jeremy c Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This week I will start playing in the musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The band is on stage in this show, so I am busy memorizing all the music. For those of you not familiar with the show, it portrays the life story of a transsexual rock singer from East Germany. It's a pretty crazy show and is selling out every night. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b5pilot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Congrats on the new gig! Knock 'em dead! I'm vagely familiar with the story. The angry inch refers to a botched sex change operation does it not? Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally Malone Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sounds like fun. What do they have you wearing? Post us a picture of the band when you get one. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric VB Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 JC, you are truly versatile! Suit and tie for a punk band? "The Origin of Love" is probably my favorite, but the angry punk songs are a lot of fun, too. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angry inch refers to a botched sex change operation does it not? That is correct. I will be wearing torn jeans, a Ramones t-shirt, and fake tattoos on my arms. No blue bass for this gig, I'm bringing a black P-bass. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcadmus Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 No blue bass for this gig, I'm bringing a black P-bass. Well that goes without saying. What else would you use? "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b5pilot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well that goes without saying. What else would you use? A beat up white p-bass with a black pickguard perhaps. Lydian mode?

picker Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well, they're definitely wiggy, but I don't really see much anger...;^) Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddiePlaysBass Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm afraid to admit that some of them look cute - but I'm not sure if they're women Does this make me an angry transsexual? Right on, Jeremy!! Is it an original score? I am not familiar with this musical. "I'm a work in progress."

Eric VB Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 David, there are plenty of vids on YT. It looks like they used a black T-bird in the film version. Here's "Hedwig's Lament" and "Exquisite Corpse". The first song is a soft ballad; skip to 1:55 if you want to hear what JC will be rocking out to! [And yes, it looks like one of the cast is paying homage to our very own Bear Jew (e.g. 2:17).] [video:youtube]j_9GVrIbArg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm afraid to admit that some of them look cute - but I'm not sure if they're women Two of them are not women. The show is a lot of fun. The angry inch doesn't mean they are angry. You'll have to find out what the show is about for you to know what it means. Is it an original score? I am not familiar with this musical. It was an off-Broadway musical and then was made into a film with the same director and actors. It has become a cult film, sort of like Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Nicklab Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I saw the movie when it was in the theater. The story definitely has a twisted sense of humor at work. And the music is pretty cool, too. Have fun with it, J! Are you going to break out the Matt Freeman P-Bass for this? It might be the right bass for the gig.

kenfxj Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Break a leg JC! Definitely a black or white p-bass, maybe a Stooges or Dictators sticker or two. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcherNburn Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Congrats, it looks like it could be fun. What's the schedule like? The temp tattoos are better than the tat sleeves. As far as the stickers on the bass you may want to stick them to some fuzzy cloth first so they come off easy. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

jeremy c Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Played my first show tonight. It went great! Lots of fun playing in an actual rock band.

Bottom End Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have never seen the play, but the soundtrack really rocks, enjoy! "Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.
