Ill be staying near Russell square at the tavistock hotel. I'm up for anything haha. What're your top spots?

No one????

I'm going to London tomorrow for about a week and was wondering what music instrument stores I should visit. Google can be rather unhelpful in this matter. Thanks! Also any other non-music related things I should check out would also be appreciated.

@Wolffgang The songs were recorded in groups of 3. Each group took 10 hours in the studio. The ones uploaded earlier was our first time in the studio as a band. The horns were recorded together. The drums bass and guitar recorded in the same room with the amps in isolation. The second time...

@Wolffgang I definitely agree about Just Trying to Save My Life. The whole band hates it, honestly. It was a poor decision on our part to record it without having it down solid--and it shows. And yes I basically read his criticism the same way you did. The main criticism we bass players...

***DISCLAIMER** I'm in no way comparing myself to the masterful Stuart Zender in the above post...maybe some day.

Thanks guys. The reasoning behind my sudden lack of confidence is that this guy out up a CL ad calling for musicians to play on his album-including bass players. I sent him my stuff and he complained that on my songs I just played the " same basic riff or just seemed to follow the chords"...

Following all of you. Feel free to share band twitters as well. The more people who have heard of you, the better!

Hey Everyone, I'm slowly starting to realize the perks of Twitter. Super easy to communicate with other musicians who may be unknown to you otherwise. I've already swapped 5 gigs with other musicians since I actively started using it as a way to promote my music. So if you have a Twitter...

Thanks for everyone's advice! It's looking more and more like I'll be making the move out to LA in the late summer/early fall. I'm lucky enough to have a good friend out there who has an uncle with a studio in Granada Hills. He's been kind enough to give me advice and point me in the right...

THANKS FOR COMING IN! Is Ska dead?? Probably! But my band doesn't give a damn! Here's our new song that is pretty ridiculous. Lemme know what ya think! https://soundcloud.com/youandalltheblindpeople/philandering

THANKS FOR COMING IN! Is Ska dead?? Probably! But my band doesn't care! Here's our new song with a controversial message! Let me know your thoughts! https://soundcloud.com/youandalltheblindpeople/philandering

I have been getting plenty of fluids and rest for sure. The place I'm gigging at tonight does provide free drinks for the band so maybe I will take a shot or two!
