[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1378546001' post='2201603'] I play mainly for fun and for free in what was a trio and is now a 4 piece, which has given us a really good sound. The transition from 3 to 4 band members is more difficult than I imagined. All of a sudden it is harder to find a time when we can all practice and get together and play. That in means we want a decent amount of stage time when we meet up and larger gigs. This means need to spend money on gear and promotion. My point is that the larger the band the more dificult it is to ignore the money element. If we can get the balance right it will have fun and make money but its not an easy path to tread! [/quote] Spare a thought for me trying to herd the members of our 10-piece band who aer all in another 2 or bands each!

Welcome! What's your band called and are you in Cardiff soon?

INCREDIBLE groove on this. Finding it tricky to nail - it's like bass jelly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG3TxD-EU6I

Ooo 4 strings and I'd be all over this!

My brother's girlfriend ran off with the guitarist.

[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Just got back from playing a dep gig at Boomtown - amazing festival![/font][/size] [size=4]Played on the Friday at about 10pm and the tent was packed from about 2 songs in.[/size] [size=4]About 1500-2000 people, easily the biggest gig I've done. On-stage sound was a bit dodgy and the[/size] [size=4]over-exuberant singer [/size][size=4]kept backing me into the smoke machine (not much room with 13 on stage!)[/size] [size=4]but it was amazing fun.[/size] [size=4]We then got invited to play a tequila bar the next night at 5am! This was a tiiiiiiny place and we were killing it but 3[/size][size=4] songs in security pulled the [/size] power as the music license stopped at 4am. Undeterred we just did the rest of the set barber shop style with everyone just singing their instrument's parts - went down a storm! Utterly utterly ruined now though. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1374740385' post='2152534'] I see Molotov Jukebox are at Camp Bestival, saw them at the Larmer Tree last week - very good band with a very good bass player. [/quote] My GF did their facepaints at Larmer Tree!

Checked them out - great basslines and playing! Would like to see them with a singist too...

Mmmm nice string spacing!
