Bassassin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I play in an original female-fronted progressive hard rock band. We have been previously described as "Prog-Goth Lesbians", which while factually wildly erroneous, is actually pretty damn cool, I think. We're presently beavering away (in the manner of very slow & distracted beavers) on an "album of musically & lyrically themed songs" called [i]The Fifth Sun[/i], which will be released sometime or other, and have as a result been declared " The [i]Top Gear[/i] of prog rock - ambitious but rubbish".

mike257 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've always played in noisy rock bands, like this one here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/theidiotrate"]The Idiot Rate[/url] or this one here: [url="http://myspace.com/connectingflight"]Connecting Flight[/url], but my new band, [url="http://myspace.com/thebuffaloriot"]The Buffalo Riot[/url], is probably going to get slandered with dirty words like 'alt-country', so I'll leave it to someone else to pick a pointless genre name for it Me and three lads from the band have also sold out and started doing covers gigs in a hotel in Liverpool - it's easy beer/rent money, and a night out with the boys, so why not!

spike Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Soul band, mainly 60s Stax & Motown. We play weddings, functions and the occasional pub gig. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyDamacy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 1) Functions band (Called Cover Up, oh yeah) 2) Jazz band (Iris and the wolves) 3) Tech/Prog Metal band (Once a wolf) Ironically the two band names were chance, not some wolf conspiracy.......

xgsjx Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Two originals bands. 4 piece rock band called Frigorifico. I use the term rock very loosely there as we play reggae, punk & D n' B as well as any thing else. 3 piece (and guest musicians) alt dot band called BigRoom. No idea what you could class the music as, some folk, country, jazz, blues & fusion all put into a pot & stirred up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Talbo's a great bass to sit at home & play & muck about with, but unfortunately it's terribly microphonic - which means at gig volume it squeals like a piggy. I tend to use a few effects too, which only makes things worse. Great shame, it's a stunning looking thing. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
