A trombonist from a great signed punk band agreed to track some trombone for our next EP after we opened for them last week. So we sent them some bounces and I trekked over there with my mobile recording rig to put him on the EP. And got the weirdest compliment:
Of our most recent material, he said 'It's like Muse playing reggae'. Then when he saw my face he quickly added 'I mean in a good way!'.
=D
I meant to credit the Talkbass FX forum but I was a little bit busy trying not to be sick.  |

I was a bit stoked tbh, I was just glad none of the rest of the band heard him because they would've fired me.
He also congratulated me on including an Ab dim chord in a punk song (which I had to teach our guitar player how to play) which again I was glad nobody was around to hear. Great musician anyway and we got some excellent trombone takes out of him.  |

In my opinion, both are appropriate words to use to describe good music. Even together. Bravo! |

The next EP sounds quite dub mostly, and there's a post-punk 'Ruts' style tune on there, and another with a ska beat and an Ennio Morricone-style breakdown in the middle with a mute trumpet funeral procession going on, and a live acoustic track that sounds a bit like a '60s rocksteady group, god knows when we'll finish it though... |

| | | | One of the best bands I got to see included a trombone and ahh................welll......................errr thats it a trombone and a singer. They were awesome and rocked like you wouldn't believe. The singer was a huge black lady and a little skinny white dude on trombone. You had to be there to experience that. I want a trombone in my band. |

Of course trombone is punk, but punk after they learned how to actually play their instruments. You don't want a lousy trombonist, and most people these days don't know how great trombone can be. Manglesdorff/Pastorius/Mouzon anybody? |
