Rising Stars - Battle of The Bands Round 1 - Sunday 17th Feb

have they found one now?

That's what I was wondering, we probably would if we wasn't playing on the opening night. Because there's sometimes a massive difference between a band's live performance and a recording!

They are trying one out in full rehersals on Wednesday, to see if they progress, depends how much of their set he can pick up quickly

sounds good!!

they still after a keys/synth player then?

Yep, still no joy there, but they have had 4 guitarist approach them for auditions and they will work through them till they find one suitable.

i think ive checked out most of the bands playing and i reckon there are loads of bands that really stand out, which means its anyones game, it would be interesting to see wheater or not the more experienced performers do better or not, cos good songs arnt everything.

i dont think half of that made any sense

Well it did to me Alex, but I talk fluent gobble de gook

good songs are everything!

and a bit of stage work isnt bad either

wait thats us!

wat u rekon of our chances falex?

I definatley think you need to push your performance, that goes to all the bands not just yours of course, you need to entertain the crowd, watch the bands on the 3rd and you will see again what I mean

sue you have no idea

the lads stage work now is brilliant, well everyone apart form ben's

when they played the diner last time in all honesty they were shit. but performances like woodchurch and abandon ship will definately get them noticed and the crowd pumped.

mike make sure huxley does a backflip
if not get jake to try and fdo a backflip.

You can have the best songs in the world but if you have no stage presence then it's not much good. I know this guy who used to rap, his recordings were great but he was too scared to go on stage...what's the point really? It's like only doing half a job.

Totally agree with you

we tried, and tried and tried, but hey jake james tom and other tom make up for it.

i wanted him to be like lucas frontman hes rather good

(big up luca)

Maybe they coiuld give him some advice

What's the arrangement in terms of kit sharing? Or are we just sorting that out between us bands. Coz the drummer from Whiskey Mystics said we can use his drum kit...

Under The Thumb are supply the drum kit with the exception of breakables for all band to use

i think chloe could show him a thing or two

Show who a thing or what?

show ben from what the hell to be a front (person)

Develop an alter ego

Would just like to say I am looking forward to a very good evening of music! Sam Ashton
