i used to play drums in a hardcore band here in VA. We were once scheduled to play with the legendary metalcore greats ZAO, but the show got cancelled! (I kept the flyer that has us on the bill tho, its hanging on my closet door).

[spookytwigg]

I play bass.... My best claim to fame so far was in the band "Rude Boy Dave" who played at the wulfrun hall in wolverhampton (it was a battle of the bands thing...)

I've currently just started a new band.... So new we haven't even got a name yet!

[frostitute]

I can play the spoons at work.

And I can make that popping sound with my mouth.

i used to be in a band with four other people. i was the only girl and was bass player and second guitarist. It was cool while it lasted but sadly it's ended.. people went to uni.. i joined wrestling and now the bands back together minus me. i don't mind though... it's all good.

My band, Evil Illegal, hails from Southern Illinois near St. Louis, MO. We have 3 people: Myself, brandon, and Jon. I play the drums guitar and piano, in the band I play the drums, brandon guitar, and Jon sings. We let our friends play shows with us if they feel like it so we usually have about 4 people for each show, though only us 3 are permanent. I think if you search for Evil Illegal on google you'll get a link to a webpage where you can hear a song from us. Chow.

Oh yeah, So its known to all, My band have a name now! We're called "the kings of things", There are three members so far. We have four songs of our own and an Elvis over to our name ... We're kind of "street punk"/ska kinda stuff... but without the need for 8 members in the band

The website is www.thekingsofthings.cjb.net ... But currently It's pretty bare

Nobody wants a flautist in their band

I did play guitar very badly in a rubbish band with some friends. It was fun and we still do it sometimes. It's mostly silly songs now.

[spacemonkey]

I've played guitar for just more than 10 years now and am a vocalist.

Go out busking every now and then for a bit of extra pocket money, it's not bad.

Done stage work and recording. Just playing for fun mainly now. wouldn't mind going back into the studio though, I do have a couple of songs that I want to showcase

[Starscream`s Gho...]

I can sing, really well, but I`ve never been in a band, I`d like to be/have been, but it`s just never worked out that way. Nevermind, there`s always karaoke...

[Ohio_is_for_love...]

I can sing and play guitar ( well badly for the guitar bit) ive not been in a band although Tom and Nathan asked me., hehe. Oh well, yay adam and joe show.

[Simsydav]

I play Bass too.

Altough I would say Im in a band. Im in 5, one of them I play acoustic guitar, because its easy. I have done a couple of gigs, but nothing major.

Playing in a band is great, even better than playing an instrument, I get a massive buzz out of playing a line up of songs with other people, its great, hard to explain.

Do you use fingerstyle or a pick? I use fingerstyle.

My band, ChickenWing.

I sing and play keyboard and I piss about with midi programs like Reason. Sometimes I get drunk and think I can play the guitar, but alas that is not true.

I also have one of those Kaoss pads which is great fun, but I'm not in a band at the moment so it doesn't get much use. I'm moving house in a couple of weeks and would like to meet some musicians near my new place. I think a guitarist and a cellist would do.

I play bass and guitar. Don't play either regularly lately. Just screw around on the guitar really. I am much better and intuitive at the bass. May be putting something together in the near future, but mainly just play for fun.
