Any DUers in the Denver Metro area want to join my band?

[furrylitldevil]

We're looking for a singer, have been for a while. Just thought I'd ask if anyone out there was looking to sing some rock & roll songs.

1. I can sing

Probaly not but would like to try out for the hell of it, too bad I don't live in the Denver Metro area.

2. I'd join ya

...but I think the six-hour commute to band practice is more than I would have put up with, even back in the day.

Besides, I don't look as good on stage wearing just a belt and a dishtowel anymore. ;)


Meeeeeemmooooriiiiies.....

3. Do you earn enough to make a living?

I'm a good singer, a great sax-player (MM in performance), and a passable rhythm guitarist. Also play flute, keyboards, percussion (my minor), and bagpipes.

5. Sounds like you're too pro for us

Right now we're just guitar, bass, and drums in a hardcore/metal band. If mp3.com were still up I could point you to some samples of songs. It's like Pink Floyd meets Rage Against the Machine on a lot, but tehre's everything from Maiden to Tool to Korn to Marvin Gaye.

6. Once again, I'm over-qualified

although.....Anyone who sites "Tool" as an influence....

I keed. I keed. :D

11. What's that? A knife? Right in my back?

Just kidding. :D But I am all about the way they write their songs. The layers and textures and whatnot.

4. what do you do?

what do you play?

where do you play?

describe the band.

[furrylitldevil]

9. Okay, here goes

For what we play, see the previous post.

We practice just north of Denver in a town called Frederick, our drummer lives in Greeley so it's a nice medium between the two cities.

As far as description goes-The drummer's main influences are the more hardcore 80's bands like Maiden, Metallica, etc. and he is 26. The bassist is 24 and likes the computer music, techno and samples and the like. I'm the guitarrist, 23 and into bands like Tool, Rage, System, but I also dig on the more mellow stuff like Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, and Neil Young.

7. Have you played your obligatory wednesday night at Herman's?

:-)

[Robb]

8. Man we used to dig Herman's Hideaway

Back when we lived in Denver. Strugglers forever! ;)

15. Up until we left Denver in July

we were there all the damn time. Boyfriend is in a band. And I was hooked into the local music scene through school. It's sad when the doorman knows your name. Man, that place was dirty!

[Robb]

16. You don't know from dirty

...I was in the math-punk scene in Oakland in the mid 90's. There are some diiiirty places to play out West. :)

[curse10]

17. Oh, there are worse

15th Street Tavern in Denver, being one. But Herman's just had a nice coat of grunge that was ever present :-) LoL

10. We haven't had a singer

It's kinda tough getting gigs with no front man. But we did play a show at the Federal Theater about a month and a half ago. People seemed to like it.

12. I CAN'T sing, but I DO live in Denver!

I figured one out of two is enough!!!!!!!!!

[furrylitldevil]

13. Right now

One out of two is MORE than enough!

[joeybee12]

14. Whoo-hoo! Fame and fortune here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

18. I can grimace musically...and growl intensely...

...but then, I don't live in Denver. ;-)

Good luck.
