Bands (play that funky music, yadda yadda)

So I know I'm not the only one here in bands. Tonkka is in a rockin' metal band. Makershot is in a cool post-punk (ish?) band. Captain K is in a cool band. Let us speak about those experiences here, in this venue. Also, fuck it, what bands do you like? Do you play an instrument but you're too much of a pussy to find a band? Why might that be, pussy?

I, for one, am in two bands that play pretty regularly around Seattle here. Many of you who came to town for Pax got to see one of them, Masters, Mates and Pilots, live and in color. The other band, I personally think is better musically, but less catchy in a popular music sense. That band is called Ionesco and recently we played a show at a local venue called The High Dive and some clandestine video-recorder captured a couple of moving pictures of two of our songs:

Broken Boats

Humanium

SPEAK!

    i am in a rockin' metal band

    we play pointy guitars

    it is disgustingly hard to find a gig here in town now that the primary all ages venue is turning into a 21+ venue

    damn our youthful enthusiasm

    Homeless I like your band. You should go to pretty much either coast. Local metal scenes on both edges of the country are booming.

    Word. Warbringer is a band from my town that got signed to Century Media and just got back from a tour that went all the way to Ukraine. They offered a producer buddy of mine a shot at producing their next record but he has to bring them a demo of stuff he's produced first and he's not getting off his ass and writing music for us D;

    god warbringer rules

    a band from socal stayed at a buddies house after we played a show with them

    i'd love to get out the coast eventually

    we're all pretty frustrated with the scene here (if it ain't dancepunk you don't get shit)

    and all the metal bands mostly hate each other

    what band was it? i've probably at least seen them on moshking

    and yeah, Warbringer is the shit. I got to meet most of the band. Amazing show. Best part: right after the set, when the curtains closed before Finntroll got on, John (the singer) got on the mic and shouted "SMOKE! WEED! EVERY! DAY!" and then started playing bob marley on the PA. gonna see them in LA again this Saturday and I get to see mother fuckin' Horna on halloween 8-)

    post-punk whaaaaaaaaaaa?

    I have varying interest in post-punk bands. Like some of them are really good (Amesoeurs are sort of a post-punk/black metal crossover thingy and incredibly awesome), but there is a lot of crap.

    I think I like Humanium better. I don't know...both are pretty awesome! I'll be checking out more when I've got the time.

    Also, Homeless, I find your band to be incredibly cheesy and it's fucking awesome. If it weren't 7:00 in the morning and I wasn't by myself I would have beers and good times to it. Serious kudos dude.

    Also, I am in a band. We just opened for a band called Fake Problems who has toured with Against Me and other big awesome acts. We are not a punk band. We are called Blaze N' Murder. We are not a metal band.

    www.myspace.com/blazenmurder sorry for the myspace link, but I believe that's the only place on the interwebs that we've got tunes (other than Facebook, but I mean, come on).

    Also also, we're thinking of putting a new tune up and I could use you guys' advice. Instrumental song that's a little bit more rockish and catchy or a not instrumental song that is cheesy in all departments (even with a guitar solo at the end!) Only one goes up. You decide (unless I don't like your decision).

    Ok! I just remembered that I have all of our tunes on imeem. So, which one is better (or less bad) and would be more worthy of showing people?

    Far Too Many Fingers, the instrumental one,
    http://www.imeem.com/people/dw5rj4K/music/pKpNQeph/blaze_n_murder_far_too_many_fingers/

    Or The World, the not instrumental one with a guitar solo at the end.
    http://www.imeem.com/people/dw5rj4K/music/H7SifvcC/blaze_n_murder_pussy_feet/
    (It's called Pussy Feet on here because we didn't have a name for it and the dude who recorded us thought it was funny I guess?)

    Blaze N' Murder is the worst name. Also, I play guitar (one of them), sing, and do the core of the song writing.
