Hi all, I play lead guitar and piano. Id like to set up a band. Distance is not a problem. We could have an international band that meets up in different countries every 4 years or something and play excellent music.

why not an e-band? record your part and upload it to a website for the other band members to do their stuff with. if you've got a forum then bingo!

i'd like to but i only really play the drums these days, and i'm not that good (only been playing about 6 months)
edit: also, what kind of music are you gonna do?

I call bass guitar. Even though I suck at it and have no way of recording it.


BAM BAM BUH DUH DO DUH DUH DUH DUH BAM BAM etc.

I call tambourine.

I play drums...well, not really, I more bang on them than anything. I can write lyrics, though.

anything! Find something everyone can agree upon and bam, we can write a single. I have a website, can try to put up a riff or idea.

sounds good :)
my drumkit is electric so a) plenty of styles on offer, and b) easy recording

i'd say something rocky would be good for style of course



i also play rythm guitar but badly and not for a few years (since my Marshall broke :()

righto Ill put up a link to a riff, probably will take 2 weeks at the most and see where it goes from there

you put up a link on ns a while back and your guitar skills were pretty good btw

any bassists out there?

I've been wanting to start a powerviolence band... I play guitar and sing (scream). Oh, and I've got some songs started.

Powerviolence being a retro movement within hardcore that combines 80s hardcore, 80s grindcore and thrash elements into a fast and chaotic blend.

And a name! :D

If you add a bit of post-rock to that, that'd be awesome.

I got ADD, I lack the attention span to make songs over 45 seconds long. :D

if there's a place for a rusty spanish and blues guitarist i'll be happy to fill it :)

So Man Is The Bastard were a 'retro' band? I think not.

I wish I had a decent program to record on my home computer.

Ive got mics and guitars and stuff....just no recording devices.

E-band....

Hmmm.....

I hate to be the one to suggest such a thing, but...a NS General E-Band, would be kinda fun.

It could be like an "Alan Parson Project" kinda thing, where anyone who wants to submit a song can, and have someone put another instrument on it.

If I had such a program, I'd submit a quick punky little number called "Suicide by Mod", or "Flame War" or something...heh.

I can upload something my friend did... dont worry, not copyrighted :p

Its a funky 80s style techno/keyboard thing that actually sounds really awesome speeded up, with heavy guitars and drums added (heard it done).

Other than that, I can play the triangle quite well...

OOH! And the Tuba! Tuba in a..what was it? Powerviolence band?? Sounds good to me!

i love the idea! :D
(and the songs :p)


i have a decent music production program that's not as comprehensive (or bloody complicated) as cubase, etc, but it very much does the job and i've used it to put together a couple of songs of a friends' band (linky1 (http://www.hlj.me.uk/Audio/Erebus%20song%2024%2707%2705.mp3) linky2 (http://www.hlj.me.uk/Audio/let%20the%20lies%2024%2707%2705.mp3)... both no lyrics or bass tho). i can offer some services in this regard for the "E-band" as well :)

Those were pretty good!

Punchy!

I like!

MUST....FIND...PROGRAM!!

I'd be willing to do some guitar stuff, and even vocals if I had one.

(but I cant really sing punk other than Misfits)

I'm a half ass drummer and fairly decent lyricist.

I call COW BELL! :cool:

I can play the symbols. :-)

Yet you can't spell "cymbals." :p

I can't play shit, so I call manager! :D 20% cut for me from all earnings.

you can organise band pissups ;)

every song needs more cowbell! :p

It's a very important role in the music industry. :D

I wanna be lead vocalist. I can scream exceptionally.

I can play any instrument you want and am an accomplished song writer ... I'm in!

I want to be the nude dancer!

I'm a half ass drummer and fairly decent lyricist.Jinx! :)

I want to be the nude dancer!How about the groupie? There are plenty of groupie positions still open.

So Man Is The Bastard were a 'retro' band? I think not.

Charles Bronson and Capitalist Casualties on the other hand.

seasoned bassit here. also mandolin and tenor banjo if you swing that way

bump!
anyone still interested in this? :)


i've set up a forum on the offchance people want to work on the project: www.nstheband.forumer.com
i might put up a drum track sometime soon :)

I have the ability to blow into a harmonica. (who doesn't?)
More importantly, I have the harmonicas to blow into.
In keys:
A, B flat, C, D, E, F, and G.
G happens to be my favourite. I have no idea why.

Ah, I also have some sort of microphone thing, that can record stuff.. I think.
*looks under desk searching through maze of wires*

I'm a classical singer. If you ever want to do something really cool and experimental, I can do the vocals. Or, I could work as a coach to your singer, if you perfer a more "contemporary" sound.

Um, I can hum?

this could be a good idea. people could write little parts then it could just build from there.

I call first violin! Or trumpet.

Contrary to what you think, it actually takes skills to play the harmonica well (just not much skills).

I can play the harmonica, flute, piccolo, tambourine, triangle, viola, violin, and piano (the last 3 crappily). I really don't think these are instruments you'd want in a band, especially a rock band. Still...they might count for something, right? Right?????

I call to do the vocals and the bongo's.

Ah, I was exaggerating there. I am aware it takes skills to play the harmonica, as I have been trying to teach myself to play for a while now.
As I have read somewhere: "It is easy to become good at playing the harmonica, and really really hard to get really really good at it."

I can play the hairy banjo

I'm amused by this concept. If you need a singer who can actually sing rather than scream, I'm in. ;)

I call trombone, I call trrombone!!!! (Hey don't worry, I play jazz)

I'll be the one who puts out the remixes :P
