BIG.J Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Well! Today was the day all band members joined together for the first time? I must admit we were all blown away by the sound! Note for note perfection just lacking Keys as the Keys Player dropped out last minute. All my effects sounded great, Even the Cosmic Lawnmower was spot on! We went through = SQUANK FLY ON A WINDSHIELD IN THE CAGE AFTERGLOW SUPPERS READY = INTO = I KNOW WHAT I LIKE & DANCE ON A VOLCANO. Hopefully this is the start of another great NORTH WEST BASED TRIBUTE!!! Thanks for all your input on my original "WHAT HAVE I LET MYSELF IN FOR" post! Cheers Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a few synth sounds and it sounds great, Once we have Keys it will be fantastic? Strainge realy, you can practicaly hear evey note from the keys without it even being there? Had to De-Tune to get a lovely deep drone in SQUANK! Realy need someone on keys ASAP! Cheers Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all goes well and things move in the right direction i may have to look at the Moog Taurus! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I'm extremely envious. My all time favourite band and a project I'd just love to do, but just can't find any musicians around here to do it. The closest I've ever got was doing Watcher of the skies in a proggy trib band I was in. Nice to see you're doing the proper old stuff before Genesis went all pop Edited April 5, 2009 by AndyMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drummer contacted me having played in a three piece with him a while back, He almost landed a position with the Liverpool based CARPET CRAWLERS a while back but there drummer decided to stick with them! He is a true fan, not to mention a cracking drummer, I myself hadn't even heard all the Peter Gabriel stuff so i had my work cut out! We will be playing numbers up until late 70's maybe even 1981?
