Married, 51 years old, two kids, a full time job that's all the way in DC that's already an hour commute each way and needing to be a dad and husband on the weekends. Well and during the week to. So I'd turn that down. On the other hand if I was single and in my 20's I probably would do it. As long as I had a car that got decent MPG

Lucky me, I get to host practice at my house. And I always have drums and guitars to mess with when I'm bored at home.

Right now I'm in two bands. Practice for one of them is two streets over and the other is in my basement.

Record those rehearsals load the files on Dropbox then everybody can practice at home and show up prepared

| | | | I'm kind of new to this idea of numbers and clubs and such but sounds fun. I'm a very soon to be graduate returning to my hometown half an hour west of DC in NoVa. I'm looking to get involved with some other artists and have a generally good time jamming.

Are there any Virginia Members here? Is there a separate Virginia members club? |

We are playing at Rockafellas in Gaithersburg on Sat the 15th starting at 9pm.
It will be my first public gig in 10-15 years, but our bandleader plays acoustic shows all over the area, and we are borrowing our lead guitarist from local cover band who gigs regularly. |

|  | Fingers, pick, and a little bit of slap | | Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Maryland, between Bawlmer & DC | | I missed this... I've been away from TB for awhile. I'll be happy to shamelessly self-promote.  I'm in MD, and am now down to two bands. The websites should be in my sig, and here's the run-down:
HighTest is a power-trio-with-lead-singer, we play modern and classic hard rock: Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Alice In Chains, STP, RHCP, Nickelback, Metallica.
Too Many Daves is a "big band": eleven members including 5 piece horn section, Hammond B3 with leslies, male and female lead singer. We play mostly classic rock, blues, R&B, with a few newer tunes. Set list includes Tower of Power, Chicago, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Temptations, Delbert McClinton, Bonnie Raitt, Carlos Santana.
My gig schedule has slowed down since the Bad Weather Boyz broke up, but here's what I got (prolly more Fat Daddy gigs coming up, too):
New Year's Eve: Fat Daddy Saloon, Laurel, w/HighTest
Sat 1/12/13 – Perrys, Odenton, w/HighTest
Sat 1/26/13 – Sullys, Chantilly VA, w/Too Many Daves
Sat 3/16/13 – Perrys, Odenton, w/HighTest
Sat 3/30/13 – Sonomas, Columbia, w/HighTest
Sat 4/20/13 – Sullys, Chantilly VA, w/Too Many Daves
Sat 5/4/13 – Perrys, Odenton, w/HighTest | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
