alexclaber Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 A new song, from Monday evening, see attachment! Prizes for those who spot the key influences... Alex P.S. That's the RIM Custom 5 being abused through a Peavey Mk IV which in turn is upsetting an old TE 4x10". Quote
Mr Fudge Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) Portishead, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and The Ink Spots? and Dr Who and Gerry Rafferty. I like the start very much. Edited March 26, 2009 by Mr Fudge Quote

I like the start very much.[/quote] Iggy Pop is definitely one that I hadn't realised until you said it - I love the whole vibe of The Stooges and his baritone growl as exemplified on The Passenger. Not familiar with The Ink Spots or Gerry Rafferty's music. The start (and its reprise later on) is where I'm particularly channelling one of my favourite bassists and his band.

[/quote] Not you as well! I've had enough of my bandmates whining when I don't bring my new cab, all this "it's so much harder to hear you," blah blah blah when I use the house rig. Honestly, talk about spoilt! Alex Quote
EBS_freak Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 There is something about your band which reminds me of a band up near me... www.whenbearsattack.co.uk Incredible Hulk song remains one of my faves. Quote

Alex[/quote] Alas, no more... but they were a really good laugh. Good old fashioned tongue in cheek humour. The front man was pretty exceptional... writing the Dracula musical got them loads of exposure too! Quote

And basswise the rest of it skips between Larry Graham-isms and Family Man-isms. I suppose that sums up a lot of my playing - throw Jaco and Jamerson in there too and that's much of me covered.

That mantle has now been taken by Status Quo who will protect it with their live(lihoods)... Alex Quote
