It went very well! They're 3 cool kids in their mid 20's and luckily for me they were not all hung up on my skillset, but more on personality and dedication. So they really liked me even though I'm an old man in their eyes and we might rehearse this Sunday! Still missing a bassist though, but I think I'm in a band!


Sounds great! Hawaii and a new band! Congrats!!!

Well done, very well done.

Like I said, we ain't looking to play the Albert Hall, most of us are looking to have fun. Personality goes a long way.

Yeah they seemed excited to have a new guy that's not all jaded and just wants to play music and have fun. They told me quite some stories about past members. :lol

Thanks! The good mojo vibes worked well so far. But I'm not fully "in" yet. They gave me 4 songs to learn, and then we're gonna jam in the studio. But I'm confident I'll ace this since the songs are rather simple:

Hit Me With Your Best Shot -Pat Benatar
Plush - Stone Temple Pilots
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Rolling in The Deep - Go Radio version

Perfect time for an update. Just a few hours ago we rehearsed for the first time as a band. This was for lack of a better term the real audition, and I passed with flying colors! The guys are very happy because before me, they went through a few very unreliable musicians that just flat out played badly. Hell, they made me feel like a rockstar! Later today I'm gonna upload some sound clips I took with my phone.

darn I'm still on a high, that moment when the drummer gave the cue and that first chord came in in perfect unison is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. What an experience!
