AKLulu Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Who wants to be in a band?!? What would you play/do? What kind of band would we be? Would we have fancy costumes? A mascot? I'm so excited to hear your ideas!My skills include.... well... mostly singing at this point. I'm really good at playing a simple beat with a saucepan and wooden spoon (if I do say so myself). I used to play flute and piano, but that's ages ago now. I also took guitar for a semester in college, but didn't retain much of that knowledge.As far as what kind of band.... I'm open to suggestions, but I'm not particularly good at like.... screaming... or hardcore... I'm better at like... ballads... and pretty things. Lame, I know. I'll just have to adapt and stop worrying about how I sound.

WizardTrip Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well, first, I'm gonna have to volunteer Laura to be the first member since she was the inspiration.As for me. I learned to play the scales on the Alto Saxophone when I was ~10 and learned to play House of the Rising Sun on the guitar once.Otherwise, put me down for the cowbell...

CowboyMisterIndependent Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well, I play the drums, but since icedtrip already has cowbell...I don't know that anything else percussive is needed. I will settle for interpretive dancing, which is perhaps my second best skill. Cowboy - Human Adventurer STR: 3 | DEX: 2 | STA: 2 | CON: 2 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3 Link to comment

I learned to play the scales on the Alto Saxophone when I was ~10 and learned to play House of the Rising Sun on the guitar once.Otherwise, put me down for the cowbell...I'm sure we can squeeze your scales in somewhere, but you need to pick up a tenor sax.... that's much manlier. And maybe we can just make you master of alternate percussion. I'm sure you could pick up the spoons pretty easily.... and maybe we could get a gong for you to play with your hammer.Well, I play the drums, but since icedtrip already has cowbell...I don't know that anything else percussive is needed. I will settle for interpretive dancing, which is perhaps my second best skill.If you know how to play like... legitimate drums, you can still do that, but I do think there will be a big need for dancers. I'll have to teach everyone the kelp dance.

klaybae Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am also a great interpretive dancer. I draw my inspiration from sizzling bacon, falling leaves, and hula hoops.I can play the jug bass, the electric bass, a stand up bass, the guitar, keytar, keyboard, piano, banjo, and kazoo. I think my kazoo skills are the most valuable of all these.Also, I sang a song once. Crystal Gem Druid || Stat-free Level-free Goodness "I won't run away anymore...

I'm only disappointed that you don't play the saw also. You can be lead kazooist though, I'm sure your skills are a force to be reckoned with.

I'm sure we can make splitting time work. It may just be that we have to play some shows without you. You can at least a be a collaborator on the albums.

Max Power Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I own a banjo, a guitar, and a harmonica. And I don't play any of them very well, I also don't play the piano very well, I just don't own one.

AKLulu Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Naw....that'd be the air guitar! I've always wanted an air band... I was gonna play the air drums in my air band. The key to air instruments is having no former knowledge of the instrument you're playing. Like me, I usually go the opposite direction of what you're supposed to on the air guitar strings to make it higher and lower pitched.
