hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not strictly speaking live, but it will contain new video of us performing live, maybe some photo's and some other random stuff 😂. All very much a work in progress, but it's going to happen. Coming soon, stay tuned! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been fascinated by some of the composite videos that have been made by various musicians during the unpleasantness of lockdown. Your own band's NHS tribute cover of Heroes, for example, and The Immediate Family's Cruel Twist. They represent an interesting development in Music Video as an art form. You've got to keep your name out there and deliver something memorable these days more than ever before. Necessity is the mother of invention innit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to try and do something a little different. Might not work, but going to give it a go. It might be the opportunity to try something songs that don’t normally get looked at by other tribute bands. We have more time to create the patches and sounds we’ll need to pull them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm a bit late to the party here, but dear cliff, what a friggin fabulous line up Warren ! Some utterly fab recordings and great musicianship by all. Stand outs for me, because they just happen to be some of my fave DB tracks, were Fame, Moonage, and Breaking Glass. Nice basses too. One of them looked like a series 3 Wal but i dunno. Keep at it WB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real shame of it is, like 99% of the rest of Basschat, that after all the hard work we’ve put in over the years, everything has ground to a halt rather abruptly. As a 7 piece, we can’t even rehearse at the moment. We’re investigating Jamkazam, but unless you have a drummer with en electronic kit or a drum room at home (which we don’t), it’s difficult. Hopefully 2021 will turn a corner. As for the basses, yes, I’m very lucky to have some nice ones in the collection. Yes, you are correct, that is a Wal Mk3 which is perfect for this band. I generally use that, a Stingray and a Lull, although I am now also the proud owner of a USA Lakland which will fit in nicely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think this situation we find ourselves in is harder for the top bands and the clamping down on entertainment is a great loss. Not so much for pub bands where my level is, though of course its still a pain and very sad. Funny you cant find a leccy kit player, because before i started playing bass, i was just that ..a drummer with a Roland kit in a very good gigging Northampton band I wonder just how many venues will be left standing after this rediculous sh!tstorm finally moves on. PS that WAL is nice, but it seems you get a monster tone whatever you play. Talking of which, listen to Gail Dorsey on this track. I've been chasing tone for years and if i could replicate her sound on this track, i would end the search. Maybe i need a Stingray, but i guess there's more to it than just the bass. Anyways, i wish you well and dont lose heart. You're too good to fade away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) We played Fat Lil's in Witney, Oxfordshire last Friday. They've only just recently opened again due to the slow post-COVID demand. It wasn't packed, but we had a decent sized very enthusiastic crowd who seemed to be very into Bowie. The lady in black you can see dancing has a prosthetic leg and man could she throw some shapes. She knew 99% of all the lyrics too.
