craigslist is hit or miss. you have to go through a few til you find the right person

Where do you rehearse Mark? Are your aims recording or gigging or what?

I am 55 and can pass for J.Marr on a good day. Might be a stretch to commit to anything out of London but I'd be interested to hear your stuff.

Ah, you'd be a shoe-in absolutely.

I'd also be interested in hearing our stuff - unfortunately our Guitarist quit without us knowing our first gig (with *this* lineup) would be our last.

We have one song recorded, it's not me singing but I don't sound that different to their orig dude: https://www.bandmix.co.uk/thesubtitles/0

MG

Hmm, that didn't work.

OK, here: https://www.bandmix.co.uk/thesubtitles/

"Walk Away"

Ignore the other one, I refused to sing it and the band said it's OK, they hate it as well.

Hereabouts most such things are handled by Craigslist, but I have had mixed results.

I want to put up a sign on our rehearsal space that says "leave your emu at the door."

Will report back in two weeks.

one year passes...

two weeks! ahem...

The new guitarist was a "techie" type - into Muse, MBV and so on.

We tried him for a couple of rehearsals, we all liked him as a person but ...

Anyway, the Bass guy and the drummer quit, so that was the end of that.

Sorry to hear that, Mark =(

Maybe time to invest an RC-300 and a drum machine?

I'm down to jam, but I'm pretty sure we're not even close.
