tonybassplayer Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Due to work etc we have had very little rehearsal time recently but yesterday we had several hours together and semi nailed 5 new songs that we are going to play at tonight's gig !! It's always nice to put new material in but 5 in one go is a bit scary They are as follows Whitsnake, Here I Go Again Divynals, I Touch Myself ( looking forward to our sexy singer doing this ) Beverley Knight, Take a Piece of my Heart ( rocked up ) Hole, Celebrity Skin Wheatus, Teenage Dirtbag Wish me luck, it's going to be fun !!

gazhowe Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Putting 5 new songs in at the same gig is brave stuff. I'm never sure whether I prefer to put new stuff into the first set to get it out of the way while band members are all still fresh or leave it to the second set when maybe any mistakes will be overlooked when the punters have had more to drink. At the end of the day, our new numbers usually go in where they best fit rather than the above consideration however I hope it goes well for you whatever order you tackle them in.

harvey1-8 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I've been trying to get that Divynals song into our set for ages but our singer won't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayGarrett Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hope all went well The scariest gig I did was agreeing to stand in for MetalWorks bassist (also happens to be Zodiac Mindwarp's plank spanker) before realising I'd have to learn 25-30 tracks...................... in the space of 3.5 days (mainly evenings as I have a day job). Thankfully it was all classic rock/metal with a huge slab of AC/DC. The Black Sabbath/Ozzy and Iron Maiden sets were my fave ps - pics of the "sexy singer" would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 We do I Touch Mesen and Take Another Little Piece - we do a sort of cross between the Janis Joplin and the Beverly Knight versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yeah, we used to do the DiVinyls one when we had a girly singer. I used to enjoy playing it. Actually, we're looking at working up four, possibly five new ones for our next gig in December. Mind you, it all hinges on everybody getting their finger out and learning their bits-have to say I am not optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
