Manic Depression - Jimi

Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

Pick Up The Pieces - AWB

I’m going to keep that handy too if I go for a visit (I really need to move some gear on and that violet Pulse 2 keeps looking at me).

Take It Easy - The Eagles

This is more of an indictment of the hardware issued to the pick up points. That said, fair play to the actual Evri driver.

Old thread here about Rebops…

We’re there Sunday week.

Radio Africa - Latin Quarter

I was spoilt in my previous bands as they often featured the same, awesome drummer, who has been in bands since the ‘60s. Everyone else is compared to him and is normally found to be lacking. When I first started playing bass as my primary instrument, I was often struck by my inability to lock in with the drummer and assumed it was me, as I was a bass newb. The drummer in the band I was in couldn’t make a gig and so I asked my old drummer (the guy mentioned previously) from my guitar playing days to dep. From the first beat, there was that lock I had been looking for and I haven’t worried about my ability in that dept since, it either works or it doesn’t, but it’s so satisfying when it does. The difference between a good band and a great band is often a good drummer and good harmonies.

I’m often blown away by the various expertise of BC members on certain subjects, but @Bill Fitzmaurice is another level. Amazing knowledge.

Du Hast - Rammstein

Trans Europe Express - Kraftwerk

National Express - Divine Comedy

This one for me this coming Sunday afternoon.

4286 - late to the party.

The Stealer - Free

Maybe I’m being blind, but there are member numbers? Joined Sept ‘08 here, was over on TB to start with and stumbled across BC somehow.

I think I know the one you mean. That area of the UK has had a lot of gear (not the same seller IIRC) that has piqued my interest recently and only distance has kept my wallet safe.

Not that I’m aware of, but everything is relative, I guess.

We did a run through with a dep drummer for this coming Sunday’s gig. It was pretty awesome! The guy had plainly done a lot of homework and had a great feel. Police & Thieves had the most solid ‘one’ I have played to and could have happily played it for hours. Adding to that, he managed to swing Town Called Malice rather than the usual bashed out ‘four on the floor’ I have endured over the decades; another delight to play to. Given our usual drummer’s patchy availability, I’m hoping we might work with this guy some more. Prior to the rehearsal, I was feeling like packing it all in, but I’m feeling somewhat enthused now.

Hunting High And Low - Aha

Moo-ve It - Cliff
