What do say when people ask about your band?

[Ian McLaughlin]

"We play both kinds."

 

[mrcbass]

"We play both kinds."

That's funny. My guitar front guy used that line at our last gig as we did a mini-C/W block - and we proceeded to butcher the intro to the next song to the point that we had to reset. I chimed in "OK, well maybe we just know the one kind...."

 

[oZZma]

"So you know early Weezer? We sound nothing like that"
"We're progressive metal, so basically jazz that is mad at you"
"We play 22% more notes than most bands in the area"

 

[Smooth_bass88]

I say, “I’m in like 6 bands right now, plus I record a lot and do a bunch of fill-ins”

I had two bands in Junior High and one a few months ago (I'm in High School). My ex bandmates or my friends always bug me to start another band. My boyfriend (now ex, he's a dbag, lmao) was in one of them, that, of course, didn't work out well.
My family always says, 'well, you still play bass! Why don't you start another band?' I always get the 'hey, start another band' by friends and family. I was the only one that took it seriously. Everyone else was goofing around. A friend of mine was scared to sing. I just broke it off.
My bandmates don't even know how to play. Our 'drummer' didn't have a drum set. So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stop forming bands in High School or at least wait until they can actually play.

Hate to break it to you, but you won't find the situation much different in adulthood. But keep at it. You might get lucky.

Shaking off in the head between sets:

Guy next to me, "Damn, that band is loud"
Me, "Those ********!"

 

[Big Hoss]

We stink muscially but we put on a heck of an entertaining show.

 

[Not yet]

They suck

 

[tekhedd]

"So you know early Weezer? We sound nothing like that"

"It's hard to describe... Do you watch VH-1?"

"Yes!"

"OK, well we're not on VH-1."

 

[grinx]

Whatever you like will not sound like us

 

[wdog3973]

Mine is:
“We play country and eastern music” or
“Yep we play death metal polka”

 

[diegom]

When people ask me if I am a good bass player, I usually reply: "I'm terrifyingly good"...

Don't blame me if they assume something I didn't say!!!

 

[diegom]

“Yep we play death metal polka”

Oh, are you touring with Weird Al??!!??

 

[leegreenman]

I’m 44 and stubbornly dedicated to doing all original, heavy, psychedelic rock.
In other words no one I know ever asks about my band.

 

[LowRick]

Don't ask me, I'm just the bassist....

 

[lokikallas]

I was in a band once we described as Psychadellic Death Funk.
Now I just say, we are like Jack FM.

 

[JaamE]

It's a toss up between "We'll play anything we can mangle well enough to be recognisable", "We play reggae poorly but with enthusiasm" or "If we're not having fun we're not doing it right"

 

[JRA]

"what kind of music do you play?"

"jazz"

 

[Stumbo]

"We are the band most popular among lonely housewives, insomniacs, alcoholics, truck drivers, and those inclined toward deviant social

And that's the good part.

 

[juancaminos]

Cool, does it sound like this:


Or this?

Hell no, but thanks for that...
