My Band

Okay, so I joined a band.  No not a band of brothers, or a rubber band.  but a real music band.  yep.  So I've been playing guitar now for almost a year and I started doing solos at this place called Arlene's Grocery, doing maybe 20 or 30 minutes, sometimes 40.  About 2 weeks ago some guys were there that I know and heard me play and sing and well they asked me to join their band they are starting to form as they were in need of a guitarist. We rented a music rehearsal studio and started playing together and something happened..magic.  we blended really well.  I mean to get 6 people (a drummer, a bass guitarist, lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, Key board pianist and a singer) and have us all blend and play really really well on the first time, well to me that's just the bees little knees...so we sent a sample of our practice session to the owner of Arlenes and they had a spot open for a 1 and a half hour gig available last friday as the other band for some reason couldn't make it.  sooooo, we played that night.  and we tore the house down.

First of all, our two vocalists, a female and a male really kick some serious singing ass.  and well the rest of the band we just seem to know how to play songs with one another.  We opened up with King of Leon's Sex on Fire and it really got the crowd going and went off into some Guns n Roses Sweet Child of Mine, STP and some other 90s rock hits.  It was soooo exhilarating.  We ended up doing another hour and at the end of the night we were all pleased with our performance.  We're playing again in 4 weeks.

We call ourselves "TanGelo".  don't ask me why.  we were just goofing around with band names and i think one of them was eating this orange fruit actually called a Tangelo.  and we said wouldn't that be a cool name for a band.  and well there you go.  I've posted some more or less clear photos of that night.  sorry but my iphone camera sucks.  i'll post up a video soon as soon as its on youtube.
