Guys: I think i'm in the perfect band.

This is great stuff!! The band is tight enough, and the vocals are pretty good. I liked the harmonies. You guys look happening... The production/video is actually pretty good too! I liked how the editor faded the lead singer's counter line over the main performance.

I'm glad everyone gets along well. It sounds like your band is applying all the right principles of team work -- getting the right people in the right place, letting people do their thing, being appreciative of their efforts, everybody lending a hand without being asked, and maybe even a bit of shared leadership, and honest communication (although I question using "that sounds like Sh** too often -- nicer phraseology could be used to stop that from turning into a relationship issue).

My only advice is to not take the good relationships in the band for granted. In my experience, there is usually, eventually, some kind of conflict that can threaten relationships in the band, even when things are going well. It takes balancing everyone's needs, sometimes forgiving them, etcetera to keep it happening. You have to keep monitoring and investing in the relationships to keep them harmonious, or at least, functional.

Nice to hear a good success here though.

I do want to say this -- as someone who posts stuff that is often negative about my bands, I do it because I want perspectives on a situation I'm not decided on how to handle yet. Although positive stuff is great, it doesn't often make for interactive discussion. And i like to share it after the talkbassers have told me what they think about a challenging situation, I made up my mind, tried it, and it worked.

Nonetheless, i appreciated your post and the opportunity to see your band. Good quality stuff in my view -- I'd buy the CD if all your stuff is a good as that. Any videos with some solos in them?

 

Sounds like you are all on the same page, musically AND mentally. Congrats, that's very often hard to find!

And WELCOME!

 

I thought we were supposed to fire the drummer. Maybe fire both and then rage quit talkbass!

 

Very cool sound and video. I'm glad you think you are in the perfect band but you are wrong..I am!

It's really cool when everybody is clicking, getting along well and respecting each other. Being in a band where you enjoy the music but not the hang can be miserable. Enjoy the ride as long as you can.

 

Gratz, buddy. Sounds like you're in a good place. Keep on, and keep having fun. Here's to you writing the band's next big single.

 

Really good ****, can tell by listening you guys have a good situation going on..

Wish I could find something like that!

 

Sounds great. As soon as i heard your singers voice I thought of Matthew Sweet.

 

Sounds like Green Day to me. I think thats a good thing?

 

Nice post. And I think we have the same bass!

 

Congrats, it's great when a band is working all harmoniously (I suppose people post less often about that on here!). My opinion is that it takes stars to cross for a great band to form and just as importantly for the group stick together long enough to produce anything good. The music is alright. It's not really br00tal enough for me.

 

The facebooks link pushed it over the top. I initially just felt you were being pushy, but now I feel totally violated, in my ears. But violated in a good way, like when she grabs you by the hair and slaps the fuzzy handcuffs on your wrists and sings sweet, sweet melodies in your ear. That kind of violation.

I really like what you came up with for the bassline. Melodic yet always groovey and in the pocket. THAT'S a bass man right there. If you play your cards right, I'll let you open for my band!




Who was the production company on your video by the way? That was all pro and better than the cats we found locally here in Seattle.

And get your stuff on itunes at least!

There's nothing like having 'the perfect chemistry' in a band. Right up until I retired from gigging, I was in the same band for almost 25 years. And, not one time did we ever get in a dust-up over anything. It was the most democratic situation I've ever been in. It certainly made gigging fun. They're also my best friends, till this very day. We know each other so well, that we can all practically have a conversation in a crowded room full of people just by simple eye contact. Hell, all our families even take our yearly vacations together. It's pretty cool, to say the least. Enjoy it, as it doesn't come along very often, if ever in ones life.

 

My last originals band ran smooth as silk. There was never a fight, heated words or even the evil eye from one member to the other. We truly liked being together at practice, studio and stage.
Sadly after 4 years it ended but we all remained friends. The funny thing is that BL went on to form a new band. Some of the songs are from the old band but allot are new and so is the music to some degree.

Stumbling on his bands CL post has me back now where I belong, holding down the bottom for the band. Feel's great.

Playing with people you enjoy being with is a great thing. Look at all the big national bands that hate each other and sometimes break up what was a hit making group.

 

This sounds like my original band. I really like my cover band, we get great gigs and make more than I think we should, but I just love playing with the original project. Our drummer moved away last year, but just came back. We're playing on Thursday for the first time in many months and I can't wait. The cover band has a New Year's Eve gig at a really cool place and then we're playing one of the best venues in the area, a nationally known spot, on Saturday. What am I looking forward to? Jamming with the original band on Thursday. When a band clicks it's awesome! Nice to hear others are out there.

 

Awesome stuff, Famuus!! Well done.

Some people assume Belgium is boring, but it really does have a lot to offer the world: amazing beer, Baroque paintings, beautiful lacework, artisan chocolates, your band's music and Jean Claude Van Damme... no... actually, you can keep Jean Claude Van Damme.

 

Great video.....I wish you guys many years of good times! Enjoy them! You'll never regret it
