RE: Alternative Weekend: Brutus

It's amazing what the human brain can handle. I'm gradually getting to grips with the coordination of drumming where each limb is doing something different.

Sort:  

Then there's those enormous drum-sets the likes of Gavin use, that will take some brain co-ordination.

If you've got that sort of setup you need to be good or you just look a twat. My kits are pretty basic.

BTW I saw that Spocks Beard are playing at a pub in Milton Keynes on Friday. I can't go, but that could be a good show.

I would go see Spock's Beard. I didn't gel with what I heard but live prog.., sure!

I need to keep more of an eye on local gigs. That place seems to get a load of tribute bands, but the gig came up on my FB feed.

Have you tried any tribute bands?, I would give them a go but there's nobody to go with as my tastes are too extreme for most and @bingbabe would fall asleep. Can you believe she slept through Wilson's 'Hand' concert at the Manchester Apollo.

LOL! My other half quite enjoyed the 2 SW shows she went to even though she doesn't listen to the albums.

I've seen some Bowie tributes that were good. Some had former band-mates of his. Other half has some issues with the singers trying too hard to look like him even though she loves the music. I talked to someone about playing in an Eagles tribute, but that never actually happened.

There's a Genesis tribute who play the early Gabriel stuff with all the costumes. I missed all that with the original band, so it could be interesting.

Talking of coordination, I don't know how she does the bass pedal dance whilst playing the tune.
