Heading out to go load gear soon, so I'll make this quick.
We're a 2 piece instrumental metal band, I like to call our genre "Cthulhu doomnoise." The guy who does my tattoos put us in touch with a bar owner who was trying to put together a metal show to benefit a friend of his who was in a motorcycle crash. Cool, we're in! Show is in 2 weeks, short notice, but whatever.
No fucking word from the venue owner until 2 nights ago, and now we're the ONLY metal band on the bill. Before us is a folk/jazz group, and then a party rock rent-a-band style group is doing 90 minutes before us. Nobody wants to bring their own gear, so everyone asked us for drums and amps. We got so fed up with waiting on show details from the owner that was said "fuck this." Owner has done 0 promo or anything, I can't even find websites for the other bands playing.
Now we're just gonna show up with 2 guitars, no drums, and play some Sunn style shit. OR, if the vibe is really bad around 1AM (when we're supposed to go on), we'll just plug our pedal boards into the drummer's switch and play Mario Kart on stage and fuck with the noises from that and call it art.
Fun times.
Update: first band is on and they're a Chicago style blues band and I have no idea what we're doing here.
We had a band where one of our guitarists didn't know how to play in the real sense and just made noise, he couldn't make it so we just leaned a guitar against an amp and let it feed back. People love shit like that.
Haha thats fantastic.
Thanks! This was the band
Thanks! I'll listen when im not at this fucking venue
Play it over the PA
Sorry some local band is playing a song that sounds like Santeria on stage rn and actually I think that might be the perfect way of getting out of this set.
It would really make my night
Everyone in this thread seems awesome and I just play strokes covers how did you find each other
I've been in the punk scene for like, 15 years. You meet people.
