    My band was invited to try out for the Vans Warped Tour

    It's funny because we haven't even really gotten together to play yet. We don't even have a name yet. My brother's mostly working on writing songs right now. He and his college roommate (and lead guitarist) have both written and recorded a bunch of stuff over the years.

    My brother and his friend have some songs recorded and posted on the Pure Volume website. My brother just sent a link to the Warped people, to see if they'd respond. Apparently they went to the website, listened to the four songs posted there, and responded with an invitation to try out.

    We're not going to do it, but it's nice to see that maybe there's some potential there before we even put together a demo or do any shows.
    If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

      Hey SoCal,

      You should invite me to be part of your band. I don't really play any instruments (some harmonica), but I dance funny, can perform decent backup vocals, and I can do art design and motion graphics.

      (plus I always wanted to be a rock star)

        This is pretty cool SoCal. I long have had a dream to be the lead singer/guitarist in my own punk band called Less Effective.

          If you ever get around to that, and need a stage artist and dancing gimp (that can play harmonica) drop me a line.

                I think we need to come up with good band names for the group.

                That Guy and the Chachis. Or maybe just shorten it to The Chachis(the band would then wear Ts with with no sleeves)

                  It would be my third greatest dream come true (I'm currently living the first two).

                      You would be better off playing the lead guitar and letting Gidget handle the lead singer role.

                        you have a band?
                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
