Started to write a long story about all the problems of the original band I am in, but I thought it might be more fun to post it as a list. Reads like a best-of Band Management.
1) Drummer's timing is not great.
2) Singer is walking the tightrope between not great and really bad. See evidence here Invalid Link Removed
3) Singer only participates in about 1/3 of the practice time, even though she lives in the house where we practice. BTW, she is the drummer's live in girlfriend, so replacing her is out of the question.
4) Drummer books us for a battle of the bands. Winner is chosen by crown response
. The rest of the band are really excited about this "opportunity." I don't have the heart to tell them what this really is. At least it's not pay-to-play.
5) Singer books us for a monthly gig where the pay is a percentage of alcohol sales. What percentage? I don't know, SHE FORGOT TO ASK. How long do they expect us to play? I don't know SHE FORGOT TO ASK. Fan-freaking-tastic. Interesting tid-bit, we only have about an hours worth of music to play. First gig is 10/27.
6) And if all that wasn't enough to make you run screaming from the band, even the name is embarrassing. I got out-voted 3-1 for [Drumroll] loudSILENCE. Tag line from the Reverbnation page: "This is loudSILENCE, do you hear it?"
I've got it all
