If this is gonig to be a find-me-a-band thread then I'm in.
If anyone's up for a spot of melancholy neo-folk/sea shanty type stuff in the Stoke Newington area, let me know. I'm currently playing these very quiet, very gentle Iron and Wine/Bonnie Prince Billy sort of songs on my own but I want to push it out to being less singer songwritery and more almost progressive, lots of interplay between instruments, less lyrics, more atmosphere, but still totally live instruments. Noise me up kids.
this sounds intriguing. i got together with blackspring (see previous page) a couple of weeks back and we stumbled though a few neutral milk hotel, joanna newsom and and nick cave covers amongst other things. we're about to start trying to work on some original stuff by correspondence at the moment but are both quite busy. i wonder if she'd be up for adding another element to our little project? it's very early days but what you describe doesn't sound a million miles from what certainly i and quite possibly we'd like to get into...? just a thought.
i still want to do a lfgss party band too.

Flicking through a stack of old magazines, and whose face do I see?
It's only Snowy in The Face in 2002!
(with a dog as big as himself)So what was the band?
-
Bloody hell Ollie, do keep up
Given that I'm no longer in a band, and OnOne has done more to focus attention on himself than I've ever seen anyone do on here, I feel safe in posting up an old video. Besides, I've just seen teenslain lick the neck of his Les Paul, so dancing around like a twunt in a boiling hot room pales into insignificance:

(with a dog as big as himself)Haha, where are they now?
Actually Sarah's touring the States as part of Wet Dog. That was just prior to the4 ICA Jubilee Sean McClusky gig. And that dog was massive!

Bloody hell i'm slow off the mark. I went to university with Sarah! I doubt she'll remember me (Philosophy at North London wasn't exactly the most sociable course in the world, most people just kept to themselves). Years later I read about Wet Dog in Plan B Magazine and came across them a few times at places like The Pleasure Unit in Bethnal Green. They're great!

Good luck tonight dooks. I would be there but will catch up to play music once the exhibition is up at the Lido. Lorraine Kelly is filming on Monday morning and 'Good Morning' have specified that they won't let me put my art in the windows which throws a spanner in with the mount. ARGGH!
Help!

My band: Bogus Gasman http://www.myspace.com/bogusgasman
We played on the roof of some squat in Crackney last night, last ones on. Seemed to go down pretty well, the place also had bikes locked up everywhere, wondered if any folks of here saw us.
-
Yup. I think there should be a mega Jam with all lfgss instrumentalismists.
I cannot attend. but would love to watch.I play the bass guitar. and the regular guitar to.
sometimes a bit of trumpet -
New years day hangover prompts me to post here as an effort to cast my net wide.
Anyone here play clarinet to a reasonable standard? :
Nice tone, capable of holding some very prolonged notes, the odd gliss' and playing very quietly.I'm looking for a clarinetist to work on some slow and relatively sparse music, I suppose in a post-rock, post classical (??) vibe.
PM for proper details
-
romantic....
as in romantic period? If so no. Totally contemporary, but I dislike using the term contemporary classical as it comes loaded with certain baggage.
As a reference the group Cloggs may be appropriate to what I want for this project.
In an interview x amount of years ago they referred to what they do as post-classical.Do you play by any chance?
