Thanks all, you are great!

Righty, it went well. They were impressed about how well I managed to stay tight and in focus on all the breaks. The cab there was a 1960 Marshall so I was lucky, it sounded smashing. They play very well and their compositions are quite demanding. I even had the shivers sometimes because it was such a fat sound.

So, final decision is not officially taken as they have to discuss etc, but the other guitarist already said how impressed they are, that it was like I would have played with them since a long time and I should be prepared to do more songs for next week and they have 3 smaller/medium festivals booked this summer so I better get to work :O)

Here is their MySpace site, they also have some vids: http://www.myspace.com/freelaunchband

One can argue about if it's real to the bone brootalz etc, but I really enjoyed playing with them. Their drummer slays and they play together so well and tight, the sound in the room was PHAT and it was so much fun to be part of it!

So let's see when I get final confirmation, but I'd say I have the job 90%

Their Myspace sounds good. They've obviously got a good thing going.

Hope you get in !

Nice one, I like the sound of the band :) Kinda reminds me of an english speaking rammstein but not quite as heavy.

Well done! You should have a whale of a time playing festivals this summer!

One question though, will you need to get one of those pictures made up now of your torso on a stick? :D

Congrats,

Roo

Thanks Roo, I'll surely enjoy myself chugging away tuned to drop D, with the Ueberschall model on the Axe and KT77s in my VHT2502 - huge sound :O)

With the torso thing, not sure, hope they don't use the real body though  :lol:

Good stuff Hunter! I really want to get back into playing in a band again but either don't have the time or can't find anything I like enough in the Basingstoke/Hampshire area!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Nice one Hunter :D

Only just seen this (and I'm at work, so can't look at the myspace stuff), congrats and have fun!
