Things will get better if you guys stick with it. The first major step is making sure your drummer can keep time, it's all downhill fro, there.

I definately get depressed about my band. We're a decent band. It's just things like my bass player and drummers constant pot haze, and my keyboard players gay lyrics that I'm embarassed to back up with music, this is funny since my drummer wins all kinds of writing contests, yet never writes for us. :(

So, it's rough all over (outsiders allusion ;) ), but once you play your first show, I guarantee (sp?) that you guys will be so pumped that you can't wait for your next gig.

Take a deep breath...watch My Name is Earl...And play me some f@#$&*! ROCK AND ROLL!
