Son's band has been hiding its light under a bushel

[vernon]

My son has played in a band for four or five years and have gradually improved. I used to be very familiar with their work as they used a spare bedroom in our house to rehearse and they played quite a few local gigs. After a bit of turbulence with drummers - they are on their third and moving elsewhere to regroup and refine their work, they are going to hit the road again and have got some sort of backing to press a decent CD.

Son has been rather coy and will only point me at an online tease. I think it's pretty good...

Brilliant, Vern. Enhanced by the fact that he has 'his Dad's flowing locks'.
Put me down for a copy please.
10/10 for The Treason Kings...albeit 'drummer and drummer'

Good stuff Vern.
Reminded me of The Answer.

 

[Noodley]

That's very good vernon

I'm sure my approval will stand them well.

Impressive stuff, you'll have to see if you can get them to cover some of THESE

Neighbours must have been pleased when the band stopped using your spare room Vern....

It's also very easy to understand why Vernon makes a dash for the Pies and booze at the earliest opportunity...

Great list. I have more than half of the tracks on vinyl.

There had been one or two polite 'observations' made by neighbours. We only heard a practice or two a week. The neighbours heard four or five....

Sounds good! Nice to hear some decently rowdy bands getting some exposure instead of all this 'folk with nits who eat lentil soup with their sleeves rolled up' as Liam Gallagher recently said

Never seen the words Noel Gallagher and Culture so near each other.

Never seen the words Noel Gallagher and Culture so near each other.

What's even more surprising is that it was Liam not Noel who came up with that line, Noel is genuinely funny. Sometimes.

Nice to see proper bands still upsetting neighbours and not singing/miming to backing tapes.
Best o' luck to em.
All round to vernon's at 10pm to chuck tellies out of the windows folks?
Will keep an ear out for them on the circuit.
