Alright, so my name is Robert, and some of you might know me (you probably don’t) as Sanguine (mah blogging name/gaming name/whatever-else-I-feel-like-it-being-name). Before I get into the whole topic I'm blogging about, some things you should know about me:
1.I'm a generally nice and tolerant person who doesn't like to deal with bullshit (or anything pretentious for that matter).
2. I don't have a religion at the moment, so I really don't care one way or another wtvrdafq you worship.
3. I love music, that's the only reason I'm starting this whole mess in the first place.
4. RHCP is my main source of inspiration for my music.
But enough about me, and onto the blog.
So this is basically a blog about me starting a band and just a way to get out my emotions and stuff, also kind of a history timeline sort of thing to document how our band got big, if it ever does, which I doubt it will. Few indie bands ever receive any sort of fame. But who knows, maybe I’m not as worthless as I think I am, and my music. Also on an unrelated note, I’m a brony. So if you can’t stand us, or the show, then this won’t be a huge problem. I'll just love and tolerate you anyway, but the worst thing you have to worry about if you’re an anti-brony is the occasional “20% cooler” reference or whatever. I'm sure you can survive (Fluttershy is best pony).
It would be cool if someone started spreading the word about what I’m doing, but they shouldn’t spread it around too much, because I don’t even have any definite members of the band yet, except Mike.
So here’s a list of positions so far
-Bassist (I could do this, but still)
-Guitarist (Again, I can’t play everything at the same time)
-Drummer (I can’t drum worth crap, so this is essential)
-Trumpeter (optional, but it would be pretty cool. Also Scott might play this part, I dunno)
-Someone to do sound and recording (we can’t play live for everything, although we will be doing live performances most of the time) Mike
-Vocalist (I think I’ve got this, unless someone better than me comes along)
-Someone good at graphic design or whatever to do merch and stuff, if anyone ever wants to buy anything (not really a position, but still needed. I can also do designing, but I don’t have Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop or anything)
-Manager (I guess I could do this, I’d rather not though)
-Financial needs (probs covered by Mike. Extremely appreciated)
So I think that’s about it for all the stuff we need, or at least that’s what I can think of at the moment. And so far, our band only has 2 definite members (including me), and we don’t even have a name for the group yet (I’m assuming this will come in time). This will whole thing will probably be a disaster, seeing how I’ve never:
1. Been in a band
2. Know anything about being the leader of a band
3. Know anything about anything about this kinda thing except making the music.
Also, don’t even get me started on the equipment we’ll need. At least I already have a bass, a low quality electric guitar (Mike has like 4 guitars, so I’m sure we could use at least one his), a bass and guitar practice amp, but I’m sure we’ll need more than that.
As you can see, I’m pretty damned unfamiliar with this sort of thing, Mike might help me again, but still.
So yeah. I guess I’ll check back in a few days. I’m not quite sure how often I’ll be updating it, but it’ll most likely be something like every three days, or whenever I make some progress worth writing about. Which ever comes first. And if you're actually reading this, thanks, we need groupies.
