my god it was such a memorable, heart-warming experience to hear lyrics that i wrote coming out of the mouths of people i'd never known before. makes me feel like everything i've put into writing songs and playing in a band is worth it.
i had a crazy lot of fun! |

| | | | It is a great feeling. That happened at one of my band's gigs and I was like, "Woah! They know the words? Cool!" |

Because there is already a signed (and very talented) band called "Armchair Cynics" (which, FYI, is the correct expression, as opposed to 'critic').. you might have trouble keeping that name....

I cant wait until I get into a band, playing is the best feeling ever, and I've only done small High School Band gigs.

Congrats. Having people know your lyrics is a big step forward.
I mean being in Singapore and all.

| | | Sorry to bust the enthusiasm but when i listened to the video, the guitarist did not seem to be playing in time (yes i know its hard to sing and play while moving so much) and the bassist was kinda just... i duno... playing alot of notes that are not very tasteful.
Well, keep it up anyway! Its great to have people who sing your songs and i see that you guys can only become way better!
Cheers!  |

i had a crazy lot of fun! | That's FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations!!! There is nothing...NOTHING!!!...on Earth like having people sing along with songs you wrote.
When I was with my all-female band, I had a blues jump that the fans really loved, and sang along with. I do miss that, a lot. My current band won't do the song. But people like it, and still ask about it.
May you get to have this wonderful feeling many, many more times!

A few tunes are up at http://blackorchidrebellion.com as well as our myspace - http://myspace.com/theblackorchidrebellion
And you?
