Does marching band count?

If not, it should cause it's way cool. This one time, at band camp.....

Beaumanoir · 10-08-2002, 04:43 PM

Are you surprised ? What did you expect with a name like the "drunken joggers" ? [/QUOTE]Yeah, I guess. None of us really thought it would be a hit. There was Mike, who poured vodka over his cereal, George who thought that bass was the bottom of a beer, and Andy, whose blood had more alcohal than protein. Oh, and me.

i've been in half a dozen bands in as many years, and i think we only ever played maybe one concert. college doesn't mesh well with rest of the band members, and so i'm currently solo *sob* but that's alright. It allows me to develop my artistic flow...(read:b.s.)

Band member here.

Have been in a previous band after High School, and now enjoy the company of my new group, here in Winston-Salem. I'm the drummer. One day, I'll post my set on Stealthy's Site. Anyway, my claim to fame is that I once played at Ziggy's as a substitute. Ziggy's is a big night-club.

Oh, yeah drummer in the

I found this about my old band from 1997/98 http://www.angelfire.com/music3/virt...dsvertigo.html

Sir Krustin · 10-08-2002, 10:15 PM

Shit...are you guys ever young! Are you any good?

Nice website, btw.

A couple of the guys here keep trying to get me to play with them...frankly, I don't have time. I barely have time to play BG2.

A couple of my mates and me made a band once... unfortunately it lasted all of about a few days when we realised it was to much effort [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, I played bass in a rock band when I was about 19. We used to do a 2-weekly or monthly midweek or Friday night set (and actually get paid!) at the local live music pub and had a bit of a local following. It all came to an unhappy end after an argument with my bro (who was vocalist/guitarist/manager) who then didn't speak to me for the best part of a decade. I got really depressed about it cos we'd always been close, gave up playing bass, and got back into ska & soul which I'd been into when I was younger. We're mates again now, but we have little common ground when it comes to musical tastes any more!

He went on to be a studio & TV sound engineer and professional film extra(!) for a while, and still plays regularly as well as singing in a pagan choir. He has also helped run music workshops for disadvantaged kids so he puts his talents to good use. I pick up my bass occassionally but don't really have time to be in a band these days.

Beaumanoir - nice site! Photos take an age to load tho, could just be the server at my end. When you get a gig down South, let me know & I'll be there.
