We literally formed maybe a month before the concert on local bands as they were short this year. I'm the frontman (vocalist) and we are called The Pavern. We went down really well we even snuck in 2 songs in at the end because we were the last band on stage.

Our setlist was mainly covers

1.Live Forever*
2.It's Always Better Censored
3.There's No Other Way*
4.Spanish Bombs*
5.Bring it Down*
6.Strawberry Fields Forever**
7.Leave and Turn The Lights Off

*Cover **Acoustic

Have you ever been in a band Flood?

To be in a band, I must first be able to play an instrument. The only instrument I've ever played *decently* is the keyboard.

Me and a few friends started recently, but we're focusing mainly on writing right now because a lot of our talents cross over into other areas. Example: I can sing, play guitar, and the drums. Another can sing (Lower octaves), play bass, and play guitar as well as a little keyboard. Another friend is learning the keyboard.

So, yeah. We're writing some stuff/combing some stuff we've written by ourselves. Pretty stoked to nail out some demos-- which, we're really lucky for. We all go to the same church which has some pretty decent sound equipment and the guy that usually sits in the booth is happy to help us record some stuff. ;)

It's exhilarating, flat out, no matter how you slice it, to be part of a conglomerate of minds working to create something for other people to enjoy. :)

Love your friends, Die laughing.

Yes, I've played in a several bands. I even have an EP and an Album recorded.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Have you ever been in a band Flood?


I am.

Man, I remember the hour before I played my first gig, I felt like I was going to throw up and crap my pants at the same time. I usually don't stress about performing that much but at the first time I was very nervous.

Also, respect for playing Oasis. I occasionally slip in Oasis cover or two if I only play acoustic w/ electric guitar player. Such a brilliant band.

@valker We did do 2 demos each for the songs on the set I don't have them the bassist is mainly in charge of getting us 'out there' I could try and get it of him.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

Yeah I've been in quite a few bands. I've had to put it on hold sadly while I'm at Uni.

My best gig so far was a friends wedding my band got booked to play. We ended up playing for about 2 hours`of proper classic rock songs. Was really good, and got paid about £100 for it. Awesome!

I play the Drums btw...

I've never been in a band, but I'm currently trying to learn the guitar. Maybe in the future I can join a band for fun.

Hahaha, my brother has that personality in his band. That'd be pretty cool, man. :) Also, congrats on the manager, and good luck!

Wanted to be master of DO NOT WANT, but in latin to show he's clever.

I would like to make music with people too! How did you guys get into contact with other musicians aside from friends?

Sort of. I've played a "band" with some friends of mine, but pretty much everyone but me and the singer know anything about music. The drummer, the bass guitarist, and the pianist are basically just like "derp de hur" when it comes to music.
