Our band hasn't practiced in a couple weeks. Not sure it's really a band anymore, anyway. Kinda fell apart after one small show. We didn't officially call it quits, but it's pretty much over. Last weekend I drove to the drummer's house and we hung out, had a couple beers, and just talked/hung out. The rhythm player had car trouble, and the lead player had an emergency surgery on his arm, so it was just me and the drummer. This weekend the drummer said he couldn't play because he had to work. Next saturday is my daughter's birthday party, and sunday is Easter, so no practice then, either.
I have two other opportunities to leave this group and join others. But neither is ideal, I guess. Both are startup bands being fronted by experienced people. One is a Blues/Roots project playing some covers but mostly originals. Guy seems nice, but nothing's established. The other is a heavy metal startup fronted by a guitarist/singer and also doing mostly originals.
Really, I just want to fall in with a cover band, to tell the truth. I thought one of the local bands here that is popular might be something that could work.....the bass player left the band as a performer and is working as the promoter/agent.....which would be awesome, I know all of the songs they cover, and they're a lot of fun, I actually know all of them and I'd fit like a glove, but the lead player decided he's moving over to bass and they want a new lead player. I think they're set on this move.....although I know I could drop right in on bass for them and be ready to go in a few weeks. But it's not what they're looking to do, based on their advertising for what they want.
At this point I might consider the metal/hard rock band. IDK. It might be fun......maybe?
