We wanna play gigs and have been ready for way too long. I'm pissed off enough to organize my own show if I receive responses from other bands taht are into rock, not death metal or other talentless genres. Classic rock, alt rock, maybe even some jazz or ska. Reply here or drop an email to [email protected] - Wed, 20 Jul 2005 6:04am

"not death metal or other talentless genres"

maybe there's a reason why you're not getting any gigs. - Wed, 20 Jul 2005 10:45pm

You're calling death metal talentless? What planet are you from? I think that's just something people say when they can't play it. Have fun with that. - Thu, 21 Jul 2005 9:40am

i'll agree with jess on this one. any genre you play is..uh..talentful. drums are hard to play, along with guitar and the triangle, so props for anyone who can play all instruments and actually sound good. shit that triangle is hard to play - Thu, 21 Jul 2005 12:43pm

Ha,
sorry didn't mean to offend all the bleeding hearts out there. I've listened to and played pretty much any genre of music around so it's not that I can't play it...I just speak from experience. But seriously, it doesn't matter what I think about music; if you like it, keep playing it. Please try and keep the replies to things relevant to the post.
Thanks - Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:42am

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting organize a straight up classic/modern rock show. If you like death metal, screamo, etc and variety of those genres there is certainly a wide variety of talentful bands in Victoria to choose from. I think the scene does suffer from a lack of rock in the tradition of RHCP, Nirvana, Green Day, Oasis, U2, The Strokes, The Killers etc bands each with their own "rock" sound but also with an ear and songwriting touch for melodies. Well that's my rant.

Kilamanca will play and draw a crowd for any gigs you set up. - Sat, 23 Jul 2005 9:31am
