Fun Stuff > BAND

Here's a really great idea we do in my local scene

Keith Decent:
yeah the more i say/type the word "scene" the more i hate myself.  But i didn't wanna glob up the subject with "local community of artists and musicians."

anyways...

We have a band scrambler.  This is where everyone in or around the area who is interested puts their name in a hat, and four names are pulled at a time.  Each group of four names is a band and you get a month or so to write two songs pick one cover and practice.  At the end of this time we have a big show and all the bands perform.  It's really really awesome.  It's cool cause sometimes you get like 3 drummers, or 2 bassists in a band, or a band that is 50% people with no musical talent.  My friend just got into a band with 2 drummers, a flutist and a comedian.  Needless to say we're all really amped about what they'll come up with.

I thought I'd just put this out there, it's a good time.  Anyone else do this?

Misereatur:
That's a brilliant idea.

Lummer:
Do I see a DVD in the near future? I sure hope so!

The Hammered:
I second the cry for a DVD.

Keith Decent:
hmmmm perhaps.  that's not a half bad idea.  We do this every month or so, so there'd be plenty of time for planning a recording of a few sessions.

I might just be able to pull it off.  Considering (and here comes the "yeah, right, sure" part) that my local artistic community is PHENOMINAL it should be a pretty good watch.


Thanks guys.  I got something to do now for the next couple of months, haha.
