Haha, nice idea, Dan. If my recording situation wasn't crap, I'd like to drum, but instead, I might could help with mixing. I have Apple Logic and moderate skills with using it, but I'm sure there's people with Pro Tools who are infinitely more talented than I.

[Phemar]

Playing live shows will present quite a challenge

Not necessarily. I've heard this crazy rumor that apparently AGSers can connect to an AGS game via the intertubes. All you guys need are some sprites and and an audio feed.

Ooh! You can be the warm up act before the AGS awards! (Or you can play at the after party!)

[Ultra Magnus]

I can play bass to some extent, so count me in if you don't get offers from anybody... you know... actually good.

I tried to do this on a forum I used to frequent about three years ago, but the people there all signed up under the impression that I wasn't being serious, so I ended up doing everything myself.

[ShiverMeSideways]

Do you have Skype, Ultra Magnus?

Then you shall be our producer

That's awesome, Ponch, but, unfortunately, lag and stuff like that would prevent such a truly cool thing from happening.

You are brilliant, Ponch!

Don't listen to him, folks, he definitely knows how to play it!

I can be a backup, even worse, bass player. Three notes and the truth, that's my groove.  

[Peder 🚀]

Too bad I am not in Norway anymore, I would gladly of offered to be a drummer .

[Ultra Magnus]

Sorry for the late reply, I was answering a PM and then my net connection went down.

Do you have Skype, Ultra Magnus?

Not at the moment. I'm not sure I even have a mic, but I could probably organise something in a few days or so.

It's my word against yours.

[ShiverMeSideways]

No worries, I've added you to the first post, welcome to the band!

After we've assembled everyone, we'll see all the schedules and maybe we'll set our first band meeting. It'll take a few days I expect, so you'll have time to set up a mic.

[Ponch]

That's awesome, Ponch, but, unfortunately, lag and stuff like that would prevent such a truly cool thing from happening.

You have plenty of time to get a track laid down and shipped (or "dropped" as you crazy kids are saying these days) to Dualnames in time for him to bundle it with the game.

I demand a warm up act! (Or an after party!)

Lastly, I have it on good authority than Ben304 can play the drums.  And I consider it my civic duty as an AGSer to volunteer other people whenever I can.

[Ultra Magnus]

Well, that was easy. 8)

[Wyz]

It's almost eerie how people think alike, I was wandering around with exactly the same idea
Although I would have gone for the 'house band' idea in it that the band could record game music for fellow AGSers. Well and ofcourse have fun!

Anyway, I play keys to some extent if you need them

[Chicky]

I can take the drum spot, i play a Roland electric kit so recording isn't much of a problem. How serious are we talking? I already have two band practices a week plus uni and my filmmaking, but it would be fun to lay down drum tracks over guitar recordings if there's a click track involved.

Wyz, if you have Skype, and can talk with us, then you're on board, of course! Keys are welcome!

Awesome! Pretty serious... We're not going to make money or anything, it's just something that we love doing and we want to do it. It's all about having fun and laying down some cool tunes. It's not about m4d sk1llz or how complex the songs are - it's just about playing some music. Having said that, things WILL get done, and we'll probably have a myspace, a last.fm and such, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.



If both of you have Skype and are sure you're up to it, then please reply here again, just to be sure, and you'll be in the band.

After that, only vocals will be needed, and after that, it'll be time to set the first band meeting!

[Calin Leafshade]

I will volunteer myself for 'guest vocals' and 'guest guitar' but I'm not versatile enough to be a permanent member.

[Dualnames]

That'd be awesome! 

[Chicky]

I'm not sure i'd be able to keep up with the skype jams etc, so wouldn't want to let you guys down. I've also got a lot of work coming up -_-

Give me a shout if you need someone to lay down some drum tracks in the future.
