dance:

You might notice some tunes in there that may not be ones you'd think of when you think of good driving rock music, but we're arranging some tunes differently; putting our own spin on them.

Hard Day's Night, in particular, is sounding heavy as shit. rock:

post mp3s when done rock:

The Ramones - I wanna be sedated

Zoner, you better be doing vocals on that song. Sing in a grunge fashion ahaha

COTTON CANDY SWEET N LOW LET ME SEE YOU TOOTSIE ROLL

/GUITAR RIFF

good song list

more metal D:

Giant Erection would have been the best name.

NO MORE!

In between songs, the drummer and I play "Dawn Patrol" by Megadeth...heh heh

rock:

We might add "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" done by The Headstones (originally the Travelling Wilburys).

Good tune.

Hard Day's night is fine the way it is.

Muddy Waters - Hoochie Coochie Man
beer:

It's not a drastic change to HD'sN, but it's a little heavier. It's one of those songs that needs changing as every band plays it.

It'll be recognizable, just different.

Hoochie Coochie Man = 1337 rock:

Temple Grove? I've been calling it Temple Groove this whole time.

biggrin:

The guys thought "Temple" sounded too religious. Fookin' heathens...heh

I was hoping for Dudemachine. loney:

Re: Zoner's band will be called...
 

Replace that with over, under, sideways, down.

Are you going to post some MP3's for us? get a computer and start recording! beer:

Wolfshirt hake:

Aaaaaaaaaaaahahha

cover band!?... annoy: ...









biggrin: ...

please do a cover of Orleans - Dance with Me
thnx

you play bass right?

The Haunted - 99

heavy song, you might like it, Zoner

We're doing covers because the reality is you need to play covers to get gigs. Bars around here aren't going to hire you if you're doing 100% original material. It just doesn't happen.

We're planning on working originals too and will worm a couple into the set list

When can we download rocketlounge.mp3?

Won't be for a few months, I wouldn't say. We gotta get the tunes together and tighten up as a band. That's coming along nicely, but it's not quite there yet.

Do you play bass in your underpants like that fool from the vastly overrated, and exceedingly shit, Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Flea > Life

Also, he was in The Big Lebowski

happy:
Nein. I might play in a Jason costume if we ever play a Halloween gig tho.

thats not really true, i have friends in many bands that have played ottawa lots of times, including Sailboats Are White at Zaphods etc...

The Covers Theory isn't 100% true, no. We're just getting our feet wet, getting established. Once/If we make a name for ourselves, we can bust out more originals.

I'm not saying it's impossible to get gigs doing all original material, but it's a lot harder sell and closes a lot of doors for gigs that just need a house band to provide party music.

People generally like what they know until they get to know your band.

tell me about one of yuor gigs and ill bring the boys down to see it...as long as it is 19+.

cant have any of those damned 18 year olds about, right? oOo:

After may...ill have no body who is a close friend under the age of 19...so basically only way ill convince people to come to ottawa for it is if it sells alcohal lol.

You're fucking weird.

[quote=Tripper]You're fucking weird.[/quote:2fa06]My exact thoughts. oOo:
