Would you join a band that you probably wouldn't bother to go and see?

That should be the motto under the BC coat of arms, but maybe in Latin.

 

Basschat verberat opus

 

Or

 

Basschat melius opus

Although I like:

 

Basschat "melius est quam operari"

 

I'm sure a Latin scholar on BC will correct my conjugations! 😆

Let's hope so, you'll never win the Derby with them in that state son.

I have just recently joined a band (two rehearsals in).

They are nice people, seem pretty good at what they do, and seem to like what I do. They/we are still someway (months) from being ready to play out as the singer is also new.

 

The problem? They are an originals Metal band, and I am not really into metal. I am much more into blues, classic rock, and old style R and B, so if we were playing up the local pub I probably wouldn't bother to go and see us.

 

However it is a band to play in, which I've not had since pre lockdown.

What do I do? What would you do?

 

I worry that If an opportunity to join a bluesy band came up then I would be very tempted to jump ship,thus letting this band down. Especially if the bluesy band had a vacancy for piano/saxophone, which Mrs Bassy plays. BUt then there arn't that many opportunities around. Is it a bird in the hand thing?

 

What would you do?

I would stay around until better project came up. Then correctly explain the situation and say good buy. I would not call it a "let down" from Your side. Just...time goes on and things changes.

I would put a hoop in my pants, stick a red ball on my nose, and ware size 30 shoes, if it helped put sausages on the table.

i dont care, i will play anything if im paid to do it,

its that that funds the stuff i really like to play, but does not have the same income 🙂

some times you have to sell your self.

and im proud to do it  🙂

Nilo the thing to do is borrow lots of money from them individually, then do a runner.. ( & get another "burner" phone obviously) 👍

Not for me, but snorkie could help You with a balanced opinion.

I’ve been in approx 100 bands. I wouldn’t want to see any of them. Honest.
