Red Soldier.

We have been together for a year this April. My friend has been guitar and lead vocals and I drummer, but I am changing to bass and we are going to find a drummer. We are also kind of grungy but always changing.

We're also recording an EP currently.

My dad and I play stuff together on the guitar and mandolin.  We call ourserves Captain Sam and the Bait Boys.  Its plural because my brother was supposed to play too but he never learned an instrument.

You should call yourselves The Mac'ncacnters!

Dude that rules, I'm gonna use that.

We'e been together (3 of us anyway) since September 2000, and with our lead guitarist since May 2003. We changed our name from Revenant to Through the Veil last month. Still working on the new website as I've already said.

We're in the process of recording new material as well. Going into the studio (mac based, yay!) on the 11th I think. Recording some new stuff, re-recording some old stuff so we can get a better mix. If anyone wants to hear us, I'll link to our song Gem, which sounds the least smurf out of all of them. Me on vocals and rhythm guitar which you can't always hear because we didnt finish mixing.

I do most of my own stuff, thanks to Garage Band, so I guess I'm a one-man band. I play guitar and bass, and some keys, and use Drums on Demand for my percussion.

On MacJams, I have teamed up with some talented musicians to do some songs, so that's sort of a virtual band thing there.

i'm in a "band" with a buddy of mine... we call ourselves "The Greatest Rock Show On Earth Ever" and "Acoustic Thunder Duo"...

we've only played two gigs so far with our third this coming friday at a new bar in Birmingham...

mainly covers, a few originals... just getting our feet wet and all... we'll be playing a festival in Aiken, SC on April 1st... crazy stuff!

Been in several bands, the last one was Fury for Another, we put out a record on Smorgasbord Records ("X Marks the Spot" comp, Hatebreed's 1st 7") back a few years ago, produced by Brian McTernan (Strike Anywhere, Cave In, Thrice).

I also have a project I am working on thats in a sort of Swiz/ Dag Nasty/ Absolution/ Sonic Youth meets Metallica (circa Master of Puppets) tossed in a blender.

I'm in a band.  We play five or six nights per week on the Strip in Las Vegas, depending upon where we're playing.  We've been at the Paris Hotel/Casino for about the past six months, and will be there for a total of nine or ten months this year.  When we're not at the Paris we play at Harrah's, The Rio, The Venetian, The Aladdin, Luxor, MGM (though they've demolished the room we played in, so I doubt we'll be back there any time soon), or Excalibur.  We're generally booked between 48 and 50 weeks a year. 

It's a very, very cool job to have, but, unfortunately, it's often still a job.

I can proudly say I am in the laziest, most unmotivated band ever.

We've been together for 2 and a half years, and we have yet to name ourselves.
By default, I refer to us as Fill Kolllignyetts (pronounced Phil Collins, of course).

Oh, and, ivanjs, I have The Cow Song on my iPod
