Thank you. I'm also anxious that I just won't have time for it between my two jobs and all. We'll see...JennyB wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 10:50amI think this sounds like a reasonable approach.

Wish you all the best mate. But personally I think that band sound awful. They come across as completely forced.
I think you are a fine musician and should start your own band with like minded people.

Re: Need advice quick
Kory has very interesting tastes in music with his love of jazz, post punk, prog etc. He is very capable of producing something way more interesting and challenging than that band.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 4:44pmKinda sounds like we have consensus here that Kory is clearly the best part of this band.Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 4:22pmWish you all the best mate.

Re: Need advice quick
Well the idea is that we're starting over from scratch. I think I have to play two outstanding shows with the old material because we won't have time to write anything new, but after that, it's all-new material with the same band name. We've talked about our mutual interest in Gang of Four, Magazine, etc. so hopefully something will come of that which is good without being derivative.Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 5:25pmKory has very interesting tastes in music with his love of jazz, post punk, prog etc. He is very capable of producing something way more interesting and challenging than that band.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 4:44pmKinda sounds like we have consensus here that Kory is clearly the best part of this band.Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 4:22pmWish you all the best mate.

But yeah, I'm certainly worried that the songwriting chemistry won't be there. In which case I guess I'll jump ship.

I'm all for Kory giving it a go and subverting shit into his own agenda.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
