSA, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, PUSA, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Tom Petty, Guns n' Roses, Faith No More, Pearl Jam...............

In short, influences are vast and varied tbh. I play pretty much anything. Depends on the mood I guess!

As for what type of singer, well, a tonely adept one would be an advantage! I reckon anyone who is confident enough to sing anything and put their own stamp on it.

Don1 · 21-05-2009 2:23pm

Went jamming (me and drummer) in our (free) rehersal space last night for the first time in ages and have to say twas deadly! Just need the other members and it'd be perfect!

You'd have to get the go ahead from the drummer. He's tough to impress

Nah man, I love playing bass. I suppose my party piece would be Hysteria by Muse. The drummer is not a boardie.

I also love playing Incubus' Battlestar Scralatchtica but I keep forgetting how to play it and I have to relearn it and its a nightmare to learn.

Dboy85 · 23-05-2009 10:25pm

So how long ye playin together? I havent jammed with a full set in about 4 or 5 years so my timin is gone te sh1t3 lol I've more time on my hands now so I'm gettin in 5 or 6 hours of constant bar counting :rolleyes:lol

Love the vids the Incubus bass line is very jazzy its class.
I'm more of a rock blues pentatonic player. I'd love te write with a couple of people and bang out a few licks.

ShayK1 · 23-05-2009 10:31pm

I haven't played with the lads for a long time now but we used to mess around in our flat regularly a few years ago. I got frustrated with the fact that we'd no singer and I was also pretty busy too. I've more free time now though, I finish work at 5 and I'm home by 5:15, which is nice!
