Who wants to start a band in Manchester (with me)?
(copied a bit from the introduce yrself thread)
I just bought a drum machine and want to start a cool allgirl pop band. I have and can play a bit: guitar, bass, drum machine lol like i just said ha, violin, keybaord, vocals. Join in. I don't mind if some boys want to join anyway. They would be welcome. But I just find it easier to envisage myself playing with three or so other girls. I think I just want to meet more cool friends who are girls.
Bands I think we should continue in the spirit of: Guided By Voices, Tiger Trap, the Shaggs, the Shrieking Violets, Ariel Pink, the Waitresses, any sort of hip lofi indiepop TNV bands, the Fall (getting a bit broad now, but you get the idea...). I wish I could say will be the next Dinosaur Jr but as you may have gathered it will be conviently amateurish but really good pop music.
Image would be important. Like, we would do lots of colouring in and make sure our outfits match and amazing merchandise and tshirts that we designed.
We could be called Herr Baby. It means Mr Baby.

Don't we all.
stop joking and join my band
Tee
hee
no scruples whatsoever you
Ask Bizzy for violin.
I'll play triangle and cow bells if you're really struggling. I'll probably not be much cop though.
(I meant I play violin as well)
but yeah I forgotted Lizzy (and Rachel, do you know her?) are coming back this year. Will ask around.
Definitionofself is always looking to do band stuff.
He's also got LOADS of instruments, including a drum kit that he NEVER uses. He also drives, has his own car and doesn't drink. If you're going to have a fella in your band, that's the kind of fella you need.
That's a great picture of Johnny Cash down there vvvvv
If I were in Manchester
I'd totally be in
What drum machine have you got?
an alesis sr 18
cute
try and find a boss HC-2 and/or a boss PC-2 2nd hand - I think they'd suit you
will look out for them in between finding some people to be in Herr Baby
forgot to mention I have a glockenspeil. Aw man so excited now.
i would quite like to
i live in blackpool, but alas am a boy. been bouncing around ideas similar to what you described but only on my own.
i've got a few mics and a recording desk as well which could be of help.
depends if you're set on it being an all girl group though.x
i would quite like to
i live in blackpool which is a little train ride away, but alas i am a boy. been writing stuff similar to what you;ve described as well.
got a little recording desk to if that's any help. just depends if you want an all girl group or not?x
two replies because i didn't think my first one had worked. sorry,.
that's ok
but yeah I was being a bit silly thinking I would be able to find 4 girls who live near me and actually want to be in a band with me. I'll PM when I get another couple people. Yay.
ok. if you want i could send
you some things i've got recorded to see if it's the kind of stuff you're after?
yeah that would be good
is there any chance of an email address to send them to?
if that's ok.
me i'm a girl and i play the piano, have a keyboard at uni
and play the clarinet...probably little use and the sax a bit and also i live in manchester.
I'd be up for this
if I wasn't leaving Manchester next month.
Annoying!
I'll join if you want the songs to sound dated and a bit like Oasis demos circa 1993
just what the world needs.
another lo fi indie band.
