Plux_the_Duck Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just started a 80s glam band, for a laugh and all that, not that we really love the music, just cos it will be fun and all that... We were just going to our first rehearsal this sunday, all booked and ready and today the bass player (I happen to be singing) decides to walk on us saying she wasn't ever in the band despite the fact she gave us the idea to form the band and was coming up costume ideas. Really really annoying for me, the guitarist and the drummer who have learnt our parts. Especially as all the othe rbassists I know are already in bands or not interested in the idea! Sorry had to vent this on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipperydick Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Pity your so far away and I'm too old to get away with dressing up. Sounds great. Dont give in, something will turn up, every cloud and all that. Better to get rid of him now than 6 months down the line. Could be a lucky escape.

Lozz196 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That sucks, especially when all others have spent time learning material. An old band I was in used to do that. Great fun, and if its stuff along the lines of Crue/Sweet etc, playing bass & singing shouldn`t be too much of a problem. Won`t be as much fun for those glam-poses on stage though.

I would sing and play bass, but I can't play bass and sing - I just can't do it, I can play guitar and sing but not bass... hopefully we'll find a new bassist soon...
