Our track is quite sweary. There is another tourette timmy which is quite sweary but we have other tunes that are sweet and innocent tho they aren't on our myspace.

[quote name='Rimskidog' post='778070' date='Mar 17 2010, 10:22 PM']My new year's resolution this year was to give a bit back. As a result I decided that during the course of the year I'd take on 4 unsigned bands that I thought had some great material but not the savvy and try and help them get a deal, first by recording/mixing and producing them myself during downtime and second by shopping them around some of my contacts. The first band I did is called "The Low Orders". We had their debut EP mastered at Abbey Road yesterday. Here's a link to their page: www.myspace.com/theloworders (I did the first three songs listed ie not Mardy Wife). Let me know what you think! Trev[/quote] Er! not to be an arsehole, It's just generic indie that's been done a million times by a million bands. Its sounds like 1996 meets the arctic monkeys. i think that ship has sailed. it's not very tight either. Living in Manchester i hear this kind of band everyday. production is quite good tho. But there is a thing on your topic that says you can't polish a turd!

Don't expect many to like this! This band was formed by a group of musicians who regularly played clubs in different bands doing original material. We all thought the state of mainstream pop music was a joke and we also found the club scene a joke. All the bands taking themselves too seriously and many putting style over substance. so we decided to lampoon this with a side project where we all wore ridiculous outfits and wrote ridiculous tunes with ridiculous subject matter. This is the only one we have a video for. If you do like it you can check out other tunes at Myspace/bandofgold08. Opinions will be good even if you think its terrible, Cos we don't take it seriously but bizarrely we are starting to get a following!

Classic groove from the Classic Band

What do people get out of this act of belittlement? [/quote] Semi's

[quote name='Golchen' post='775597' date='Mar 15 2010, 07:47 PM']Greetings and welcome! You certainly sound like you know what you are doing. Glad to have you on board.[/quote] just watched some of ya stuff. Jack of all trades! Impressive. Particularly liked chapman stick stuff. In the process of getting some of my own stuff sorted. But its a little wierd and some stuff ridiculous. Ain't got a vid camera cos its broke so will just be tunes. Good work keep it up!

it's Terry Bozzio on drums and T M Stevens on Bass! they are double tight but it flows. when they smassh the polyrhythms together as they leave sections and behind the solo. stil gives me a buzz and i've been listening to it over 15 yrs. not constantly obviously!

Here's one! A bit different and quite heavy. Not a funky groove but a groove nevertheless. in terms of drums and bass playing everything together this is a fine example. they hit nearly everything and there is loads of poly rhythms. However tunes is very cheesy rock. So apologies on that level. but the drummer is my favourite. i would rip my pink torpedo off to jam with him! is that a bit extreme! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWCemMy6gpw

Me too geezer! However the main thing that hooks me on a groove is how filthy it is. The filthier the better!

I kind of get wound up about the "Groove" thing. Nowadays i think its just a by-word for funky. Anything can have groove without it being funky. Even sections of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring have good grooves. i think through naivety (tho this doesn't obviously apply to everyone) mid tempo funk/jazz gets described as having a good groove. Though good groove can be at any tempo or genre for example Kashmir by Zep has a fat groove even tho its straighter than straight. Also some really quick stuff like The One or Outta love by Van Halen has a great groove. i ain't just a bitter rocker cos i love funk, jazz and fusion but thats just so obvious to mention. However my example is a James Brown track at a high tempo. Can't get enough of it at the moment and it as a bad donkey groove! It's Let me looose i'm Dr. Feelgood. unfortunately i can't upload my copy so i've included a youtube link. but it has a picture of semi naked men for some reason, tho its the original track jimmy b

How do! Just joined up. Read about it on youtube! Thought it sounded interesting! I've played bass for 16-17yrs. Incessantly for about 12 then last couple of years not touched it much due to gigs drumming or singer. However, recently got a bass gig sessioning for theatre company and joined a covers band, so i'm back to spanking the old plank. My powers have waned a little but i shall practice to return to former glories. Ain't that interested in gear, got a yamaha 5 string and a Jackson 4 string and play with an old 80's marshall thru 90's Peaveys two tens and a 15. No effects. Thats as far as my interest goes but will be purchasing a fretless at some point. Studied jazz and contemporary classical music, but i'm a rocker at heart. I am quite opionated as far as music is concerned and will say what i think. Come on here to chat about musicology and ideology behind bass playing. Cheers looking forward to this forum.
