  1. And no, we haven't ever officially chatted...plenty of back and forth on some threads, though, and I have to say I enjoy it! Don't know if I've ever properly introduced myself, but the name's Matt

    Hi, Matt! The same to you The name is Olof! I'm from Sweden


  3. Nice to meet you Olof. I'm in Chicago myself...the suburbs, really (smaller towns outside the major city- not sure if the vocabulary is the same around the world)...and it's quite the shitty day today. Raining like a monsoon through town today.

    You're right, we haven't...since a favorite user of ours..erm...expired

    I've been okay. Working a bunch to pay for shows, fun, etc. My own band has booked a few shows of our own and we're actually hosting a festival that we've organized in my community in July How have you been keeping busy?


    It was a shame that he went away...

    I've been doing exams since I last chatted to you + I've went into my final year of school. Almost Summer holidays, wish they would come soon. But other than that, I've been quite bored. Haven't had a proper gig since April, but I do have Kings of Leon in 11 days

    You organised a festival!? Wow, you must be pretty big Haha. Got any videos of your band?

    Suburb is the word I'd have used. But my English is a mix of American, British, Irish, Australian... I have a bit of everything in my English vocabulary, your country's accent is probably the most dominant in me though.

    I've had a wonderful day, got my summer holiday

    That band things sounds damn cool... I'd like videos as well

    It wasn't that hard to organize the fest. Finding a venue to take us on was the hard part, but our drummer works for a church (as a janitor) that has a big room attached to it- basically just a huge recreational room- that they're letting us use for free the day of the festival. We've booked 4 bands, including ourselves, for the bill, and each member of each band will pay $12 to put towards the massive staging we've rented. A back-lit projection screen will hang behind most of the stage, so we can do a live video feed or whatever graphics we want, and admission will be $2 solely to donate to local food pantries. We won't be making any money off the gig- just a great way to play for a ton of people.

    It's a lot of fun, really And yeah, no videos of the band yet- we haven't had any shows yet and our practices aren't worth taping. I can PM you the setlist though if you care to know what we're playing.

    Doesn't sound that hard actually. Sounds great though, wish I could be in a band and actually do something like that. Practically everyone that can play an instrument is in a band at my school, so it's hard to find a band. May just turn out to be a one man band, one day

    Please do. I'm interested to see what you're playing. And remember, post the videos up here after the festival!
  8. I also want to be in a band, me and my friends need to stop discussing it and start doing it...


  9. To both of you...sing and play guitar at the same time, and you're golden. Open mic nights are everywhere...I drunkenly participate in one on Thursdays around here I don't generally play my guitar there though. I get up and just howl along with the guy who plays there every week.
  10. I love singing. It's just such a joyous thing to do!
  11. Just got home from school Had a meeting for my own student company now its almost done. Also my school year is almost done, just some exams in two weeks and than its vacation time

    So how are you all?
  12. Just bought Spotify Premium, should be great

    Anyone else have Spotify?
