    Well he's been a huge asset to us and we are happy with his playing. We've had a great reaction every time we have played so far, which has been nice for a band which is purely about creating original music for fun.

    There are plenty of people on this site who post their own music and by and large it is boring, unoriginal, over produced, old man, clap trap. You know what I do when I happen to click on it and listen to their dreary re-interpretations of chord structures and scales that have been done to death?

    I resist the urge to criticise and move on without commenting.

    It's been a long time since I've managed to find a group of people who are willing to experiment and work on something other than covers. Not only that, they all turn up to rehearsals and are lovely people to boot. We aren't going to set the world on fire and we'll be happy to gig locally until we inevitably run out of steam.

    It's never going to be for everyone, but that's ok, the world would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things. The primary directive is to have fun. And we will continue to do that, loud drummer and all.

    I'll resist sharing in future.

    It’d be boring if well all liked the same thing and nothing changed. Keep doing what you do SM. Keep sharing, keep doing it your way.
    different ideas collide and mix and make new ideas.
    I find huge inspiration in what you and many others on this site share, It gives me the drive to do the silly things I do and share them with the forum.
