Don't let living in Mancland turn you into someone who refers to those two teams as 'united' and 'city'.
Yeah, I hate that. When we were playing against Man U on the radio the commentator kept saying 'United attacking now..... that's Manchester United by the way'
Sorry guys
I'd had a few though so ya know
it would appear that your computer, has become, comfortably numb
Try every Pink Floyd song from every album they released, and one they didn't. Their all on here...
I was born in the wrong decade

Me too, with the music I listen to, I'd rather have been born in the same decade as my parents! Then I could've seen bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Rush, Queen etc. in their prime!
that's what Sky Arts and Sky+ are for. Every month I see if there are any Pink Floyd/The Who/The Clash etc concerts on there, and put them on to record.My mum and brother hate it though - me and my dad always put on that sort of music in the car, and they get really ****ed off...
Apparently it's impossible to find a drummer in manchester
I drum, if you're willing to commute to Jersey

Are you willing to commute to Manchester, is the real question

I feel, seeing as the drummer's the most important and most musically talented member of a band, it would be up to the rest of the band to come to me

Have you advertised in rehearsal studios?
I know how difficult it is to get one. We spent an eternity trying to find one when I was in a band so we made do with a drum machine.
Just as we were about to give up after 2 years of searching and upgrade the drum machine, I was sitting in a mates shop having coffee and this lad walks in, sits down and chats to us and I discover he's a drummer without a band so I invited him along to the next practice.
He was awesome and he really improved the quality of the music as well as filling that visual gap on stage where a tiny box used to sit.
Doris the Drum Machine was retired from active service.

Put a note up in Manc Uni, there's normally a few nerdy drummers in big Uni's.

But there's more of us, meaning more expensive to travel
We haven't used physical advertisements yet, just online (via Manchester band sections of gumtree type websites. Currently doing one on another one too, but they're all so ****ing difficult to set up. We've found one drummer, been playing for 10 years, into decent music, same age as us, but the bastard website is refusing to give us contact details)
My mate is also doing music production and has asked around at his college for any available drummers but apparently not..
We were thinking of going down the drum machine route too. Planning on getting a Boss DR I think, relatively cheap and a decent starter. He'd be called Dr Ginsberg (named after the beat poet... geddit?)
It's just so frustrating. We were gigging regularly, finally, for 2 straight years and then moved to Manchester without our drummer a year ago and we've just been out the loop ever since. Considering Manchester has about 100 times the amount of places to play at as Lincoln did, it'd be terribly easy to get gigs considering we're experienced in that department. I just wanna get out there and play, so frustrating.
One day hopefully a drummer will just appear out of nowhere like what happened to you! We all thought Manc would be full of drummers...

You seem to be confused, that would be the bass player!

My band had/has a ukelele player, surely he is...
My old band was just the classic 4-piece. Played the Carling Academy (second stage, so what?!
) a few years back, happy days!

Good thing i'm one of them too! I guess that makes me uber important, like the Fuhrer of a band?

We had/still have kind of (just haven't played for 6 months) 8: singer, 2 guitars, keyboard, bass, drummer, ukelele and saxophone
As a bass player? Whatever I feel like!
As a band? Erm... hard to explain, shall I just say 'alternative'?
I suppose a mixture between 80s post punk, (the fall, joy division etc) 90s grunge and 90s alt rock (radiohead, some blur, pavement etc etc)Good thing i'm one of them too! I guess that makes me uber important, like the Fuhrer of a band?
I play both bass AND guitar in the band (not at the same time..) so I guess that makes me equally as important
