Looking to form Progressive Rock/Metal band in Galway

    Guitarist (23) seeks to form band in Galway. Ideally, I'd be looking for another Guitarist, Drummer, Bassists, Keyboard player, and if there's nobody among the ranks who can sing, possibly a Vocalist aswell.

    Influences are many and varied, but for this band I've envisioned something along the lines of Dream Theater, Opeth, Green Carnation, Anathema and so on. Basically nothing too heavy, but leaning very much in the direction of Prog. Sound interesting to anyone? Baggio? DoctorJ? Ancient1? Care to relocate to Galway? :D

    Shush man, Fey is very sensitive about being from Fundalk and all that :p

    You got any riffs/tunes together yet?

    You mean Dundork? :D:p

    Not really got any tunes, just some assorted riffs. I've been doing nothing but technique for a while now, I just haven't written anything at all in ages, and I just need to get off my arse and get the creative juices flowing again, you dig? I need to get some decent playing experience aswell.

    Good stuff. Anyway, back on topic. Join this man's band!

    No, I use a very sophisticated anti-theft system in that I play every guitar I own at least once while I'm sitting on the toilet, that way nobody would ever want to touch them. ;)

    a very sophisticated anti-theft system

    Lol, you crack me up man... :D

    Yup, i'm interested, but i'm still waiting for Fender to provide me with that helicopter they promised me for all the pimpin' i've been doing on their behalf. :p

    Aye, you should definetly grab some goodies for pimping. If I win the lotto tonight, I'll probably get this baby just for the sake of having a Fender in my collection.

    Idea thief!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Hey, it's a sound idea that I agree with. You don't own it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Surely somebody would be interested?

    I think location is your problem as opposed to interest...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Shut up, my location rocks. It's the best location there is!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭kawaii


    Never said it wasn't...

    It's just that no-one else seems to think so...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Bah... :(

    I'm sure someone'll be up for it at some stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭kawaii


    Heh, good luck! :p
