I was in a punk band called “Gross Genitals” (there were 144 of us) but at every gig the band out-numbered the audience. The set-list was too small so we ended up playing the telephone directory.

It went down well as everyone in the audience eventually got a mention…worth considering. Srs.

The band is no more. Creative differences :lou_sunglasses:

Anyone want to start a covers band in Southampton?

Well, that lasted…

Care to elaborate on the "creative differences?

Edit: They sacked you didn’t they

Nah, honestly, I’ve been good as gold. I think the bassist and drummer started the band, so after the drummer did the offs, we got a message from the bassist saying he was leaving too.

I think it’s basically like that episode of the Simpsons where everyone stops being Stonecutters and joins the NoHomers (plural).

Ah, been in similar situations way back when. Often opportunities for vocal / guitarist combos to play in restaurants - usually doing jazz and Sade covers. I don’t see you knocking out a few of her tunes . Mind you it could be the start of a trend.

:lou_surprised:

I’m effectively moving down South for a bit anyways, so the bad news was kind of lucky. Besides, I know a hell of a guitarist in the city. Could do a covers band there.

Good luck to you then Sir

So basically you joined a perfectly happy Liverpool band and managed to split them up within a fortnight?

Quiet, or I’m going to have you doing a “Buster Bez” when we do Bad Manners covers.

I was thinking of @saintbletch initially but your post has swayed me.

Fuck you papster, my ego wants to fight you for lead vocals.

…well as long as we’re a Simon and Garfunkel tribute band that is.

Hello darkness my old friend…

Well, must admit to have worn said shits, or similar, when I lived there in early 90’s…

Edit: Shits, was unintentional, but is the right word.

Well if such a place exists, it’s Brighton.

My mate says my current shirt is"too camp for Brighton".

Perhaps that’s why I feel so at home here?
