Question What To Do?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone!

Well Basically:

I've Been In My Most Recent Band For About A Year Now. And I Can Admit, We Really Aren't That Great. I Try To Keep Everyone Motivated, Writing Songs, Riffs But They Don't Seem To Be Interested!

So Anyway, We Put Up An Add In Our Local Guitar Centre For A New Singer (Our Old One Left :P) I Was Suprised To See That About 85% Of The Adds Were For Bass Players.
So After Making Some Calls And Going To Auditions, 2 Bands Said They'd Happily Want Me To Join/Fill In For Their Bands, Both With Paying Gigs Booked!

Now, In The Band I'm In, We're All Close Friends, Who All Attend The same School :P (we're 14)

So My Problem Is, Should I:

A) Take The Gigs But Stay With The Current Band.
B) Move On From The Recent Band And Find Another.

I Want To Leave, But It Would Be Very Awkward Whenever I See Them, Which Would Be All The Time! :/

What Would You Guys Do?

Btw, sorry This Is A Long Post, I Just Really Need The Help!

Personally I'd probably gauge whether or not I could handle taking on both projects, since one is made up of friends, and one will get you paid. You're 14 and can use any experience you can get. Try being in two bands. If that's too much for you, quit the cr*ppy band and play with the guys that'll pay you.
