Title: Own bands?
Post by: Mairi on January 30, 2005, 05:01:02 PM
I notice some people here have their own garage bands, and I thought we should have a thread so they could tell us about it. Maybe post some music?
I used to have a band with my cousins, but we broke up because of artistic differences (couldn't decide on a name) and plus, I was the only one who could actually sing and play and instrument.

Im in a sort of band, but we havn't got a name, more we jam together.
We are doing a Silly Album at first; about 7 or 8 songs of our own,  but with a stupid context..lyrics that are humour and not altogether serious.
This is to get us familiar with the newly purchased recording equipment, and a small project to work upon.
At the moment, Im writing, trying to sing...(although the silly songs dont need perfect in-tune voices :)) ..Bass Player..and Album Art designer (posted the cover in Different Conversations).
Im happy with the progress, and some of the songs have some great bass/guitar lines..so we might use em afterwards..for our 'serious' stuff. 8)

I used to be in a band, but now we are more studio-based - ie we've had no gigs for ages!

I'll post something about the band soon, but if you want to hear some tracks, there a 20 downloadable tracks here: http://www.geocities.com/the_end_gb/music.htm

The best ones are:
See Her Smile
Liverpool Street
Dream Girl

i had a band when i was 12 with a few friends of mine. as you can probably assume from our ages, we weren't that serious about it and just wanted to jam. we were introduced to the who at that time and wanted to break guitars and shoot gunpowder out of our drums, but our parents wouldn't allow it.

maybe i'll get the band back together.

Yep, the songs are mostly all writ by me and someone else (depending who's around!).

For those of you who CAN hear the tracks - thanks for the kind words :)
For those of you who CAN'T hear the tracks... erm, I dunno why they don't work! The tracks should play in whatever default media player you have. Anyway, here are the direct links - hope these work for you.

Nope! I actually wrote those lyrics whilst in work looking out of my window on a particularly windy day! I finished them whilst looking out of my window at home during and after a storm (there's a river at the back of my garden!). What are the lyics to Pain - I'm not familiar with that track? :)

You could try this: Click and select 'save target as' then save the files to your computer, you should then be able to play them as a normal MP3 file.... hopefully ;D

Holy Crap!  The End, that's awesome.  I love the lyrics on Two Lives, "Take the wrong turn and they'd never have found the sun from out of the rain."  That's awesome.  Kudos
