Try and spot the technical malfunction in the second track! Would appreciate feedback or whatever

 

[rhythmCity944]

Sounds good!!! You guys rock!!! Very tight, and i love the sound you guys make...the blue stingray looks good

I do know from experience of playing on TV that when you don't have a visual audience in front of you it's hard to fake it to a camera, at least for me...it's almost uncomfortable

 

[theosd]

Yeah there was a little bit of that, but I just played for myself and it came out quite good. Thanks for the compliment =]

 

[rhythmCity944]

as long as your having fun, then it's all worth it

 

[theosd]

Oh yeah it was lots of fun... a lot of tomfoolery was cut from the interview because we were enjoying the experience and being boisterous

 

[rhythmCity944]

radio and tv performances and interviews are my least favorite things to do with my band...i hate not seeing the audience

I'd be happy just to be offered them!

More feedback please, even if it's just to reaffirm to me that my bass is a looker

 

[Ole Man Blues]

Excellent.....very tight......

[rhythmCity944]

yeah, making live music is always fun in the end no matter what the situation is...

i think your tunes need backing vocals just to fill in some more space in parts of the songs in my opinion just because of the lack of instruments...you guys do a good job none the less...your guitar player is fun to watch with his lead style on an acoustic guitar...your bass sounds great and looks great on camera

 

[theosd]

Yes backing vox are definitely something that we need to work on, if you check out our recorded tracks at our myspace you'll hear Jerome's initial attempts at harmonies. I just need to build my confidence and attain the magical ability of being able to sing and play; i know i have a good voice, it's just the implementation that I can't quite grasp yet.

Let me know what you think of the other tracks posted there (6 in total)

I'll surely check out the songs and give you a heads up later on when i have speakers...I always find it harder to sing and play bass than to sing and play guitar...probably a counter rhythm thing...once you're confident singing the songs and know the words and melody and the same with the bass part, then combine both...work on it until you nail it everytime

one more note about the video, i use to do a lot of acting and it annoys me when the performers turn their back to the audience and play. just my opinion...i always think that the audience is there to see you so show them you...maybe something to work on as far as performance goes

I see what you mean, but we're playing the music for ourselves as much as the audience, and a bit of inter-band interaction is important. Maybe I do it too much, but then again there wasn't a crowd and i was conscious of the cameras, not wanting to look straight at them if I could help it in case i pulled a funny face

 

[rhythmCity944]

i agree, the camera is so difficult to play to because you can't see your audience I do pull off funny faces all the time and often on purpose but that is who i am...i play country music and i throw up a metal fist and stick out my toung, haha

with a 3 piece band though, with regards to performance, it might take a lot more than if you have 5 or 6 in the band...your right with inter band interaction and as bass player while your lead vocals are occupied, you are the only free man to move around stage and keep the band looking like a band and not just 3 guys on stage...it's your glory time not to blow smoke but I think you guys are great at what you do, very original and i love the look you guys have as a band, you have a good looking band, every member fits with each other

 

[theosd]

Hehe, good to know! I do realise that I have an important role to play, and normally at gigs I'll have a couple of beers to loosen myself up in that respect
