OT - Calling all musicians!

I’ve noticed a few avatars here on snuffhouse and I was curious as to who played here! I’ve been a bassplayer for 16 years. I also play guitar, all sorts of percussion, trumpet, etc. I love all music except country. I’m not into that so much. Which is funny because I live in Nashville! I was in a rock/funk band a few years ago we opened up for the Red Hot Chilli peppers and Primus. Also the band The Urge and Nada Surf. Good times :wink: I don’t play out as much these days. I’m actually looking for a band here in Tennessee. What about everyone here? Drop a line whether you play gigs every weekend or pick up a 6 string here and there- what do ya do?

I play trombone, used to play in a bar band called The Porters. We mostly played Motown and soul classics. Claim to fame, we once opened for Fishbone. All many moons ago…aside from that, I played in a local community college jazz band for 9 years, but haven’t had much time to play ever since I got married and had young’uns…

I primarily play bass, but have a whole bunch of instruments that I play equally as bad. Lately I’ve been glued to the Juno-60 as I just got it repaired. Never played a gig with a band but some of my friends I jam with are in bands.

toffeenose is the famous musician around here

I play the fiddle and the mandolin…not too much of either as I had to quit fiddle for a couple of years due to some nasty tendon injuries. Just getting back into it now, and the mandolin is a way of getting the tunes back under my fingers without dealing with the various postures/techniques involved in fiddling, which I still can’t manage for too long without pain.

@jpsks: Shhh! LOL! I have been known to play a bit of guitar here and there, yes.

bassist. Also have some electronic tracks kicking around that seem to wow a few people every now and again.

Guitar, bass, piano, ukulele, glockenspiel, melodica, drums, vocals, ocarina, kazoo, mandolin, recorder, jews harp, triangle. Without a doubt, the triangle is the hardest thing to play. And I’m not joking!!

lol @henwrench @toffeenose Are you in a band? Spill the beans already! We’re all friends here… now that the King of Garnish is gone :wink:

I play piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, musical saw, saxophones, percussion, etc.

I’m a musician, and have a band and many music projects. My main band is ASTRUM, we have our 2nd full length CD coming out soon: http://www.myspace.com/themightyastrum My solo project is KOSMOKRATER, just released it’s 4th CD recently: http://www.myspace.com/kosmokratermusic And I have a project I do with a buddy called INFERNITI, with a CD just released: http://www.myspace.com/inferniti I also have been working on some electro stuff, and that, along with a bunch of other stuff I have done is on: http://www.youtube.com/astrum502 I do mainly metal punk stuff.

No shit! @tom502 we might get along bud :wink: What do you play? I dunno what you look like so its hard to pick you out in the pix… I love metal \m/

http://thepastyproletariat.bandcamp.com this is my lo-fi folk music project. I love metal too, but mostly sludge/grind and thrash.

I play guitar, bass, and do the vocals, mainly. On ASTRUM recordings, the last CD, I did bass and vocals. On Kosmokrater I do it all, on Inferniti I do the music and my buddy does vocals. And I play keyboard too, as I do all the music on my Machine Dreams electro project. I also do the electronic percussion on Inferniti, Kosmo, and Machine Dreams.

Jack of many, master of none, but most comfy with guitar. I’ve composed for theater, jingles, original projects. I haven’t played out for a few years, and really don’t miss it. Genre-hopper.

really? that’s what I miss most- live shows! so much energy. its a whole other addiction…

I play bass, acoustic and electric (just sold my electric though). I used to play in a band, played at a bar downtown quite a bit. A band Stutterfly from the city here wanted to buy one of our songs but then they broke up =( I was going to buy a nice Fender Precision bass but I guess not

@transistor Yeah, probably a combination of age and getting sober. The equipment was getting heavier, and it was always raining. Plus, I’m not the gregarious type. The kick I get out of hearing my stuff during a play is really satisfying.

I play bass. I’ve been playing for about 13years. I’m a Precision bass kind of guy.

i play acoutsic guitar, an old beater Takamine, crossing my fingers for a beater strat or epiphone and some effect pedals for my bday coming up … but mostly fireside riots and have tried open mics … a song or two … and have strummed along with buddies who have played around town. could form some type of ramshackle snuff supergroup … big and messy like broken social scene. ha!
