"Gothic Reggae"

Gothic Reggae. This guy posts on CL several times a day, every day, and has been at it for months. He's like the Dr. Zizmor of the musicians wanted section of the NYC craigslist - relentless and a little strange. Sucked in by the description of self-assured artistic intrigue I finally went and clicked on the link, and.... yeah. Well, he is looking for "bassssss"... should I go for it? (EDIT: I'm joking.)

I listened to parts of some of the tunes. Where is the reggae part?

Re-check my edited OP, I embedded the skankiest track of the bunch...

I'm only commenting so I can listen to these later. I've got to hear this.

I kinda like the Gothic Reggae concept and, as far as I'm concerned, I would go for it. The bass playing on the track you posted displays as much groove as a bag of crisps so there's obviously room for improvement here. Reggae is one of the most bass oriented styles after all.

We have called 911. Help is on the way.

I was being facetious... this is truly awful (the train of consciousness "improvised" vocals) and has the value of a trainwreck similar to a movie like Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Which, of course, means it will be all the rage as "outsider art" in NYC insider hipster circles... huh, maybe I should go for it, after all!

I guess he has the snare on the one and the kick on the two.
He's got the skanky keys.

The bass isn't reggae AT ALL. That must be the goth part.

It's pretty less than meh imo. it will probably never result in paid gigs.

They just need to out skank and out snake every other gothic reggae band. It's all about the passion.

I think that's easy to do as they would be the ONLY reggae goth band

Love a track that starts with a tired sigh. Also goth reggae has existed since goth existed. Bauhaus did a few reggae numbers in their sets.

Man that's horrible...

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

I wouldn't bother to audition. I'm more into neo post nasal symphonic death gothic punk reggae.

I hear a TON of room for a bass to move freely underneath that. If he's not too controlling on your parts, it could be great fun!

So instead of "slappa da bass" its more like "stare moodily at da bass"?

today due to the internet we get to experience such things, the minus one on a scale of one to ten.

 

[bassinplace]

I think there's a spot for him on American Idol.

Huh. Well. Dang I'm out of snarky one liners.
