danasgoodstuff Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm playing at my alma mater, Reed College with my friends in Portland's longrunning 'noise band'...don't blame me I didn't name the band, we're on first at 8pm sharp for a short set and I can't guarantee you'll be able to hear me, I often can't hear myself, much less that I'll play anything interesting since I have no idea what we're playing, but still you won't hear a middle aged Studebaker driving kinda guy play C-melody in this context evryday, and I think it's open to the public, but I could be wrong since I've seen two different rooms at Redd listed on the web, think I better go practise my squeaks and squonks...and scales, just in case.

danasgoodstuff Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Gig didn't happen due to some sort of internal meltdown in Smegma (now there's a lovely image!). Members I talked to expressed an interest in playing together in some informal future configuration. My career sabatoged by 'creative differences', does that make me a 'real musician' now?

Jim Alfredson Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 No. You won't be a real musician until you drive 800 miles to play a club for the door and make $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Gig didn't happen due to some sort of internal meltdown in Smegma I thought that was what makes them great! Internal meltdowns!

AllenLowe Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 actually, real musicians don't get gigs - at least that's what I keep telling myself - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 No. You won't be a real musician until you drive 800 miles to play a club for the door and make $20. And getting a $120 speeding ticket on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
