richrips Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 BassFlash? I'm feeling the cold dark grip of ignorance again.... Is this: A: A special media player that filters out images/sound of other lesser instruments from digital video (e.g. G££££r)? B: Playing bass in public, naked? C: When several people apparently randomly congregating in public suddenly open their trenchcoats to reveal bass guitars and portable amps before launching in to a synchronised dance in the style of Graham Central Station's POW? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I[/url] Hmmmm i think the new St Davids centre could do with a funk attack.... Rich Incidentally, that True Steppaz shiz is hot!!! Any chance of a support slot for a half decent Reggae/Hip-Hop/Soul crossover band?? Quote
richrips Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 In fact this is a bit weird.... Tru Steppaz are from plymouth, so am i The first song on Myspace is Picture on the Wall, which is the name of the first song our band ever recorded back at school at Plymouth Musicians Cooperative! weird...must be something in the water! Nice one! Rich Quote

We have loads of good venues around this area. Each good in their own ways. The Gate, Milgi, Claude, 147 Club, Plasnewdd club, Gower, Earl Haigh, Varsity, bar YK ... I guess you've been Way Out West too long Quote
