1st rehearsal - fun!

 

[Drago]

Aye, we had our 2nd yesterday and it was super smashing lovely.

First gig booked for July. Its in Roade, the next village along, so only 2 miles to hump all my gear.

I'm looking at a nice Orange bass combo for live work,

 

[Drago]

Orange Crush 100 bass combo ordered. Ka-boom!

What does the playlist for the new band look like @Drago ?

 

[Drago]

A mix of rock and indie. Stuff like...

Sunshine of your love.
Don't look back in anger.
Whiskey jn the jar.
Weezer's buddy Holly.
Learn to fly by the Foos.
Smell like teen spirit.
Good riddance.
Stand by me.
That sort of thing.

Im a rock man myself, but we gotta play what drunk punters will listen to so i tolerate the the more poppy indie stuff.

Do you like bass?
Do you like The Beatles?

Ive been using the Hofner shorty a lot of late. Its nice and easy to lug about the rehearsals, although ill stick to the precision for live playing.

Were rehearsing again on Turdsday.

"Were" last Turdsday, or "we're" next Turdsday?

 

[Drago]

Hang on... That was a sneaky test, wasn't it?

I was halfway up a testing ramp on my singlespeed bike this evening when it suddenly struck me - The Mighty Drago doesn't do tech-sheep smartphones! Drago, he use 17 year old Nokia dumbphone, unfazed by its deeply scratched screen, worn-blank button tops, and 2 hour 17 minutes clapped-out battery life!

Ah ha! Thought you had me! My main internet access is anp Samsung tablet, all ruggesdised and waterproof for a ruffty sort like me. wiffy at home, 4G when away I thinkmits an Active Tab 2, and can actually be used as a phone but I never do.

Last night we had 3 hours booked at a studio in Northampton. Arrived to find the the owner is a copper I know who'd retired a few years before me. This got us tea and biscuits, which was nice.
