I am the frontman of Plastic Crime Unit
but we all have unique musical visions and so refuse to even be in the same room.
A loose description is no-time-death-ukele-core. We would have a better output but we don't know where to put the Xs in our genre.
Hell o.
I am Dan and I play in Nitkowski. You haven't heard of us.
Hello my name is

We also run our own night called Thee Awkward Silences' Silent Night. No-one ever shows up to watch but the bands who play seem to quite enjoy themselves.
HAHA! 'THEE'!
Our old guitarsit asked us to stick the second "e" on
then we couldn't be arsed to remove it. I'm still in two minds whether I want shot of it or not. I'd conduct a straw poll if I thought anyone cared...

this is samuel blunk
i live in seattle, usa. my band is called blicky. our first record just came out on local label beep repaired. (actually it's not really a label. they don't promote us and we don't get paid). we've been around for over 2 years. we play around town a couple times a month, hoping to tour next year, if we can afford to buy a van. nobody's heard of us either, you should seriously check us out. we play psychedelic post-punk/electro. and we honestly don't sound like anyone else.

Both were made up on the spot, guitar/drums/vox, all recorded into a mic from Comet. Once i get my essays out the way we're going to take it a bit more seriously, maybe get some bass involved.

I play in a number of bands. All incorporating the word Stealth in their names.
I play in a band called The Otters
We're playing a William Blake tribute gig at The Ivy House in Nunhead on Sunday 25 November. Come along!
Gossamer Albatross
is very good stuff!
I thought you were also in Giovannie Ribisi?
Certainly there are two bands you claimed to be in on that mixCD you gave me and only one band has 'stealth' in the title.
they dead
and that was a song title
the band were called something to do with a ruptured apex
Ah I was reading quickly.
Clip the Apex was the band then. Still no Stealth in it.
...
Yeah, it was a lie. I don't actually play in any bands.

Hell Alan!
What do you play? I met your drummer a while ago I think...do you know Mr Speedranch?
Bass....
Fairly badly. James left earlier this year so I've taken over.
I have never met Mr Speedranch although he sounds like a lovely chap.
youre in a really really really great band
and a fairly not so great one???
^^
stupid comment
what i meant was "i find it surprising that you're in both of those bands, as i love one and dont like the other"
no offence taken
As long as you love DIG, that's the one I write the songs for!
I've only fairly recently joined JT, haven't had a chance to totally mess up their song structures and dramatically reduce the overall level of musicianship yet.... Give me a chance dude.
:O
wicked, i really like JT, and if you do get a chance to mash up their structures, i actually will love them
and yeah DIG are alright.... ;)

Hi
I play in a band called The Others. We got on the front of the NME once. I do this to support my crack habit.
Sadly, the above is not true.
I sing in a band called 'The Firm' instead. We also run a shoegaze/postpunk night called The Vapour Trail. It's on Wednesday if you can be arsed. Here's the Myspazzes:

I'm Andrew
I play drums in the violets.
'not cool'- NME.
'none-to-shabby'-Theo
Well that's what I said when I happened to catch you at Buffalo Bar by chance and reviewed it:
"First up are The Violets, a three piece consisting of a cocaine-thin, leggy, bleach-blonde singer, a guitarist and none-too-shabby drummer, and it's inevitably very much in the NYC art punk area of sound. She can really sing and does a good performance though early on the band seem very nervous and the opening few tracks are a bit lifeless. With a track called 'Hiero', however, things pick up and we get some nice hooks coming through, while the band seem to loosen up and get into their sound, banging through four of five more tracks and finishing on blinder. They seem to have a good fanbase and I end up chatting briefly to a couple of fans who've made the trip up from Brighton to see them."

http://www.drownedinsound.com/bands/9068
we were recording our new e.p. yesterday at randomcolours studio, it's sounding ridiculously loud and heavy (am deaf and hoarse today!) and should be out early next year realistically, once we've run the whole thing through the glitch vst's twice :D
Hello!
My name's Jon and I'm in Penny Blacks: www.myspace.com/pennyblacks
My mate put us on in London earlier this year and advertised us as 'the least bad band in Scotland' and he lives in New Cross, so he must be right.
Hi me reece
me in a few bands that have never doned anything much, including the latest project which isn't yet off the emailing nick stage with a name which may or may not be something to do with spare ribs!! :D
barely a DiSer really...
but playing guitar in Owen Tromans live band
http://www.myspace.com/owentromans
and bimble out some homemade stuff here too
http://www.myspace.com/dannygeemusic
Ribs are the future
innit blud.
BTW I have a shortage of guitar leads, I keep breaking them. We may have to use string.
i have 2 spare sets of strings
but i too cannot look after my leads.
i also get an annoying crunchying interfeerance when i do a volume swell on the guitar, so you may have to do those bits.
Using my techgeek skillz
I can probably fix the guitar.
I don't think I can do volume swells. :-( I think my thang is seeing how far I can bend strings before they snap.
oh well if you can fix it then it will work!!!
i think we should base a song on the art of bending all twelve of our collective strings beyond the yield point!
Hello, im Tiernan
