Cantdosleepy Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Just thought I'd throw this into the void and see if anything hollers back. Has anybody here ever played for the band Idioverse? I'm going to meet them for a practice tomorrow evening near Waterloo station, and I just thought I'd see if their last fella was around...

SJA Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 no, but I've downloaded lots of their tracks to check out - they've advertised several times on partysounds, musofinder etc. for a bassist. interesting stuff, quite demanding with the odd-time signatures.

Cantdosleepy Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah, it's absolutely kicking my arse. I'm trying to learn three of their tunes. The time signatures as difficult to groove on, but the main problem I have is that some of the songs are pretty long and have unusual structures. To be honest, I think they're a bit good for me. They asked me, though, so I thought "What the heck? The worst thing that can happen is humiliation at the hands of talented musos". We shall see...

ngombe Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 blimey cantdosleepy, just had a listen to some of their stuff - I couldn't count any of it easily (not saying much though). I don't think their drummer is a fan of the number 4. very best of luck though - I really hope it goes well for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) they're a band i'd rather watch than be in, too much like hard work- call me lazy! you need to really enjoy playing the music to do it. good luck!

Cantdosleepy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 [url="http://www.myspace.com/idioverse"]http://www.myspace.com/idioverse[/url] [url="http://www.idioverse.net/"]http://www.idioverse.net/[/url] I've got to learn three of their songs. They're really tough. This is by far the most technical band I've ever tried out for (I'm by nature a R,5,R,5 kinda guy). The songs are long as well, and don't follow a normal structure. I spent last night preparing, and I'm feeling lot better about it this morning. I've made lots of tabs and notes in my logbook and am looking forward to making some rock'n'roll with these fellas. I got a lovely e-mail from the frontman yesterday evening saying "we’re not expecting anyone to nail it exactly now, just so long as you get the feel and enjoy it really". Cool.

Muppet Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just listened to them - I think it's fantastic! Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantdosleepy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks Mr Muppet. I even have a cab now! It's actually THIS (Wednesday) evening, Mr slaphappy. I was perhaps being a little vague. Just time to listen to their songs 2-300 more times before the session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 So how did you get on? Was the experience anything like [url="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=909"]this?[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 well, they're advertising again on partysounds and musofinder for a bassist (and cellist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasquez Rich Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) I'd rather gargle glass than be in that band! Do you think they make it as complicated and inaccessable as possible on purpose But if you like that sort of thing then GO FOR IT.

But they e-mailed me a week later to say they were going with someone else. The hunt continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
