OK, time to post your dream bill for a 3-band gig. One caveat: You can not post your own act as a part of it. Once again, I shall lead by example:

Brittany/the yeti
NONA/BassAgent
Sabra/JdoubleH

Having posted this, I must say that it was refreshing to play a gig without singerbabe, earlier, this week. It was just guitard and myself, at our favorite wine bar, and we let our hair down, trying some new things on the fly (with my quickly written chord chart cheat-sheets), and no tempo tantrums, song-ending giggle-fests, or any other symptoms of diva disease manifesting themselves. Call me sexist, if you will, but there is a grain of truth to Gene Simmons' famous ruminations about rock & roll being a man's game.

This coming Tuesday will see us playing a special tasting at this wine bar, which has already posted a YouTube vid to advertise it. With the free wi-fi, and drummerman's new awesome video recording device, I am thinking live netcast, via Veetle. Approximate start time would be 6pm PDT (GMT-8), on Tuesday, May 8th, via my channel, TeleVastnir, if I can make it happen.

I'll see what I can do about some linkage, and perhaps some more photographic evidence of her crimes of distraction.
Being on stage with her, how do you manage to even play your bass?

It would be easy to stay up all night; I would not have enough loose skin left on my body to close my eyes...

It's what you make of it. I just dial in on the task that I am supposed to accomplish, when we are playing. I can take enjoyment later, when listening to the recordings. The real fun is what does not come over the mains (too loudly, that is), like this exchange, from last weekend:

Violinist: I don't like sausage (telling friend about pizza order).
Me: That's NOT what you told me!

Her face turned as red as a beet for a second. We won't be playing "Something to Talk About," for the near future.


BTW, those proposing a BassAgent/Yeti ticket for POTUS should remember that BA is not eligible...but I am.

Update on our regular and sometime singers - from last weekend.

EDIT
They are friends of mine, and the younger woman is, well, young, and trying out new looks, so I am removing the picture to avoid further criticism.

That woman on the right is quite the looker, but she should consider letting her eyebrows grow in.

She kinda reminds me of the "V" Vendetta mask..

Clearly, she is skilled with whatever utensil women use to draw their eyebrows with, but Im just more a fan of the natural look.

And you would be referring to the Guy Fawkes mask.

Not the Wilford Brimley look, but yeah. More natural is preferable.

There is a singerbabe #4 on the horizon! Tonight, #1 (karaoke hostess, pictured below) is covering for #3 (the violinist), due to the last-minute nature of the booking. We will play a full band show with the violinist, Saturday night, and Sunday will be the debut of #4 ("Red" in the CAS thread pix c. 4/20).




Meanwhile, this, and two others appeared on YouTube, today:
