I can't remember if I've mentioned this on here, but I left my last band (BlackHawkDown) in January and had pretty much sworn off doing it again on the basis that I was sick of musicians.
The idea was to write music, find a singer, get shit recorded first and foremost and then maybe recruit a band and tour it if it was any good. After months of the depressing search you're all familiar with, I found a singer...and then randomly had the rest of what is now the entire band contact me separately.
In short, the whole "no band" thing didn't last long, and what we've produced so far has put a whacking great smile on my face. Here's the first track we wrote, taken at the beginning of the second session:
Sure, there are mistakes and the odd missed note here and there, but...well, I'm actually quite hopeful about this one

One thing about musicians from cover bands I've found is that they are often (not always of course!) more organised and have their gigging act together.

I'd say it's a fair bet to say you have more than the average number of ears! (though actually there are 9000 of us in the UK, and the following people have been DIOE: lewis carroll, julius caesar, 25% of dalmation dogs, Rowan Williams,Paul Stanley from Kiss, Rob Lowe from Wayne's World, Stephanie Beacham, Nico from Velvet Underground, and does Vincent Van Gogh count?
