    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!

    On the pigs back lad:pac: Did ye ever post an ad lookin for a singer?! Have ya got like a garage or spare room te jam in now?

    The drummer has a spot. I haven't been there yet but its on my to do list.
    I did post somewhere, either here or on Carlow IT but the return wasn't great. Maybe the open mic nights could turn up some talent.

    That'd be the ideal place to find a Rock singer! A quiet guy showed up at the one we had in the vynal bar years ago and took the stage (shy and all) and whipped out a harmonica and sang the likes of acdc to a tee:eek:. I still remember the version of "Crazy" by Aerosmith it was without doubt one of the best things Ive heard:cool:

    well, me and my 2 mates are just jamming atm. As I said earlier in the thread I hadn't played with them for quite awhile so I'm just getting back into it now. If we found that missing link (a singer we all liked) then we'd look to gig.

    I kind of sing, or at least that's what i've been told. A dark kind of jazzy sound they tell me. And i can belt my lungs out, and after having watched 300 (u know the crappy sparta movie) I realised that I can growl or whatever u metal folk call it. Mainly listens to old school soul and jazz, and I wrote a university essay on the rolling stones once. Retired Radiohead fan and survivor of an indie pop stint, complete with white tights and nerdy dancing.

    Well I play a mix between blues/Jazz ans Blues rock...something along the lines of like blue jeans blues zztop or five long years by clapton so I think your voice would complement the pieces of music I wrote if your interested in putting lyrics to em rather than a cover band. I was a big fan of The Bends in the day man all went downhill after O.K tho. I just remembered Bush there :pac: mad.

    i was going to start a thread for this and then i thought, feck it - this is a thread about bands in Carlow so I'll sneak it in here.

    If anyone happens across a Carlow vocalist for an original project, let me know. ability to play bass or guitar an advantage but not completely necessary. there is material which can be heard by those interested in doing the singing thing.
