Members zachoff Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 {censored} yeah, stoked! I've always said I don't like playing in cover bands, but The Descendents, and particularly Karl Alvarez, is one of my favorites ever. I'm fairly busy, but I'm hoping the schedule can work out!
Members FreestyleIntruder Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 Sweet!! I'm jealous. You'll need a Fenfer P, and you'll have to develop a caffeine addiction. 'Myage' is about the most fun bassline to play, ever

I don't really have the $$ for a new bass right now.
Members Jugghaid Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 I know a punk/thrash band that may be looking too bro. Originals.
Members zachoff Posted September 6, 2007 Author Members Posted September 6, 2007 I know a punk/thrash band that may be looking too bro. Originals. Where at? I'm pretty much locked into rehearsals on Tuesdays... Kind of my sticking point right now. Sucks. Between kids, work, hockey, and my g/f things are tight these days.
Members lokidecat Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 If you can pull off covering KA, i'll have a new deep respect for you. He's one of my idols.

Between kids, work, hockey, and my g/f things are tight these days. My house. One of my buddies (he's about your age) and my kid (who's 22) have a ptrry decent band going and they are haing issues with their bass player. They rehearse saturday afternoons.
Members skatalite Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 Mmmm Descendents. I grew up on them and it was great when my band recorded with Stephen Egerton here in Oklahoma. He even did some backup vocals and guitar on a couple songs. Almost put me to tears!
Members Hearafter Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 Awesome! Descendents are definitely in my top 5 all-time favs. I wrote a song that totally rips off "This Place" and "I'm the One" at the same time (we're actually recording it on saturday... it will be up on our myspace soon) Good luck with the new band, sounds fun as hell!!
Members Mudbass Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 You heard back from the descendents of a cover band needing a bass player? Jesus, how long have they been looking?
Members Apendecto Posted September 6, 2007 Members Posted September 6, 2007 Nice. The Descendents are great! Yo.
Members zachoff Posted September 6, 2007 Author Members Posted September 6, 2007 If you can pull off covering KA, i'll have a new deep respect for you. He's one of my idols. Mine too. We'll see how it goes!

Members zachoff Posted September 8, 2007 Author Members Posted September 8, 2007 Headed to the bar with them on Tuesday! We'll see how the personalities go and if it's a go then weekly Tuesday rehearsals it is! So stoked on this.
