I can play both, and other instruments. I wouldn't normally be interested, but Urusei Yatsura are probably my favourite British band of the 90's. I'm a chap, with testicles, but am happy to dress up.

Hallo there,

I'm looking for a bass player to complete a four-piece band. Influences: Mark Kozelek, Elliott Smith, Gorky's, Will Oldham... Hopefully with a band it will get a bit Crimson and Beefheart as well... Who knows?

Do PM if interested! MySpace in ma signature.

I want to start a band called 'Atomic Jihad'

that is all....

by **Mrs Rarg** » 11 Sep 2006, 21:05

I like singing backing vocals.

More usefully, perhaps, I like translating band reviews from Italian to English.

strangley enough i also made a similar mis-reading. i read it as 'vocals backwards'.

mis-reading in different ways is fun.

oh, incidentally i know a new 'band' who are looking for a drumming person. Is anybody capable of this and free mondays thru saturdays?

by **Statick** » 12 Sep 2006, 14:24

so this drummer is only allowed sundays off then !

Well, no. Its actually that any activity that could happen would happen during those days. You dont work on the Sabbath.

by **Statick** » 12 Sep 2006, 15:42

i do !

oh, and unless the band is super-mega-awesome-fab, then sorry i'm too busy !

by **thom** » 12 Sep 2006, 15:50

the band will be super-mega-awesome-fab. Although because of the nature of the 'band' it is not yey fully formed due to the lack of drum.

Having said that it really does depend upon your definition of 'super-mega-awesome-fab'.

by **Statick** » 12 Sep 2006, 16:03

exactly !

I think we are going to need a drummer as of Next week.

Mars Volta, Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd, Muse - we don't sound like any of them but that is who we like!

You get it

by **Dr_Lucas** » 04 Oct 2006, 18:15

myspace although I would say the only fair comparison is WW3 on there as the others are being changed/binned - www.myspace.com/radiosexshow

and aye....Bristol based indeed, all early 20ish if you care :cool:

by **Dr_Lucas** » 04 Oct 2006, 22:17

Yeah we started more that way and are kinda getting away from it for something that suits us better.....cheers for the original interest though

by **The Bearded Lady** » 09 Oct 2006, 15:24

Thinking of starting a lo-fi jazz project. Need Drummer who can more or less do uptempo bebop style drumming. Like Bitches Brew (Miles Davis)

Send me a message if interested!

by **Jambon spandau** » 11 Oct 2006, 16:53

The above inspired by this, perchance? http://www.myspace.com/gabbauk 

I'm looking for guitarists who can sight-read. If you're one please PM. I've been scoring things. It's going to be a while before it comes to fruition, but if you could make yourself known I'd be grateful.

by **methods at work** » 12 Oct 2006, 16:31

I can read music, but I'm slow. I've not read with any regularity for about 12 years, so it's certainly not sight reading.

by **enKevlogramme.** » 12 Oct 2006, 17:04

Sounds fine. I should've written 'read music', but guitarists often assume this to mean tab. Which it doesn't, because it's hard enough writing notation, let alone translating it into spacker language. I'm not terribly hot at reading myself, so the pieces (guitar quartets, one duo and something that might end up being for 2 guitars & violin) are going to be pretty simple. I think you'd be ideal, Mr Methods, on account of a lot of it being somewhat Feldman-esque. I'll probably end up sending pieces out for people to practice prior to actually playing them.

Anyone else not a tabspacker?

Just out of interest, I once saw a computer program that translates musical scores to tabs. That is all.

I've seen them. The problem is is that anything outside of 4/4 is harder to get into tab... or harder to read. Syncopation and timing from tabs are much, much more difficult. Hence most rock bands needing drummers, rather than using drums for dynamic effect. Not a hard and fast rule, but a general one nonetheless.

It's amazing how hard it is to break out of that timing-trap in a rock band - and not lapse into "math" angularity, which is just another type of rigidity. We try all the time and it doesn't really happen.
That's why Beefheart was a fucking god on stilts.

Beedee dow dow DOW DOW de Dee Dow MY smile is stuck, I cannot go back to your frownland bee dow dow dwee dorn ding...

Piece of piss mate. Just play your bit and don't pay any attention to anyone else, except to play a different bit to what they're playing.

I would say the same reason Beefheart was great is what makes the Shaggs among my top 5 favourite bands. Sometimes people who can't play play better than people who can play a bit, or can play a lot.

by **bagpuss** » 24 Oct 2006, 20:16

I can play cornet/trumpet, slowly starting to improve now, and fancy playing something other than my own stuff. Preferably something weird/experimental. NOT SKA PUNK.

Strings needed!

Scarlatti Tilt are looking for either cello or viola to add to their set.

Have a listen to so some stuff at www.myspace.com/scarlattitilt.

If you're interested, email us at scarlattitilt [at] hotmail.com

Greg, click Modify on your post above and turn your email address into scarlattitilt "at" hot mail d0t com, lest ye be e-Raped by abattoir scrapings and cock pimps.

rape@yourinbox.com

Enjoy.

by **Slowman** » 15 Nov 2006, 19:30

Slow are looking are looking for a violin, viola or possibly a cello player...

Of course it's also fine if by some miracle you play and have all three of those instruments in one handy package ;) We play pretty chilled out, slow paced, acoustic songs - see www.slowmusic.co.uk and www.myspace.com/slowspace  for more info

We rehearse in south Bristol, once a week, usually on a Weds night. We don't exactly have a punishing gig schedule, more a selection of choice outings. We are recording for an album at present, and you would probably feature on that as well as at upcoming live dates if it works out.

We need someone who is a reasonably acomplished player, but who gets off on the less is more ethos, and is happy to take a bit of direction. If you can sing / play other instruments, then we'll feed you extra treats. We need someone who is relaxed but who can commit some time and reliably turn up to things. In an ideal world you'd be a girl, as then we'd have a perfect yin/yang balance in the band (currently 3 x yang to 2 x yin ratio) but that's not so important, and we don't want to get done by any equal ops cops who might be randomly coming this forum

In this imaginary ideal world you'll also probably have records by Low, Red House Painters, Sparklehorse, Goodspeed You! Black Emporer, Explosions in the Sky, etc in your collection, along with some moody orchestral peices in minor keys and so on. You'll enjoy working in a candle-lit environment, sipping fine wine and nibbling organic middle-class finger food, and playing beautifully crafted notes whilst zoning out in semi-meditative state. We have a nice wooden table with six chairs, one of which is currently vacant and waiting for you. Nice comfortable cushion also available.

Look forward to meeting you soon

SLOW

Damn. If I were a girl who could play strings I'd have so much fun. And you already have a harmonium player. With a dope harmonium. DAMMIT
