I'm having a big going away party for my soon-coming journey to Nicaragua, and some friends of mine, my cousin, my brother and I are forming a quick band for the event. We had our first band practice tonight, went awesome. My best friend had just gotten done with some Marine exercises so his voice wasn't at his best, but our instruments were tight for this being our very first practice, and my with my bro on bass we had a nice funky rhythm going throughout, which I was delighted by. This is the first time I've played in a band in almost a year. Felt good to do more than just jam for once.
Lineup:
Best friend on acoustic guitar and vocals, kinda folky countryish style.
Little bro on bass, playing what was essentially prog funk bass lines with a nice African feel to some of them.
Cousin on electric guitar. He's basically a young Yngwie Malmsteen. Best guitarist I know personally.
Myself on drums, playing all funky and groovy.
We also have another close friend who sings beautifully and plays guitar, but she had to work.
So basically for my party we have a funky folky southern rock band. I'm pretty stoked.
