Have you ever been in a band?

If so, what was the name and what instrument did you play?


in middle school i was in the school band. i played flute and i was one of the best in the class. i even got to perform a few solos. but then my instructor retired and we got a new teacher. she sucked the fun right out of it. So i quit playing Flute and switched to the General Music class instead.

no

Nope.

I was in a band last year. They were mostly druggies who "iced it" most of the time. But it was awesome because they were all hot guys and mates with benefits.

I was in a band up until last May.

The band never seemed to be called the same thing 2 weeks running. When I joined it was called Dynasty. The following week I found out it had been renamed and was now called Heavy Basix. Then the name got changed to Hard Dynasty.

I was the singer with the band. I joined the week before they were due to compete in a Battle of the Bands so I joined at the Eleventh Hour as it were. We rocked the house and came 3rd overall.

The next thing I know the guitarist leaves to join another band, but that band breaks up and he comes back to us. Then when it came to signing up for the following year's (this year's) BotB, I am told that the guitarist AND the bass player have both left to join different bands. I ended up giving the drummer my blessing to leave and take up a role at another band. The guitarist has since been kicked out of his new band.

I don't care much for being in a band, 4 people trying to decide what songs to do was a little hectic and we only came up with 1 song in 6 months. Although I did enjoy it, and would join if I had the priority on song choice.

Now that I'm flying solo, just me and my guitar, life is much easier. I play what I want, when I want. I even had a paid gig lined up but the event was cancelled which sucked. But I've got my name out there (sort of) as I regularly play with the local Folk Club (even if I don't play folk music) and I'm known as a Musician.

I've not done any in a while, but I do some recording from home. Its live recording as opposed to studio so its not perfectly balanced but I promised Blue that I would post them here when I got the appropriate converter for them. They're on my laptop and it doesn't have internet yet so when I get internet, you get my music.
