I do like most genres but would like to do original stuff that is influenced by the last 3 decades.I have played all the typical club and pub stuff. Everyone does the same old crap. I'm looking for musicians that just want to escape into oblivion. Use your knowledge and influences and make something else. MEMBERS OF BAND At present its just me - guitarist, songwriter, singer,bit of keyboards and drums. Looking for anyone who wants to shake off the cobwebs. Ideally i'm looking for musicians who can play and do vocals as well. Don't call me if all you've played in C&W. Don't call me if all you want to do is play your instrument and look at your foot pedals it's boring!! No women in the band. Sounds like an 'donkey' to me. I can't stand 'lads'/'blokes' band, it's like you've inadvertently turned up at a Roy Chubby Brown gig. ...so I'd not bother with that one 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that include The Beatles, The Stones, The Jackson 5, The Temptations, The Monkees etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there it is, as bold as brass! Needless to say, I'll be having words and reconsidering my position🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumOne Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'm not sure anyone is as annoyed as keeps being suggested. That's a bit like the culture war narrative of 'all these woke milenials are forcing us to cancel christmas and call it winterval and eat vegan sausage rolls and not call anyone Mrs'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aparently the Winterval/cancel christmas thing was in the Daily Mail 44 times, and the The Times and The Sunday Times mentioned it 40 times before the papers needing to admit that it's a false story where no-one ever had any intention of cancelling christmas. People enjoyed getting reading stories and getting annoyed by ficticious liberals getting annoyed though, us vs them. I haven't really seen people on this thread genuinely be upset and angry about that ad saying 'no women', they're just discussing how it makes the bloke (assuming it's a bloke?!) sound a bit of a kn0b. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got that from you. It's all this new internet use of or hijacking words that mean other than what they are currently being used for. The Mail, Express & Sun are awful for their use of the false narrative. All you need to do is look at the way the Scottish Government is portrayed by these rags in the south when in actual fact the truth is substantially different from the printed nonsense. E.G. Scot Gov to stop Brexit! Edited February 24, 2022 by andy67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thing that noone has brought up. What if the advert is from a woman, it doesn't say. Seems unlikely though. Also it could actually be a factual statement. I could say that about my band - there are no women in the band. Nothing against there being any, there just currently aren't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No women in the band" The only way the comment, if made by a woman, could really make sense is if it was made by someone from outside of the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
