Indeed. No point in wasting my time waiting for a band to form around me. It's much better to practice while searching for a band, even if I don't get in a band anytime soon :) On the bright side, starting from October 13th, I'll be spending 10 weeks in completely unknown surroundings with a few hundred (if not thousand) strangers. Maybe someone there plays an instrument and wants to start a band :) I'd be surprised if I'm the only one there who plays an instrument (especially since that town is one of the towns I most frequently see mentioned in band-adverts...)

Until I get a band up and running, I'll just keep practicing with patience, and seek out inspiration wherever it might be. In the last year, I've already seen 10 different bands, been to 2 clinics, talked to two of my guitar-heroes twice, and found out when and where the best local band rehearses (I swear, that one is by coincidence! I was walking the dogs, and could hear some music, and then noticed that it was that local band, but only because I could recognize the riff from one of their own songs... Guess where I am walking the dogs every sunday afternoon ever since then). And to top it off, I've got 5 more concerts coming up in the next half year. Having grown up listening to Queen, I just had to get a ticket for their only concert in Denmark in 24 years next February! Yeah, I'm pretty damn excited about that, in case you couldn't tell :)

I just listened to the video your band has put on Facebook. Sounded very nice, even if the guitar at some point was very hard to hear :)
