charic Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well I've finally managed to find a band that looks like it's going somewhere! Especially from how our manager is talking! However, bit of a change of instrument as this time around I'm playing keys! We're playing symphonic metal (female fronted) and the band is called Curvature. Got a fair number of gigs lined up and talk of a bit of travel in our near future. Have a listen if you fancy (old lineup) : https://open.spotify.com/track/50xP7OkCpuZsGdOtONBKWj Facebook is here if you like it! https://www.facebook.com/CurvatureOfficial?fref=ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Not really my kind of thing but I've forwarded your link to a friend, it's right up her street. You need to get one of those keyboards you can wear on a strap & have a guitar type neck for holding onto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that NRRF had been going so long. Great picture 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] O/T IIRC the R&R Festival started in 1982 - funded by money that was available to fix some of the inner-city problems that had led to the Hyson Green Riots the previous year. It was a free festival for all of the 80s and IMO lost its way in the 90s when the fence went up and the organisers tried to charge money to get in. i can remember in the mid-90s sitting on the slope outside the fence enjoying the music for free while the tiny number of people who'd paid to get in milled about looking very unhappy.

They pop up on my fb feed every now and again. Defo not my cup of tea music wise but they do seem to put plenty of effort in. Hope it goes well for you.

colgraff Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think that if you grow a permed mullet and an excessive moustache and move to Germany, then you are allowed to play a keytar provided you wear stonewashed denim and hi-top trainers.
