Hmmmm. I wouldn't worry dude. I think its more critical to capture the moment than absolute perfection. In any case you have a lifetime, to develop, re-arrange, or even re-write songs as you progress on each instrument. If you record these songs now…
DJ makes a good point about the time in between the acts. I think that there was something missing there. Maybe even playing music over the PA next time while the other band are setting up will suffice, but I think the audience needed something to k…
That's the beauty of being a bass player, nobody wants to hear your opinion anyway.
Just stand at the back in the dark ay??
;-)
Until I was reminded of it in a roundabout way on FB just now I'd forgotten about a band I was in shortly after leaving school called Various Artists (cringe) where absolutely nobody clicked with each other at all and we spebnt most of our time argu…
Haha! I'm getting all excited Stewbert. Do it! I would love to do it with you if I had a spare ten days..
I'm sure my 1.5 pence a mile will spur you on!!
Yeah nice one Lew. The whole week was just a blur for me. Wouldnt be much of a blog. lol
HEY I've played with that guy too!!!!! What a prat!
Sad, Sad news. I liked Uppem.

I have had some similar experiences in the studio as an engineer, where it is equally important to create a good rapport and and productive atmosphere. One memorable ocassion was when a duo booked a week in the studio to record an album of covers, s…
Buck and I were discussing this the other day. He came across a live recording of his band the Altona Kahunas, playing their CD release party no less, and you could hear the bass player yelling at the drummer in between songs. Appalling behaviour an…
Yes, this has happened to me.
I've worked with fine players with whom there was no common ground in terms of how we saw, heard or executed music. Bear in mind that they could, and likely would, say the same about me (except for the fine player part)…
Brilliant Michael!! ha ha ha.. Ah but I do believe there is a tradition or an old charter that states, "when ever a song goes disastrously wrong all members of the band should immediately turn their backs on the audience and stare at the drummer"
I…
That's true. Band mates like that are better left in the dust. On-stage criticism is inappropriate, even if nary a word is spoken.
Musically - live - I don't think this has happened to me. That's as - you are excluding personal issues.
Happens some times when listening or playing to records. For example I just grew weary the other day, playing drums along with a Santana record…
Absolutely.
I spent a year and a half in a local "studio" with a guy who I shared my copyrights with. The deal was that I'd make music, he'd make production, and we'd make money off of the tourists after completing my Alaska project.
Because he is…
