Fender Rumble Club

Not the best picture, but here's me with my R500c and my Grunge covers band Dark Grin last Saturday - at a tiny pub in Raunds, UK.
Picture is from the audience, I'll post some videos in a bit....

I love me some Soundgarden and Nirvana. I was in Seattle on business when Kurt Cobain left the building to join Elvis in a celestial jam session. I went up to Volunteer Park the next night and joined the crowd in tribute, listening to an FM station's mobile van blasting Nirvana. So sad.

But that was a glorious period for the Seattle music scene. At that time, you could pay $3 extra ($10 vs $7) for a multi-club cover charge for the clubs in Pioneer Square, so you could check out multiple bands for a reasonable fee. I've heard that is no longer the case. Too bad.

Definitely a special time within that era - and sad losses from several bands in that genre. Sounds like the multi-club "extra" was a very worthy cost. Could probably do with that here for the "music quarters" of the larger cities.

We cover STP, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Faith No More too. Lots of forgotten "classics" in there, alongside the obvious Nirvana and SG tracks. Stuff you know you knew, but had dropped off the playlist / radar of late.
Places we play for the first time often come with "do you play anything we actually know?" from the audience. And then find they're singing along to 70-80% of the set!

Here's a few videos from the evening, all taken by our audience. I make no apologies for any questionable shapes thrown by the idiot with the MiM P-Bass and the Rumble....

A lesson in being careful what you ask for .

The best part, for me, is how much you seem to enjoy playing that bass, piquey! Rumble On!

[Miles_ONeal]

Good stuff, even if the bass player is vastly outnumbered by guitar players.

 

[SoulReflection]

Good stuff

"Good stuff" in your HO...

Do you throw darts between the guitar players who stand stage left?

Well done, but on "Plush" ya gotta have the body of the bass down by yer right knee and point the neck up at ~85 degrees.

I bet that's how you play "Tush".

Thanks G-Dog. I really DO enjoy playing, especially for a crowd - no matter how big or small.

I was probably a little under-dressed too. And I'd forgotten my aviators...

The animatronic Showbiz Pizza band moved more than the guitarists!
