[aquaman]

Oh yeah, what did you "do" in the band? I played the drums.

[KitchenWitch]

Dirtnap


In the Too Much Fun Band I sang and played harmonica

[WCGreen]

2. IIFF

In It For Fun... Lame as hell.... the name, not the band.....



The other one was Eclectic in Nature...


I played Guitar, Sang and did some slightly better than Flock of Seagulls keyboard work....

[enigmatic]

3. hahahahaha

In order:

The "learning how to play years"

Nebula
The Void

"The Hardcore Punk blending into Indie Rock years"

White Slaves Of Sammy Davis Junior
Gay Cowboys In Bondage
Yom Kippour and The Circumcisions
The Vasectomies

"The Quiet Alt-Country years"

The Missouri Breaks
God Damn Son

Those were the days..

[aquaman]

4. Cool names,

Hope you are well, have not talked to you in while. I have not forgot about the cd that I promised to send you. I am waiting until it is "officially" released, which is soon, so you can play a tune or two on your show.

Regarding one of my old bands, Biscuit Head Love Train, we would always bake biscuits the night before a show, write messages on them, and then throw them at the audience, gently of course.

[enigmatic]

5. I'm ok

My job is going to be taking me into the dreaded daytime (6am-2pm) for the time being, so I'm going to have to crash pretty early from now on. How the hell I'm going to do it on the other hand..

[aquaman]

6. Yea, those are early hours....

I get up at a 5am during the week which is why you do not hear from me during the week.

[enigmatic]

7. I'm going to have to knock myself out

Here comes Ny-Quil...

[aquaman]

8. Your body will eventually become adjusted,

Mine has, although I stay up quite late on the weekends. By the way I have two extra tickets to the Son Volt show in Asheville NC. My brother and his wife can't go, get on your jet and fly down.

[enigmatic]

10. I'm there!!

God, I wish I could go to that; in Asheville, too. I love that town..

[aquaman]

11. Actually,

I am looking for a job in that area as we speak, LONG story.

[enigmatic]

13. You're coming in from The Cold?

Moving into town, too?

[aquaman]

14. No,

Hopefully will find a job in the area, but still live out in the sticks, I gotta have my space and don't mind the commute to work. I live over 30 miles from current job so looking for about the same distance.

[enigmatic]

15. Good call

I'm like you; gotta have my space..

[aquaman]

16. Actually,

A friend of mine and my wife and I may go in together on a piece of land up there to make it cheaper. Come on down, we could have our own "city."

[enigmatic]

17. Commune!

That would be pretty cool..

[aquaman]

18. That would be cool.....

I agree, come on, join in the fun, Canada can't be that fun. Living around Asheville and close to your old stomping grounds of Athens Georgia would be great.

[enigmatic]

19. I love it here

I've fallen flat-out, madly in love w/ Canada; I think I was meant to move up here even if I had never met my wife. I've lived all over the US, and although I'll always love my big, beautiful mess of a country despite who's in charge now, this feels like the home I've been looking for all my life..

[aquaman]

20. Well,

Then we are going to come move in with you, I am sure that you don't mind. :)

[enigmatic]

21. If you can get the kitty out of the spare room

It's yours!:)

[aquaman]

22. Shit, I can't leave the south.... (your cat is safe)

I actually kinda get off on living in an area that I am outnumbered. I just look at the conservatives around here and go "Boo." Asheville on the other hand is one of the most liberal cities in the south that I have ever visited.

[Heidi]

9. I just wanna say:

:loveya: enigmatic.

Sweet dreams, when the Ny-Quil hits. :hug:

[enigmatic]

12. Thanks Heidi

:hug:

[VOX]

32. White Slaves Of Sammy Davis Junior? CLASSIC!!!

Great band names, enigmatic! :thumbsup:

[mitchum]

33. Hey, you played that FLA circuit with Charlie Pickett and the Eggs...

(one of the finest rockandroll bands to ever stagger across the planet) with Gay Cowboys In Bondage. That was an incredible scene at the time.

[ghostsofgiants]

40. Your hardcore/indie years provided some great names!

[Tikki]

23. P O A

Tikki

[caty]

24. "Raven"

Lead singer--we fell apart when three were drafted.

[khashka]

25. I wrote lyrics

for Louis and The Losers.

They really were losers... bad doesn't even begin to describe 'em.

They were trying to be metal and I was channelling Stevie Knicks - not a good match.


Khash.

[RetroLounge]

26. I played guitar in these bands, some for very short time

But long enough to do a gig or two, some bands lasted for years.

Heretic
ICY EWE
All Fall Down
Below The Salt
The Tearaways
Fear of Flowers
Woolton Parrish

RL

[tigereye]

27. two bands

and one art ensemble of sorts...

Toxic Shock was the first one and
Bone of Contention was the one I was in for a decade until I had a kid.
Purple Lady Arts Ensemble was the other one, more a dance and music collective.

All had several women in them.

I played the drums mostly, since no one else wanted to, but I also played occasional keyboard, guitar and bass. :)

[mitchum]

28. Roger Mudd & The Witches, General Jack and the Grease Guns...

The Spanish Tonys
piano bass guitar

[johnnie]

29. A few of mine

I'm still in bands, but here are a few names through the years.

Black Velvet (My first at 12 years old)
Stonehenge (Spinal Tap ruined that one for us)
Johnnie and the Commodes
Skin-4-Skin
Right Here
Bad Cheque

There were a lot more, I just can't think right now.

[asthmaticeog]

36. So Johnnie,

When you were in Johnnie and the Commodes, did you yourself go by the name "Johnnie Commode?" If not, wasted opportunity, man.

Still a hilarious band name, though, big ups. :thumbsup:

[johnnie]

46. Sorry, didn't see this last night

Yeah, I went by Johnnie Commode. It was a fun band.

[Skittles]

30. OMG A DRUMMER IN GRUB WORM

I would have DEFINITELY taken you home to torment my dad :thumbsup:

[VOX]

31. What? Whatya say? Speak up! I was in a !$*^&%$ band and I'm 1/2 deaf now!

When I'm in even a small group of people, it's tough to make out what the person in front of me is saying -- I've noticed a definite drop-off in lower-end frequencies. :(

Bands:
1) The Yeomen
2) Fear Itself
3) Parchman Farm
which became...
4) The Farm

Lead vocals, guitar, slide guitar, blues harp. Still play blus harp today! :thumbsup:

[Arugula Latte]

34. When my husband was a kid, he was in "The Group"

I'm sure you've all heard of them...

[asthmaticeog]

35. A few of mine

Ultimate Squirmy (college art/noise/performance bullshit)
John Cardinal Shecky
You Would if You Loved Me
Biblical Proof of UFOs (which still exists, sans me, in L.A.)
Proletarian Art Threat
Fearless Vampire Killers (a Bad Brains tribute)

[RandomKoolzip]

47. You were in Biblical Proof of UFO's?!

I have one of their tunes on my iPod!

Damn, asthmaticeog....I think we might have been lovers once.

[Lubernaut]

37. Let's see...

I played drums for:

Checkered Flag
Roy and the Tumbleweeds
The Age of Fudge
Elan

and guitar for:

The Poco Herring

[ghostsofgiants]

38. The one band I was in was called Din

Main Entry: 1din
Pronunciation: 'din
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English dyne; akin to Old Norse dynr din, Sanskrit dhvanati it roars
1 : a loud continued noise

[xmas74]

39. I dated the guys in the band.

So I did nothing and everything at the same time.

[MrSlayer]

41. Dead Pirates, Pubic Lobster

I did Lead Vocals in the Pirates and played drums in Lobster. It was actually the same band, we all just switched instruments and opened up for ourselves. Was quite fun.



A pic from the glory days.

[mitchum]

43. Dude, it's your Misfits t-shirt picture!

I remember the days when at least one band member would be wearing a Misfits or Ramones t-shirt in any promo photo.
In fact, I made up a mythical band called Misfits T-Shirt :)

[no name no slogan]

42. So many... where to start?

I've been playing in groups for 20+ years, and there's too many to name. Here's the most recent.

Mr. K (current band-- guitar, vox, keys, songwriting, occassional bass, etc.)
Mr. K's Dream (previous incarnation of current band-- with different drummer)
Deadbeat Generation (guitar, vox, keys, bass, songwriting)
Nowhere (guitar, vox)
Risqué (keys, guitar, backing vox)
The Statues (guitar, keys, backing vox)
Rub the Buddha (guitar, vox)
Joshua's Sword (a joke band-- Christian Fundie Death Metal-- guitar, vox)

That's the only ones I can remember. There have been countless others that didn't last long enough to get proper names, and a couple stints backing solo artists, too.

[hobo_baggins]

44. Semen Samples, Lord Bagel, Sponge(before the other band made it big)

[KyndCulture]

45. I was the token chic bass player

With 4 gay guys... our band was called Bent.

[RandomKoolzip]
