Are You In A Band

Yes, I sing in croatian pagan folk metal band called Stribog(meaning:the godfather of the winRAB, in slavic mythology)

Couple of years back, I was singing back vocals for an old croatian gothic rock band Phantasmagoria.

Also did several projects: Malkuth(black metal), Blackthorn (heavy/symphonic), Equinox Hunter (also some kind of heavy/symphonic), currently working on Terra Balkanica with one great musitian from Bulgaria (Atanas Gedov), this project is sth like pop/arabient.
 
Tarabourine is always good. You could always be a traditional country music background singer. I'm pretty sure the only requirement is to wear too much make-up.
 
i've been in a band off and on for the past.. 5 years or so. it all started out with just me on guitar and my buddy reid playing drums. then we met adam who plays bass, and one day he brought out keith who also plays guitar (and is now our lead vocalist). then we went through a couple singers, we started out playing korn and slipknot and **** like that (mind you this was in 1999) then we got into punk rock rock, then hardcore punk rock, and its slowly been getting heavier and more metal ever since then. keith is just our leav vocalist now, and pierre is our second guitar player. we've gone through 3 drummers as well. started with reid, he went to exchange school in turkey for a year so he was out, then we got jimmy, and after a year with him and only writing 2 new songs, we broke up for a few months. then we got back together with another drummer, cam, who was the best drummer by far, but he was a pompous ****, so we're back to jimmy as of last night. damn that a was a good practice. right now i'd call us a melodic hardcore band with metal overtones... not quite metalcore though, simply because i don't want to be classified as metalcore. the biggest show we ever played was opening up for not by choice when they came to chatham. our styles didnt mix too well, but hanging out after the show they told us we're one of the most talented band they've ever seen for people our age (me being the oldest at 18). thats me story, yeeeup. reckon.
 
^crash override, being from San Diego, I'm sure you remeraber Sever Your Ties and their keyboard player who would jump around with a tarabourine. That's always an option.
 
Thats bull.
The ramones didn't cover because it was to hard.
Much as i love them they aren't the most talented band in the world.
 
My frienRAB and I are actually just about to start an indie/hip hop band. Drony female clean vocals with a pretty steady drum beat and rapping from a male vocalist. It should be interesting.
 
I have a gibson too! They are gorgeous AND I HATE strats. They are too big for me(probably bacause I'm 15) I like Ibanez. It was my first guitar and then I swaped to an old CMI my dad had. I guess bacause it was my dad's I know the fretboard better than I know the back of my hand. And now I have a Gibson and I'm in love with it. All three guitars in just less than one year. I never knew how to play an instrument but now I play in a band, so yay! I'm really lucky that the band merabers are my sisters because they are always there to practise:love:
 
I play bass for a band down at the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, i also played for The Max Rebo Band for a brief period of time when Jaba The Hutt kept me as one of his slaves.
 
I work/drive for/write for/book for/perform for a pseudo-progressive metal band out of Myrtle Beach, SC named Aftermath. I hear this name's already taken, but I've never heard of a reputable Aftermath from the past, so we seek to claim that name as our own.

I take care of the lead vocals and all of the guitar as we're a 3-piece. Our influences mainly derive from the sounRAB that enter our brains through abstract and unknown means, but direct musical references to inspiration would include Tool, Mastodon, Psyopus, Between The Buried And Me, Gojira, Frank Zappa, Billy Cobham, Primus, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Car Borab, Opeth, Liquid Tension Experiment, Meshugga, etc... And not necessarily in that order.

We're just doing our best to create something new and good. We're not out to be rock stars.

I can't post the link to our page yet because I haven't posted enough o this site just yet, but if anyone's interested, the link is in my contact info.
 
I always wondered what kind of band you were in Dave. I guess I know now. That's cool you opened for alexisonfire, you're so modest about stuff like that.

I played bass in three banRAB before I joined the military.

1st being A Safe Crisis. A post-hardcore/punk band in high school, we started off playing Thursday covers and went on to write some other originals. Never released a demo, played alot of small shows but nothing to speak of.

2nd Band I was in was when I was about 19-20. 2 dudes from ASC and a couple new guys, we were called The Greenfield Spy. We played all originals and this is were I first experienced recording. Nothing too serious, we just did a couple songs to put online. We played alot of shows over the course of about 1 1/2 and then had to break up.

3rd Band was a progreeive metal/ metal-core band called MurderInMind (I know I never liked that name either). This was bby far the bet band I was in, we played alot of huge shows, some small festivals, and even did a demo session. We opened for Gwen Stacy, Kingston Falls, and The Analyst among others. This is were I began to see what being in a travelling band could actually be like. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and I was forced to move on to something a little more responsible now. I can't wait to play again though. Hopefully I can get a band together out here sometime soon.
