Linus27 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Just interested in what style of band people play in, originals, covers, tribute or no band. Edited March 12, 2009 by Linus27 Quote
Twigman Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I play in this band: [url="http://www.last.fm/music/Sad+Lovers+and+Giants"]http://www.last.fm/music/Sad+Lovers+and+Giants[/url] as in my sig. We're a genuine 80s originals band with many album releases.

Eight Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 No band. *sob* *sob* But then I am crap so hey... Quote
Clarky Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Originals punk band, playing old-school punk and psychobilly style stuff (a mixture of Damned, Slaughter & The Dogs, Motorhead [not punk, I know, but in spirit], Cramps etc) Quote
harvey1-8 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 See my sig for my originals band. Plus 2 functions bands. Quote
The Funk Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Originals (and covers on long gigs). Funk, soul and rock n' roll. Quote
alexclaber Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Originals. BritSkunk (tm). That's British Ska Funk for the uninitiated. Lots and lots of BASS! Alex Quote
Rich Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 [list=1] [*][url="http://www.soul-destroyers.co.uk/"]Soul Destroyers[/url] - covers. Huge party band with big horns and stuff. A mixture of soul, pop and stupidity. A bit like the Commitments, only much [i]much[/i] sillier. [*][url="http://tambatoga.com/default.aspx"]Tamba[/url] - covers. Soul/funk/rockydiva stuff. Bbbbbbbig voice. [*][url="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=333264292"]Full Circle[/url] - originals. Unashamedly self-indulgent proggy fusion oddness in bizarre time signatures. [/list] Quote
farmer61 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Covers band, playing Pubs and Private Functions (weddings when we have to!!!) - Uncle Jack. Trying to make step up from pubs to more corporate/private work. Keen to get on to the Armed Services Circuit, first attempt in July. May be looking for a second band if I lose me job which could be a distinct possiblity. Quote
Bilbo Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Freelance - loads of jazz, bit of funk, increasing amount of Latin, 3 function bands, anything else that comes up. Quote
leonshelley01 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Mix of both. First band I'm in is mostly rock/metal covers with a few originals in the set. Second band is mostly our own rock songs with a couple of covers as filler. Quote
crez5150 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I'm proud to play with (and be a founding member) of 5catfish - Award winning corporate and wedding entertainment. Also play with my Disco (yes you heard me Disco) Funk and rare groove covers band - Hotsauce Quote

The officers were arrogant twats (how dare you tell my wife you can't play her request) and the em's were drunken oykes (just plain belligerent and aggressive)! On the other hand, on several "tours" of American basses in Germany, the Yanks were polite, friendly and enthusiastic music fans. Edited March 12, 2009 by chris_b Quote
Twigman Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 [quote name='jimijimmi' post='432437' date='Mar 12 2009, 02:14 PM']i play in the Quireboys www.myspace.com/thequireboys[/quote] MySpace is blocked here in my day job office... Would that be the same Quireboys that had a #2 UK album entitled “A Bit of What You Fancy” in the 80s? Quote
