I played in a rock band from 1999-2004 at venues around kansas city. We called ourselves Ten Cent Wonder and had kind of a Collective Soul/Stone Temple Pilots- type sound.
Since the band broke up, I've been looking for another band, but really don't have much time for it at this point in my life :(
Anyone else play in band? Any pics or links to music?
that's me on the right, about 2 years ago..

I had a band back in MN, we sucked, just played covers for ourselves at a church.
Moved to Cali, got into a band, but didn't have crap for technical abilities, still don't, but I'm working on it as I have time (guitar player here).
Takes forever when you know what you want to do, but can't express that through the instrument.
Sort of been on hold musically since I decided to move down to San Diego, so once that happens I'm gonna kick it in the ass.
Try 1970tiacarrera.com for some weird rock-type stuff from Austin.
Do a search on myspace.com for "Vega" the band, they are pretty good, kind of Mars Volta/trance kind of thing going on there.
Super Furry Animals.
I'm currently in "Evil Twin (http://www.eviltwinrocks.com)." Our web site is broken tonight... :dunno: Once it works again... I'll find a good pic.
I have another band that kinda faded away. :( "Jonfrum and the Big Death." We have about 10 half done songs. :lol:
I don't have any pics but I was in a band briefly in high school. It was a punk band; and we kinda sucked. We did some covers (Nirvana, Green Day) that turned out "OK". It was a lotta fun tho :thumb:
EDIT: I played electric guitar in the band, but can also play electric bass.
I started playing bass back in high school and set it down after graduation. I picked it again last fall and have had a lot of fun. Lately I've been moving more towards rhythm guitar type stuff with my 7-string guitar. Yes, I like metal ;)
I've never been in a band though, never really thought I was ever good enough to try out for that sort of thing
The guys on the music board I read play a lot of yahoo messenger jams but I've never had the guts to join. I don't know enough about theory to be able to join along ...and I don't use yahoo IM :lol:
I bought my baby(13 year old son) a Big Baby Taylor today. It sounded so fine in the guitar shop and was made in California. I went in to look at some Ibanez and Fender acoustics but they started freaking out when I started screaming about the fu_cking chinese communists taking American taxpayer jobs that they "guided me" over to this one. It is fine and I know my little boy will love it as much as I love him. I can "make C, F, and G". 30 years ago I used to sell guitars so I kinda "know what's going on". It makes me freakout to pay retail when I know what things "really cost" the dealer. Taylor, Martin or not!
Hey that's great! Taylor's are very nice acoustics
My jazz bass is a US made Fender but it's the only US made guitar I have so far. I'd love to get a Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ but those are $$$$. The Rectifiers are pretty tasty also :mrgreen:
I've got a Big Baby Taylor as well, great guitars. Kinda light on bass frequencies, but I don't miss the boominess that bigger guitars are also known for. Sound will just keep getting better, since it's solid wood top, compared to a "sounds as good as the day it was made 75 yrs later" laminated top.
I'm about 20 mins from the Taylor factory right now, as a matter of fact...Missed the daily tour at 1PM though...
i was a singer for Cerebrum. the band was short lived but we took some awards (1st and 2nd places in local battle of the bands). we had some fu n
What's up with that "Taylor contest" that I have seen at the last two guitar shops I've been in and on their websites? Does Bob make you a guitar?
To YOUR specs.? Just curious. I threw the last one in file 13. Wilson
i sang in a band very briefly in high school, doing classic rock covers.
aside from that i've been playing guitar for a long time. recently started playing 12-string.

here's a couple of amateurish recordings from when i was playing 6-string.
The Foggy Dew was recorded in a dubbing stage at USC, the others were recorded on a borrowed 4-track.

wow man sounds great. You have a good voice too, it fits with the songs
as a side note, you a lot like my friend's older brother.
I'm afraid I can't find a picture of him but this is his website

He is also the founder of The Crucible
I have never really been in a formal band, but I do play at bluegrass weddings :lol: This is me playing at a friends wedding in Key West in June. I'm the underdressed guy in the middle....

Taylor does make a sweet guitar.
I've been playing since about 1998. In 2000 I bought my current guitar. It is a Guild D25. I love it.
I played for probably about 4 hours total this weekend by myself. I got into this zen sort of jam where I was making crap up and just playing. It was like a Tim Reynolds concert, but not as annoying.
That's me in the "Studio". Basically just a spare room in the apartment that I keep the gear and recording equipment in. I love my Martin!

That's my guitar collection... OK, well only the first 3 are mine, the rest are my dad's. L-R: My dad's old 78' Telecaster that he handed down to me (WIth a humbucker at the neck- gorgeous sound), then My Martin DCX1E acoustic (Synth Material, nice warm Martin Tone), and my Ibanez Bass. My dad's old Gibson F cutout acoustic on the right, and his Gibson ES-355 on the floor.

That's my college band, "One Night Stand". Them's were the glory days when we rocked hard. Now I do mostly singer-songwriter acoustic stuff, still rocks, just not as loud :thumb:
