[quote name='Rasta' post='491084' date='May 18 2009, 08:07 AM']Great tune, i used to play this in a funk band and used to use an envelope filter or sometimes synth effect on the bass (even both at times)...was a really funky take on the tune in a Bootsy esq kind of way![/quote] Its a great tune, really gets going, just a shame the 'camera man' stopped where he did...

Hi there Dom.. Mal

If you find that you get a gig in for a date that a member of the band is not available.. always say 'we are not available that day as we have a booking' don't let on that somebody is not available... it then sounds like you have lots of gigs, and are fitting them in.. or you could say 'we have a private gig that day' Mal

We played for the first time with our new band "Deep Fried Bananas" in a rather small venue "The Cove Inn" on Portland in Dorset on Saturday 11th, and it was my first gig as a bassist.. We got there nice and early, we were booked to play from 2100 - 2300, so at 1800 we started to get the gear in and up as much as we could around the tables full of eaters... but of course couldn't really put up the PA.. anyway to cut a long story a bit short, after consultation with d management, we started at 2130... the band were a bit concerned with not having enough material for the gig.... our first set finished at 2300..... at we cut out a couple and no there was no massive gaps between songs.... we managed a small break for a pee and full up then went on till just before midnight.... the place was full and stayed that way till we finished and just in time for last orders... we even got one of the punters give us a tenner for drinks... yep we have now got another couple of gigs there, one in another venue and a couple of interested punters for private gigs... enjoyed it too.... good to be back gigging again.. Mal

Thanks again... Mal

Thanks I will keep an eye out for him.. Mal
