Hi all

I'm getting a bit bored with music again so thought maybe trying to organise a jam or two might be the best remedy. I'm in Birmingham, live in Bournville but can travel about. If there's anybody interested we could arrange a jam or two at a rehearsal room or something?

I obviously play guitar, if the rehearsal room has PA I could play keys (I don't have a keyboard amp) and I can sing to an extent.

I like the following styles:

White Stripes, Strokes etc type Indie
Velvet Underground type stuff
Moody dark bluesey stuff like the Doors and the Dead Weather
Jeff Buckley type stuff
Maybe standard blues

Let me know if you are interested

Boing boing Birmingham bump

Hi

Might be interested in this. Never played in a band but might be a good entry point. I'm a alright when I practice regularly.

I'm more into heavier stuff but don't mind learning some indie stuff. Might be able to get a bassist As well if I can pry him away from his family long enough!

I'm not in Brum but I am about 45 mins away if you are doing this on the south side of town.
I'm mostly interested in drumming now but I'm a decent guitarist too.

spark240 · August 2016

Mmm...will keep an eye on this, Im i walsall

Shelders · August 2016

Sounds like we've got two guitarists, keys/vocals and a drummer so far.

octatonic · August 2016

I can do BV's as well.

Cirrus · August 2016

If we endeavored to play "Mojo Pin" well, I'd be up for playing any instrument in this thing.

thecolourbox · August 2016

Wow this has escalated quickly! Sounds promising....

@shelders my list of stuff was only really a guide, im not too bossy about what to play apart from insisting on Buckley's Mojo Pin so that we can make sure we get @Cirrus in with his collection of Peruvian noseflutes

Let's do this chaps

@Shelders @octatonic @spark240 @Cirrus I'm away on holiday next week but thought I'd dramatically tag you all to see if we might be able to arrange something in the weeks thereafter? What say ye all?

thecolourbox · September 2016

Any of you crazy cats fancy the open mic night at the Roundhouse in Stirchley Monday night?

thecolourbox · September 2016

Going to have to renege on all of this now I'm afraid as I don't really think I'll be up to this nor really have the time to join anything for a while I'm afraid. Apologies but feel free to organise stuff between yourselves

Wazmeister · September 2016

Why the change mate ?

thecolourbox · September 2016

Just not really got the time coming up I think, and just getting quite frustrated with the instrument in general so probably for the best.

Cirrus · September 2016

Don't be silly. I had this plan that you were all going to learn my songs and we were going to go on Jools Holland. We'd know we'd made it when there was a thread on here about how bad we are.

thecolourbox · September 2016

I'm not sure Jools is of sufficient size for all of us to go on him at the same time

Cirrus · September 2016

You've met me, I'm a pretty slender guy as are you.

octatonic · September 2016

If it is any consolation I have 2 bands on the go at the moment so not sure I'd have been able to make it regularly.

thecolourbox · September 2016

That's ok, was probably a bit ambitious in any case

thecolourbox · December 2016

I'm a necromancer. Anybody doing anything Friday evening? Fancy getting a rehearsal room somewhere in brum? Or Saturday morning/lunchtime?

Cirrus · December 2016

I'd usually have been well up for this, but I'm really keen to get my album finished and Friday eve/ Saturday is prime mixing time in Robannas as there's rarely loud bands practicing near my room.

thecolourbox · December 2016

That's no problem my friend just thought worth an ask.

Does anybody else fancy going to Robannas to make a racket to put off that nice Mr @Cirrus from his mixing?

Cirrus · December 2016

DDAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

EricTheWeary · December 2016

I keep thinking I should put my son's name in the hat for this. He is looking to expand his horizons and gain more experience ie play with people other than the same couple of people at college. Depends a bit how needy you were for a bassist. He's more of a song learner rather than a jammer I'd say. They've been covering and recording stuff by bands like The Kooks and The Hives. Wouldn't be tomorrow morning though.
Anyway, something to be borne in mind

Strangefan · December 2016

I'm a phenomenal bassist (the UKs version on les Claypool says my mum.)
So would happily come and make you all feel really inadequate if you do choose to go for this again.

thecolourbox · January 2017

Anybody fancy this any time soon? Cheers

Shelders · January 2017

I'm up for it, jammed for first time ever recently and although I was terrible it was thoroughly enjoyable.

thecolourbox · January 2017

Good man @Shelders sounds good to me. Think we only really need a third person then we can look at getting some room booked!

Dan · January 2017

How have I not seen this thread?

I would be up for something....

Good man, sounds good as we now have a trio - I thought I'd tagged you in it before to be honest but it appears I sadly did not. You're here now

geetarguy85 · January 2017

I'm free for jams on Monday nights but no other times I'm afraid. Based in Bromsgrove.

Howdy, Stranger!
