I reluctantly joined a party band back in March this year. My playing background prior to this was heavier rock/pop rock... And then a stint in a DMB/Rusted Root/Phish-type cover thing. A jam band. I was NOT the disco type, and was adamant...
Now that I'm settled, I LOVE it. The grooves are kick-ass. I swear I'm turning blacker by the day. I got the rhythm!!!!
Seriously though, the songs may be cheesy, but they've got some of the finest bass lines of all time! I'm a convert.
Just as a player, I'd suggest to everyone to learn some disco stuff. Diversity is a godsend, TB'ers!!!!
