Members Ice Monster Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 So last night my band Some Electric Life did our first gig. It was in a local pub supporting two other local bands called SloeBlack Slow Black and Dreamer. We had a good laugh, did a seven song half an hour set. No serious cockups. Only problems were that Elliot needed to be higher in the mix and I was abit loud at points, but it wasn't the most ideal setup, so I had to crank it. Elliot & Clark Myself & Joe Ell & Clark again Joe We got alot of comments. People really liked our material. A local unsigned band promoter was amazed at how young we were (15-17) and that it was our first gig, "I've seen bands play for years and not reach that level". The promoter was really pleased with us and said "We've got some more gigs coming up, charity gigs in Cardiff, so we'll definatley get you on there". We've also got another gig coming up. Hour long set + we're getting paid. Should be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ice Monster Posted August 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Something about the shot of you bass player reminded me of Adam Clayton. Hahahah! Brilliant. I'll definatley tell him that XDThanks for all your positive words guys. We're gonna be working on some new material to lead us up to our new gigs. I'd say the seven songs we've got currently are fairly solid. With two more off the EP we didn't play which we'll revisit someday. One of the guys taking photos of us said that he could that "We were loving it [playing there] by our eyes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RUExp? Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Congrats. Anywhere to listen to your music? MySpace maybe? Nevermind, I just saw it in your sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ice Monster Posted August 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah in it's my sig. However, I'd say our EP doesn't really reflect how we sound now. We recorded it about a month after we formed, now about six months down the line we are much tighter as a band, writing better songs hopefully as well.

The only thing about it is the vocals kind of sound separated from the music too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ice Monster Posted August 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hmm. Seems like Fender one's are abit more subtle. I'll let Elliot know, he's the one with the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gibson was giving me a free guitar to wear that strap i'd definitely do it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
