I bet there are more guitar players here than any else. I play guitar, drums and bass. But I say even if it's like 12 guitar players, two bassists, and one drummer, we'd still sound pretty good. Think of how many parts there would be to a song!

i play "percussion"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I non-play the guitar and the computer.

something something burt ward

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I have taken much inspiration from Frightwig and Lucinda Williams.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 27 November 2003 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Influences, yes.

Do you like at least three of the following bands?: Groundhogs, James Gang, Speed Glue & Shinki, Mastodon, Electric Wizard, ZZ Top, Drive By Truckers, Steely Dan, Electric Wizard, Royal Trux...?

― roger adultery, Thursday, 27 November 2003 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

roger man c'mon I am your guitar player, maybe even drummer.

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 November 2003 06:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I almost sold my guitars and amps and pedals and keyboard but for some reason just... couldn't quite... bring myself to do it.

On another note, a friend of mine said his new solo album sounds like Outkast meets the Fall.

Does anyone want to start a band in London? I'm sick of neo-shoegazing, I want to show them how *real* shoegazing is done!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Roger if you're a drummer or bass or rhythm guitar or triangle player just call me right fuckin' now. If you do gtr solos yourself I'm sure we can work something out

― dave q, Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Forming band = losing friends.

(still often worth it obv)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 27 November 2003 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I can play the oboe and theremin in this new band.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 27 November 2003 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate I will form a band with you. Our first album will be an epic musical based on Brideshead Revisited.

― Sam (chirombo), Thursday, 27 November 2003 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I play bassoon, surely this would fit nicely with the Brideshead musical?

― Jonathan Z., Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i will be in your band kate, aslong as I can just stand around looking vacant?!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay, Sam and Pink! Shoegazer epics about Brideshead Revisited! And so long as you look vacantly at your SHOES, Pink, yer in!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool, If I wear all black, can I wear my pink shoes?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Certainly! Maybe I will dye my hair fuschia to match... Then we can be the new Lush!

When are we EVER going to have that meeting with my boss?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay! (i think!)

is the meeting about whether you are staying or not?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

First song: The Bumblebee of Flyte

― Sam (chirombo), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I said we were the new Lush, not the new Fonda 500!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and suddenly you make all the decisions, huh? I want out!!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Who said you were in our band anyway?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

That's been your attitude since we started the band! You used to be cool, once - the music industry has ruined you, man.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

*looks vacant & stares at her pink shoes*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

::strums pretty guitar and sings prettily about shoes::

― Citizen Kate (kate), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

*Explodes into frenzied bent-note screaming rawk solo*

― Sam (chirombo), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Dave - the solos are all you dude. I prefer holding things down on teh bass or something.

Stencil, i'm game man. I'm about to buy my first drum kit after playing guitar and bass poorly for years. I write great songs tho, and am capable enough to make a racket on any old thing.

― roger adultery, Thursday, 27 November 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

*does that thing where I crouch down and turn like I'm spraying the crowd with a machine gun*

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I just need an additional person to sing along with my computer.

― nabiscothingy, Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I am here for you, Nabisco.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

...in electric dreams.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Together. Forever.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 November 2003 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 27 November 2003 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually a decent part of me has sort of wanted to rope a couple people in on a pop group to do some kind of stripped-down early-Cocteaus-but-with-dance-beats (instead of big echoey blurting) kind of thing (plus poppier).

― nabiscothingy, Thursday, 27 November 2003 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Funk New York. It's too hip!!

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Thursday, 27 November 2003 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i play keyboards! i'll be back in nyc dec. 2

― geeta, Thursday, 27 November 2003 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll play the triangle and do the hand-claps. or maybe i could be one of the fly-girls?

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 27 November 2003 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I play stuff. I want to sound like a Russian minimalist ELO.

Hey, this goes perfectly with my New Wave Of Shoegazing thing! Like Lush, with Reason.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Friday, 28 November 2003 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 28 November 2003 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i sound like bryan ferry with a headcold and i like to fuck around with a drum machine. too bad i don't live in nyc, we could have blurbs in interview by now.

― typo acapulco (gcannon), Friday, 28 November 2003 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

roger, serious, get in touch with me through my email. I have a lot of free time and would like to play music again.
