SKATE RAT

September 07, 2008, 07:51:21 PM Last Edit: September 07, 2008, 08:43:58 PM by SKATE RAT
i joined a new band 2 weeks ago.playing geeetard.i've never played guitar in a band before but i figured why not?i gave it shot 'cause i liked their songs and their name.the band is called SEXUAL SUICIDE. 3 practices and we just played at the Knitting Factory yesterday 09/06/08 opening for the Freeze (a classic early 80's punk band) so a big show,3 practices and not my main instrument.really trial by fire.glad to say i pulled it off.we sounded good and i only messed up once.i had to learn 12 new songs in 2 weeks!, 10 originals and 2 covers (Lights Out by the Angry Samoans & Noise Boys by Toxic Reasons if anybody cares)it was a blast.thats me in the blue shirt.they played one show as a 3 piece before i joined.

my other band that still doesn't have a name has been in the practice room for a year and still no progress...

Yay! Good to see you're out playing, even if it's not on bass. There's nothing like the rush of playing out in front of people and loving what you do!

yeah they've been back together since the mid 90's and they were great.though i think Cliff Hanger is the only original member.they have a female bass player and she ripped on a cool Ampeg bass.
