I've got a band. Four guys, jamming, loving music, and loving to write songs. A little thrash metal, a little power metal, some old school riffage and lotsa dual guitar lemodies. LEMODIES??? I can't believe I just mistyped that... I'm leaving that...
I play the bass and do the singing. Problem is, I don't want to do both. I love playing bass, I love singing. I do them well. But not together. We can't find a bass player who sticks around long enough due to work or family or whatever, and certainly not a singer who can sing the way we'd want him to sound. We're in Detroit. Nuthin but hardcore growlers and emo kids. Certainly not gonna find someone that will sing like Dickinson or LaBrie. So until we either find a bass player or singer, I'll just do my best.
Lars316's also in my band. He's our drumming fiend. He's basically taking all our songs and going Richard Christy all over them. Obscene wicked drumming here, folks! You don't like extreme ideas, you won't like our music!
No, we certainly don't have any songs to share with you. Cuz the only songs we have even half-ass samples of, aren't even how we play the songs anymore. It'd take a good long weekend to record all those drum parts again the way Lars does it now, and then a helluva time getting our lead guitarist's tone ready to be recorded again. He's still waiting to get his amp modified so he can bias the tubes and not get such a buzzy, nasty sounding tone. But he's close, ever so close...
Sooner or later, we'll have something we might be brave enough to share. Until then, we're happy just writing our songs. We've still got four damn good riffs waiting to be wrestled with, and two songs that need to be put into a complete structure. That'll prolly take us til past ProgPower, so a Fall gigging date is most likely.
If any Detroit members are lurking around and wanna play bass or sing, lemme know... just think MetallicA, Ozzy, Vai, Satriani, Iced Earth, and maybe a little power metal thrown in there every once in a while.
