Are you or have you ever being in a band? how successful were you?

Answer 1

Jake & I had an act, you might have heard of us..The Blues Brothers. We made some good noise, had some great players,
kept the dream of R&B alive.

Answer 2

I've played in 3 piece bands, many years ago.
Piano, Guitar[Banjo] and I played Alto Sax.
Depends what you call successful. We always got paid, so that made any Gig successful. This was back in the
1940s. More recently, in the past ten years, I've played
in a 12 piece band, [Drums].

I played in a Duo for a few years, with a Piano Player,
For a sing along. This was for our own enjoyment, no
pay. Once a week for an hour. I play Guitar now. I've retired now a very successful musician. I enjoyed it.
Big Time? No. Big money, No. Fame,No. But it was fun.

Answer 3

I have been playing in various bands since i was a kid. I've been a drummer for 18 years, and i have moved from band to band as they trail off (every band has a life span).Most have gigged a lot, so i have been on stage plenty, and i have recorded a lot too. The present band is currently building a set and should be gigging by Xmas. We have made a sort of super group this time from all the best musicians that we know. I shall post our my space address when we get that finished.

Answer 4

I worked as a session musician from 91-96 and played mainly on adverts and radio station id's. I had a band called Kingsize (after the big old school Mars Bars) and and currently working on an album of cover versions of late 80's and early 90's indie songs by bands may people won't of heard of such as The Family Cat and The Machine Gun Feedback.

Doubt if I'll ever get famous and I'll never appear on TOTP now it's finished.

Answer 5

Few years back I formed a Doo Wop group, we had a lotta fun singing our group harmony. Got to play in some real strange venues.
At the moment i'm working with a trio creating a Rockabilly sound. We sing stuff like "Suzie Q" and "Skinny Jim". We have already played a few shows and hopefully we can give up working for the man and do the stuff we love for a living.

Answer 6

I was asked to join a band, as lead vocalist, when I was attending University. The guys in the nearest record shop (30 mile round trip) had never heard me sing but thought I 'looked the part'. I think they must have sold the idea to America...

Answer 7

My half brother is in a band called "Down Division". They have regular gigs in the London-South East area and sound like Green Day. I'm biased and think their latest CD is terrific but strangers tell me they are good so they must be! :-) Way to go, Mike! You rock!!

Answer 8

I'm not but my cousin is the lead singer of beautiful south and they are a success ful band does that count.

Answer 9

I am in one right now. We are just getting started, so we aren't very well known right now. But I am hoping. Right now, I have to play many different instruments in it, so I have to be recorded a few times on different instruments. We went to a church so I could play around with the pipe organ, and we are going to put that in there, I play lead, rhythm guitars, some of our songs call for bagpipes, keyboards. Other different things. Also I am one of the vocalists.

Answer 10

I have sang and played acoustic on local television. And went to Nashville.
Got ALOT of bites. But the thing is.......I'm not country!!! I'm a CA., native.
But I figured I could write country songs..and I've wrote some, but I haven't
put my energy toward it. It doesn't matter to me any more. I will die with my
music. lol. And I'm ok with that...so., That's about it. I've also played other
places too. Met a famous person,....but like I said....I'm not a country singer.
