My Band - The Take Home Treats - General

Well my band just had its first show last night and I would like to know your opinions on what we need to improve on [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIVB5eLTKhw&feature=channel[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdigRFZ0BHc&feature=channel[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvdhwuUNsF4&feature=channel[/media]

It's not bad. Pretty good actually. Reminds me of Husker Du's later stuff, plus an oboe/sax/whatever that is. [editline]09:29PM[/editline] Oh you change around the instruments around every now and then. Cool.

[QUOTE=pie_is_good;21825156]It's not bad. Pretty good actually. Reminds me of Husker Du's later stuff, plus an oboe/sax/whatever that is.[/QUOTE] its a soprano sax and a tenor sax in the rest of the songs

ahahaha you guys played at a school for the deaf

im going to be honest with you, you guys look like some kids with some talent but you guys have to work harder with keeping on beat, i understand its hard to with so many instruments but!..... your drummer sounds like a tard playing 1+2+3+4 the whole song, he should be able to work around that box.

What do you play in the band?

[QUOTE=MirageKnight;21828180]What do you play in the band?[/QUOTE] I am the guitarist

Very good, keep on walking! Video 2, 0:14 :D

School for the deaf..

[QUOTE=Mobon1;21835218]School for the deaf..[/QUOTE] Yea, I know, its funny, but it has a really good stage and we can make it as loud as we want and nobody will care.

Maybe this is not that important, but I think it is very unprofessional to wear a bandshirt if you play a live gig with a band . The drummer wears a Ramones shirt. I'm in a band myself, and we only play wearing plain shirts, or shirts with the name of our band. For the rest, the music and the way you perform are pretty decent.

And wearing the logo of your own band is not that professional, to be honest.

It's kind of weird that you are playing in a school for the deaf. It kinda ruins the whole purpose, you know.. For the sound, It's okay, but I do not like those blowing instruments, they seem a bit out of place. That's just my opinion.

Really like the stuff.

I don't get it why are the deaf kids dancing?

[QUOTE=Marlowe;21872222]I don't get it why are the deaf kids dancing?[/QUOTE] They aren't deaf, it was just at the deaf school.

Hello, I'm Dan McLark! [editline]09:26PM[/editline] That girls hot.

lol @ whoeever said wearing band shirts while you're playing is stupid i used to wear band shirts all the time when i played...

I quite like this, do you have like a Myspace or something so I can listen to your stuff?

Wearing another band's t-shirt says "I support this band, they inspired me, they're real cool and I think you lot should support them too" Wearing your own band's t-shirt is like saying "hey we're great look at us everyone aren't we just great!?", and that annoys people because people like bands that are humble. Oh yeah and cool music btw OP, keep it up.

Everyone is great stage presence wise but maybe a little more from the bassist. And in general just practice being together and everything. Overall I like it. You guys should do a Reel Big Fish cover. Not exactly the same sound you guys have going but I think it would be pretty cool.

[QUOTE=Ian D;21892544]Or maybe you made the shirt yourself and you're proud of it.[/QUOTE] Normally bands hire professional graphic artists to do their shirts. Otherwise, your shirt [i]probably[/i] looks something like this: [img]http://t-shirts.clovertees.com/image/10295.300.shirt.jpg[/img]
