Now that I finally got Tulpa's cd a few days ago, I can also say there's some 80's Lou Reed meeting the Feelies meeting the Smashing Pumpkins vibe in it and I really like it a lot (and I'm more into jazz and classical music these days), it's so refreshing and making me feel young again. 😱🤪😉😂

 

Congratulations to your kids @Kirky.

Thanks @Hellzero for your kind words.   Glad you're enjoying it.

New video by my young'uns band. 

Another single coming in a couple weeks and loads of gigs booked.

That's very enjoyable Steve. Something of the early Pretenders vibe about them.

Thanks. I think this song is mostly influenced by My Chemical Romance,  Ash and Jimmy Eat World. It doesn't really show up in this song but their biggest influence by far is Muse. Im sure they've listened to Pretenders as well. They have quite a broad range of musical tastes between them from classical and jazz to Queen and Muse to progressive death metal.

Very wide influences for young folk there 

 

I was in Lidl and sometimes talk to the young lad on the till. Pleasant young man (for a guitard) so obviously I have to speak more slowly and not use big words. he’s a bright guitard because he can actually use a till. 

He says he’s joined a band doing 80s funk. Seriously his mum must have been a toddler when that stuff first came out 

 

I did resist the urge to ask if his guitar was any good for metal.

Young musicians seem to quite commonly have an interest in music from long before they were born. 80's funk an disco is making a comeback and 90's grunge, shoegaze and electronica are huge. Nu metal is making a comeback as well but hopefully that won't last.

I've just taken delivery of this mini 23" scale Harley Benton for my daughter's 4th birthday next month! Hoping to be the proud dad of a bassist!

 

She has wanted a bass of her own for a fair old while now and prefers when I play my basses over my guitars. Just need to tidy the fret ends before we wrap it up as they've sprouted. She's also said that she wants her second bass to be black. I've taught her well already 😂 And it just so happens that I've got a black Squier Jaguar SS stashed away for her too.
