Members BottomHeavyKate Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Last minute of course....I just got called. All female metal band. The gutarist and drummer actually sound pretty good based off of their myspace vid (kind of rehearsal/screw around video) The singer/screamer sounds pretty good too but I'm not sure if she is still in the band. Good riffing - double bass being utilized - let's hope I'm 'metal' enough for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm dragging my old lady ass up there Bitcz, you ain't even 30 yet. You're what, 27? You're still going to feel old rollin' with 20 year olds; for some reason, there's a funky disconnect these days between early 20's and late 20's. Those kids came up on some weird pop culture {censored} that you and I didn't deal with... Anyways, who knows? They might be super laid-back and have their own damn beer.

C7 It was instant disconnect when I saw their ages on myspace. I know it's only 8 years but it throws me.

I'm still bringing my own ... because I remember the quality of beer I drank at 20 In the 8 years between when you were 20 and today, you "grew up" more than you did between the ages of 10 and 18. At least most of us did. I don't know you personally, you could be a 14 year old debutante trapped inside a 28 year old body for all I know.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted February 10, 2009 Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 Kate, how'd the audition go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BottomHeavyKate Posted February 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 It was sick....sick I tell you. They were auditioning me and a vocalist (screamer). I walk in and it's three very energetic, very girly 20 year olds. All bubbly in their low slung jeans and graphic tees....Not the 'metal' image I was expecting. So imagine my utter and complete shock when they pull out their first song.... Holy mother of GOD they were {censored}ing amazing. It was like I was listening to preppy school daughters of In Flames. Their riffing was very creative, incredibly tight, fast as f*ck all - The drummer has killer feet - her double pedal work was very very impressive. It was hysterical when they were so impressed with my ability to play with my fingers They seemed excited that I was able to pick up much of what they were doing by watching. Which I had to do because they tune to CGCF and I couldn't wrap my brain around that in real time. The singer/screamer girl was....interesting. Very very good. I loved her voice but she jumped right in to telling them what she didn't like about their music and re-writing it. Which - I do think they need to develope their arranging skills a bit. However, I didn't think the audition was the place for that. All in all - I think they're going to go with me. They're pretty laid back - none of this "We're gonna practice and play and go out and tour and get signed!!!" It was pretty laid back and I think they just want to write some more music and gig once in while. I am going to have to work on my speed though - unless I plan on switching to a pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted February 10, 2009 Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am going to have to work on my speed though - unless I plan on switching to a pick Check out the exercise Bassius suggests. Maybe that will help some. I need to start doing it too. I'm really glad to hear it went well. I heard some heavy music on Saturday. My drummer played with a couple original bands, and both were very tight and heavy. My drummer is also VERY good with the double bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
