I've got my electric this term so how about a jam some time? we can have 2 guitarists, and also we need someone that can sing. and a mic.

I'm up for it, as usual. The booking schedule seems quite empty lately so it should be pretty easy to get a good slot (I should normally have some booking credits but they're not yet showing on the website). It'd probably be a good idea to think of two or three songs to play in advance though. :p

My account is fixed now so I can book a practice. How is next Wednesday 4-6?

yeah sounds good

I've booked it but it might be 5-7, I'm not exactly sure. We should probably still try getting there at 4 in case it's not, no one has booked the slot before. Is anyone else coming? Also, any song preferences?

hopefully cj on bass, also can alex play guitar?? if not then someone else or we could just play as a trio again. I reckon we can nail hey joe pretty well, and maybe some led zep II, they're quite easy to play. we should also start writing our own stuff sometime.

With me playing guitar, the sound the guitar makes and the sound I intended it to make are separate things. I'll be down as a no. I haven't got the time or patience or guitar nowadays.

I'll be up for that :) I'm so tempted to bring my (soon to be obtained) turntable to a practise session sometime, get some Pendulum style sounds going with decks and guitars

Cool. We could also try some Floyd and Cream (quite fun to play, eg. White Room, Sunshine of Your Love, etc.) and other stuff like that. We could do some improvised jams as well and should definetly try to write some stuff too.

Short reminder to anyone else who might consider turning up that this is tomorrow. :p

Oooops, totally forgot about this

Let's do it again, this time let's play some S.O.A.D. (preferably suite-pee or sugar- so much fun to play!!)- if you don't have it, learn it off Deezer .

yeah it was fun. i also reckon some flaming lips would be pretty cool. I can also play born to be wild which is always a bit of a laugh.

I'm all over this if we start playing some flaming lips, although how well it'll work in a traditional 2 guitar 1 bass 1 drumkit setting remains to be seen...

I think it's probably doable if you give one of the guitars the synth/keyboard stuff and mess around with two rhythm guitars in some places. It'd definetly be interesting to see the results (though for it to sound close you would need quite a few pedals I expect :p). Any specific songs in mind?

I'd suspect that some of the older stuff might be better, She Don't Use Jelly would be awesome and wouldn't be that heavy on my little Zoom 707-II pedal, and of course something like Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1 or Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell could be doable with some clever pedal trickery...

Jamie

The whole of Monday and Tuesday until 6 are free, anyone feel like having a practice on one of those days?

(Also, everyone should learn this :p)

tuesday 4-6 would be good i reckon, might have another guitarist lined up as well.

Ok, got Tuesday 4-6. What songs do you guys want to play?

Is that next tuesday or today?....

Today. (Next Tuesday is the Differentiation exam so it's not really feasible :P)

Coolio, I'll be there... SOAD please, as above, Will print out tabs lyrics etc.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a mic?

There's an electronics store in Cannon park, you might be able to get a cheap one there (or maybe even in Tescos).

it's pretty stupid that they don't have one in the practise rooms.

EDIT - just ordered one off amazon so get ready for a post-exam rock out!!!

got a complete band? Pres of bandsoc and 2008 BOTB winner here!
Just so you know, the reason we don't offer mics is because they get nicked! It's bad enough people stealing kettle leads etc. (why o why would anyone steal a kettle lead....?)
However, with the new build we're hoping to have better security (i.e. records and possibly cctv of who's going in and out, which means we can then offer mics :)

that's pretty low, but i don't blame you for not supplying them if they don't stay there.
