None as far as I know. I think we missed a beat there as we just passed the 27 club.
yeah. I think there are two real bad duds as far as it's concerned. Never finished work on the next songs....mostly stemming from me. Then they asked me to sing my songs if I didn't like their ideas, so i took THAT up. Then the band basically broke up.
Anyways blah blah blah. Being in a band is like having several girlfriends at the same time. It's a lot of work. No two have the same reasons or motivations for even being in the group.
I hope others share. I was liking forward to it being trashed. At the very least, it would be amusing

Actually it`s exactly that kind of music, that people celebrating in Europe at those alternative festivals. No idea if you guys were able to deliver it Live on stage ( entertainment-wise).
There are a lot of US-Band like "Studio Junkies" wich were making some happy bucks over here during the summer.

Actually AT TIMES onstage we're BETTER. It's from those comparisons that older folks considered us in the style of TRAFFIC and WAR.
I guess it must've been the pot smoke (for others: I don't smoke)
I was in a band many years ago with my 2 brothers and an American friend. I was on drums but played 2nd guitar when we did No One Like You (Scorpions) and the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and Phantom of the Opera (Iron Maiden)
We played rock stuff and did many Rush covers (Natural Science, 2112, Cygnus X1, Distant Early Warning, Spirit of Radio) - Sweet covers (Action, The Sixteens, Burning/Someone Else Will, Hellraiser) and also Queen stuff - Dragon Attack, It's Late, Dead on Time, Rock It, Stone Cold Crazy, Ogre Battle and also Polar Bear, Blag...... a couple of Alice Cooper ones (The Ballad of Dwight Fry, Schools Out) and others by Triumph....blah, blah.....
I don't have any of the cassettes to hand but my brother has a pile of them and also home-recorded versions (Son and Daughter), some ELO songs and footage of some gigs we played. I'll ask him to send me copies.
We were due to play at New Years Eve one particular year and our guitarist decided he was going back to Denver and left us in the lurch a day before. The three of us decided to re-jig the band and songs rather than pulling out. I went onto guitar and youngest bro went from singer and rhythm onto drums. We had to drop the Rush stuff (except Spirit of Radio) cause he couldn't play the Peart stuff and filled those ones with Night Ranger (Don't Tell Me....) some more Queen and added Black Sabbath stuff (Children of the Sea, Neon Knights, Black Sabbath, Snowblind...)
At the time we thought it was great - having re-listened, it was pretty good and just wish we have the technology to have captured stuff a little easier rather than shoving a ghetto-blaster somewhere in the crowd.
Last time we played was probably 2003. Nowadays I choose to do my own recordings and transcribing cause I use it as a sense of achievement. I don't really miss gigging - band session always had my two brothers arguing half of the time. It should have been enjoyable but they kinda put a dampener on the times. (Also, it always seemed like the older brother never put effort into arranging, paying or sorting transport. )
Now THAT is a band I would go to see! Even though I am male, I wish to marry you and have your babies.

Ha ha, thanks Holly. We thought we had a great selection of songs that the usual bands didn't try - sadly at the time, people in our area didn't really know Rush stuff and a lot of the untypical Queen hits. We did Hammer to Fall hoping people would maybe appreciate us? Limelight by Rush wasn't even familiar. Odd nowadays that people always seem to now say they are into Queen but at the time they didn't care much for them.
We didn't want to play the songs that every rock-based bands seemed to dish out.
