Today I played music with other people for the first time since October.

[Nagle]

It's a rock and roll project called Gadank that me, a friend from high school who goes to school in Jersey and a college friend of mine put together. My bro from high school and I had a band called Dead Alive that involved lots of gore and improv and this is sort of a continuation of that.

For anyone interested here's a link to our very basic website and an mp3 of some dicking around today. It's by no means the tightest thing around but we'll practice more and things will get tighter from there.

Enjoy, I guess.

Let me add that this was recorded to casette with one crappy mic so the sound quality isn't exactly pristene.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

I did enjoy! I really like where it goes at the end.

 

[Nagle]

Woah! Thanks Josh. I didn't think anyone would like it. There's a lot of noodling but that's the part you liked so cool!

 

[Stultus]

I like how it's clocked at 3:14. Very irrational.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

I also like how you made the genre "Power Ballad"

fuck yah!

 

[Nagle]

Dude... Arty (the drummer) and I wanted to call ourselves Aerosmyth but George (keys) wouldn't let that fly. We just stuck our initials together into a pronouncable word and GADANK was decided upon as a name.

The music will get a lot tighter in the future if I have any say in the matter.


BTW

3.14 is a rational number, buddy. It's <pi> that isn't.

 

[Stultus]

You could've also taken into account that it is 3 and 14/60 (=3.2333) minutes in decimal if you wanted to get real cutesy with the math. I didn't. Irrational is a compliment.

 

[Nagle]

That's true but it's still very rational.

 

[GRIND.KILLED.EMO.]

dude, that song, totally needs a metalcore breakdown, which reminds me, toby next cd u need a tough guy hardcore song, with a wikkid brahkdawn

 

[FuSoYa]

your tone is nice, alex

 

[Nagle]

Woah? You like that guitar tone? I can't STAND it but it was all we had available.

Also, metalcore=possibly my least favorite form of music ever so no dice.

The latter-day Carcass-y riff is as close to metalcore as I will ever get.

 

[goatschool]

sounds good, and the name immediately reminds me, sort of, the japanese GASTUNK, so that's good too

 

[The Dope]

Sounds good. I still want to hear more of the XthoughtstreamsX stuff though. I have only heard the 3 songs available on mp3.com.
