Err, I seem to have joined a new band by osmosis!
« on: March 31, 2009, 09:41:01 AM »
Osmosis:  A gradual, often unconscious process of assimilation or absorption

I went out for a curry last night with YC/DC?, minus 'Bon'.  It turns out that 'Malcolm' and 'Phil Rudd' had been talking and apparently I've joined a new band!  :lol:

YC/DC?, minus Bon, is going to form a blues band.  We all sing, so the four of us will take turns on lead and do backing vocals.  There are a lot of blues venues in the North West so it's fairly easy to get onto the circuit.  We're looking at doing pure blues stuff like Johnny Winter or BB King, but also the slightly rockier 12-bar stuff by The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix and even something like "The Jack" by 'DC.

We're really limited to the amount of gigs we can do with Bon as YC/DC? as he's spread across a few bands, some of which he's more into musically.  We've decided we're wasting our talents at playing together so infrequently at the moment, and we fancy playing some different songs!

Could be interesting.....

blues in the north west is so good.

Citadel in St Helens, Burnley R&B festival, Colne R&B festival, Southport Jazz Festival + a tonne of venues.
even though i play and mostly listen to hardcore, those places take me back... and make me want to learn harmonica again.

Cool :)

From what I've heard it's normally hard to get into a band, I hope it works out for you!

Three in total  :o

YC/DC? (very occasionally)
Doppelganger (as often as possible, currently on the way up)
The new blues band (fairly regularly hopefully)

Sounds like a great new project Dave,  :)

It will be interesting to see where this stage of ( parallel ) musical evolution takes you.   All the best with your latest adventure .  :)

Dave - does this mean you'll need a new gigging set up for the new band? Sounds like it to me  :P
I think I hate being indecisive.
