KevB Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Having recently walked away from a project that the leader of was becoming difficult to work with I went with slight trepidation to an informal audition with someone else last night. Couldn't have been more different from the last guy - he talked sense, listened and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about my playing. At one point he mentioned that he'd already had someone over but pointed out that I was doing much more with the basslines and filling out the sound much better. Went away feeling quite 'up'. I need to do a follow up with the rest of the band to see if it gels together but the band leader seems to want me in just from the jam we had. Maybe I'll finally get some gigging done before the end of the year! Edited August 21, 2009 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Nice one! It's really hard to get a handle on all these subjective things and how you are as a player. I had an audition recently and was surprised at how much they liked what I did. Unexpected success is always nice! Hope it works out really well for you.

I said the same back to him (and meant it, he's a fantastic drummer and we gel beautifully), became a bit of a mutual appreciation society. I thought we were going to bloody kiss eachother at one point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
