The Chicago FAP Band Experience

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I had a crazy idea based on a misreading of the title of this thread. I want to have a band here in Chicago made up solely of ILXors, and the only time we ever play/practice would be when we can manage to arrange a FAP. I'm thinking once every 4 months or so. Has anyone ever done this before? (I'm guessing they have in New Zealand). Who's gonna play what? Who's got a practice space? WHO'S IN?

Dude, I'll play drums. Except I live in Madison and I'm only in Chicago when I've got a gig, or I really want Lawrence's Fisheries, or if I ever go to a FAP.

How did I miss this thread? (I was searching for something else.) Of course I'm in, dude!

I'll be in Chicago the weekend of the 13th! Gig at the Green Mill that day, then hanging around and seeing Dave Douglas the next night.

Can I be the missing ex-member, like the guy from the Gin Blossoms who killed himself?

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw, I was hoping to be the missing member, because I can't make it to FAPs. Maybe there can be two?

That sounds so fun!

Look, odds are, everyone is going to be a missing member. So just say you'll be in the band, and no one will be the wiser.

um. i'll come see the band but i can't sing or play any instruments.....

I've got a tambourine you can borrow.

eight months pass...

We should do this for real now that Sarah and I have a swank practice space.

Yeah!

More cowbell?

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Monday, 11 October 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

So...

Are you being serious, Nick? How could everyone manage to not talk about music criticism long enough to bang anything?

All of our songs will be about music criticism. We will play metarock.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 October 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I would come to Chicago for beer and metarock.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 11 October 2004 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh jordan take me with you!

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

HOW MANY COW BELLS DO YOU OWN?

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I want this band to sound like Royal Trux.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe this band should be called "COWBELL."

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I own two cowbells, a tambourine with a duct tape head, and a saucepan. I take them to all my gigs.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

You can borrow a cowbell, Matt.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still in. First song is called "Chuck Eddy is Old."

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 October 2004 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I got the "cow" part covered, JC. Just hook me up with a bell. (OR A BELLE>)

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Monday, 11 October 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a massive collection of toy keyboards.

― k3rry (dymaxia), Monday, 11 October 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

This is going to be so good.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

This never happened.
