Oh! Ohhhhh! So I was at this school dance last night, and me and Luke (drummer of me and earthman's band) talked to our principal. We got him to agree to let us play some sets at a future dance, in between the "dance" music. This would be our first gig, and I'm totally pumped about getting it going. The only thing that can stop us now is earthman saying "no, I hate you pricks, everything sucks", which is almost impossible to avoid, but we're doing it anyway.

P.S.- We also are finally on a scheduled practice...schedule. Finally, things are looking up for the Greasy Knots (see thread title). Unless earthman cancels our thursday practices so he can watch My Name Is Earl and The Office. Again, almost impossible to avoid.

2nd P.S.- There's a battle of the bands in Teulon in June. I wanna get in on that too.

3rd P.S.- I finally buckled down and got a song done, maybe two...I'm trying to record them but I think I'll wait until the whole band gets together and link you guys to the band demos. I bet you just can't wait for that!
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

I'd cancel for MNIE. That show kicks ass.
Congrats on your band chum. You gonna play 'im in me', or whatever it was?

Y'know, it's a sad state of events when one of the members of a three-member band has to read about the bands upcoming gigs on an internet forum for in order to learn of them. Especially when the aforementioned member has is the band's guitarist, and he reads about it on a guitar forum.

Seriously. Way to tell me things, Mike, you jerk.

P.S.- I just decided that we're now a jazz quintet. I invited the bass player and drummer from that horrible convention-center band to play sax and piano, respectively. And I did it all without discussing it with you guys first. Eat that.

2nd P.S.- I hate you. :)

3rd P.S.- I hate you. :mad:

Even sadder, is when on a guitar forum, the guitar player, who just found out about the upcoming gigs gives his bass player, who he's see every day, crap for it on the guitar forum.

Poor bass player :( .

Drummers were voted as the sexiest member of the band.
