Matt.Hepworth Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 [i]How long?[/i] [b]My band's been together off and on for six years.[/b] ;) [i]Story?[/i] Started in 1994 (WAIT, that's SEVEN years!) and stayed with that line up until late '97 when the drummer moved. We "rented" a drummer for a couple months, but the bass player and old drummer were great friends and he didn't enjoy it as much without him. So, we recruited a new bass player in '98 and changed drummers three times (including a few months with our original drummer after he moved back :D )over the next two years. Finally we settled on our current lineup about one year ago to the day. Confused? Wait 'till I get going...now where was I... ;) This will definitely be the last construction of this band and [b]I think about breaking it up EVERY DAY![/b] I just want something new. We write lots of new stuff, but we still play some of the old stuff that got us moving in the first place - kind of tiresome after six - oops - seven years. No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natty fred Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 hey this is a nice thread, great stories!! at the moment i am in a jazz trio which has been together for about 1 year, but i also play regularly within a lose collective of musicians that form a number of groups, some jazz, some latin/brazilian, some funk... i moved from sydney to london 3 yrs ago and have found it really hard to find the right band, fortunately some of my friends eventually followed me in sydney i still played with people who i went to school with, not the same band tho. on the reasons why some of them broke up....mmmm...that would be a long post.... peace natty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
