Will_i_am Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hi.I have played in bands for 17 years or so and used to regularly gig all over the place. I gave up about a year and a half ago when I became a father so that I didn't hold my, then, band back. But really miss it. I'm coming up 32, play guitar and sing a bit and I am mainly interested in stuff like Brand New, Hell is for Heroes, Rueben etc... If you're in a similar boat to me, can sing, play guitar, bass or drums then drop me a line.harrison.will@yahoo.co.ukYou don't have to be the best player in the world, just enjoy what you do and be competent enough to keep time.Any questions, contact me.If you want an idea of what I've done before check out the now defunct www.myspace.com/hedstrongmusicThanks.Will.

HonaloochieB Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Don't play anything Will. but could I suggest 'Stuntman' as a name for the group.Always fancied the idea of a group called 'Stuntman'Think about it.'Stuntman'.

Will_i_am Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Stuntma. A tribute to my late mother, Evilina Keneval, who tragically died when she misjudged the length of a number 12 bus on her mobility cart.

Brendan Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Cool. So long as there is a one-eyed villain and a monkey for comic relief. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5878-looking-to-start-a-band/#findComment-188982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonaloochieB Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Or indeed a comic strip.Peter Patrick Potter was the luckiest schoolboy in the world. After being cursed by Gypsies when she refused to buy clothes pegs from them, his grandmother Florrie Potter was turned into an internationally reknowned stuntman.When Florrie was around adventures and high jinks were the order of the day...

Moos Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Have you considered Stunma? The electrifying (sorry) combination of an old lady and a zapstick. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5878-looking-to-start-a-band/#findComment-188993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_i_am Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Is zapstick a new genre of comedy?Zapstick humour, like slapstick but someone gets electrocuted.

Moos Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 It's slapstick for the new generation, rendered immune to shock by the incessant playing of computer games. I remember when it was all tigers round here but not now no, now you're not allowed to even say tiger apparently it's racist or something. I don't know.

Brendan Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 A gypsy curse, a one-eyed monkey villain and Stuntma?s glorious demise in a failed attempt to jump the No12 in her mobility cart. Released as a musical comic book, heavy on the zapstick humour. Not sure playing trendy-hardcore will be quite surreal enough for this band you?re starting Will. Perhaps something more in the style of, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, would be more fitting?

Will_i_am Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'll have to swap the guitar for something a little more obscure. Maybe look into trendy-lardcore. Milkbottles filled to different levels with lard to produce different pitched notes.

He could be called Pete.Every time he appears on screen a version of Mud's Tiger feet, cunningly adapred to Tiger Pete could accompany him.See if can get Motorhead to cover it.
