My band has a chance to open for Aerosmith.


New Horizon

Recommended Posts

Before Dark Mod, I was an actor, singer, dancer and the lead singer of a blues cover band. Well, I had left all of that six years ago to do...well, nothing much except work at a 'real' job. After my Dad passed away in December, I realized that I had just pissed away 6 years of my life...so I started looking for a new group of people to sing with. In January, I found a really great group of guys who were looking for a singer/ lyricist. We all contribute to writing original tunes, and I get to write melodies and lyrics....exactly what I've always wanted to do with a band. :) Anyway, just thought I would give you all a little glimpse into my 'other' life. We started doing live shows in April, these clips are from our third performance.

Cool B) If you ever get to recording stuff, try out soundclick.com. It's a free service, limited to 128 kBps & 10 MB mp3 for a non-VIP account (any bitrate up to 40 MB for VIP @ $9.99 a month). I just uploaded some instrumental rock I recorded in 1999 & last week (lo-fi links sound like crap):

Anyway, It'd be great for your band to have demo mp3s/CDs so you can get more gigs.

NH, hopefully you guys will get some recordings together soon :wub: . It's hard to hear the vocals but it I like what I hear so far!

 

Thanks ascottk. The guys I'm working with have had various levels of experience over the last ten years...done the road tours and all that jazz. Can't wait to do that. :) We're planning to put together a demo sometime over the summer, and hopefully a full CD by the fall. We already have enough material for a full CD but we're just honing the material over the summer at live shows. The guy who rents us rehearsal space has the equipment to record our demo. I just might be posting some samples in a few weeks.

It never occurred to me to mention this earlier, but now that I've thought about it...we could use all the help we can get. :)

 

Aerosmith is playing in our town next month and there is a contest to award 'one' local band, the opportunity to be one of the opening acts during the day long concert event. There are four or five well established bands opening already. Tomorrow morning, we will find out if we made the short list, if we do make that list...it would be fantastic if folks on here would vote for us. :)

I'm a bit jealous. I miss making live music, and that's just the kind of music I used to play. Alas, my interest in this genre has waned, so I couldn't really put my heart into it, even if somebody would knock at my door and ask me to join his band.

 

Still, you guys look like you're having a blast, and what I hear is solid - especially for a third gig. Too bad about the poor quality, no thanks to youtube. Maybe a few timing problems here and there, but hey, it's live.

 

Voted!

Thanks Shatten. :) We've only been together since January, and we had our first show in April. Everyone in our band has paid his dues though and has been involved in the music scene for at least 10 years. With my old band, I used to put in 30 hour weeks, just to keep things going...but this band seems to run itself fairly well. :) Don't have to do that anymore...we just show up at rehearsal and play.

I want to say that's some cool stuff, new Horizon. I love blues and I'm a rock head (not too keen on the two combined) and you guys are sounding good. Have to say though, ask the lead guitarist to cut back his 'intro solos'... they really spoil it, for me... but what do i know?? :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
