Henrý is very busy, he's a dad now, if you guys didn't know ;-)</p> <p>Varði just finished his masters in music composition from Brooklyn College, and is planning his next steps, etc, I'm sorry but I can't give a proper account of what's going on with the other guys -- just myself:</p> <p>I'm living mixed between Iceland and The Netherlands and Germany right now, and trying to get myself a damned university degree before I become an old bastard, for me at least, music is a passion not a living -- and I guess that's the way for most of us. Sometimes our passions are forced aside by our living :-(</p> <p>I doubt anyone comes here anymore, but just in case... well, hibernation is happening/something... </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/razmo-plastic-spatzo-meter#post-783 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:43:47 +0000 solar 783@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Yes...

I've also been thinking about doing a project here on the community. It is well possible to make Death &#38; Resurrection available as Live Projects for remixing. That way we could make a remix album, with all the members contributing. </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-714 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:51:01 +0000 vardi 714@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>that's true man. i think also, that if i would play drums, i wouldn't have to go to yoga or sauna or even weightlifting. i mean playing drums is a good workout. i recommend it for everyone in this community. </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-710 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:31:56 +0000 Breakfastime 710@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>San Antonio last weekend was pretty god, played in a little dive called "JIggers" which I'd never heard of. SA is kinda weird-it's a HUGE city with a tiny underground rock scene. very Metal oriented, SA probably has the highest rate of displaced metal guitarists doing time in bands playing other styles. So we played with a roots rock band that featured a metal guitarist! Great! Nothing like some old-time rock and roll complete with Van Halen style shred solos!</p> <p>But another really cool band we played with was Austin's SEDIUM-these guys are really cool, kinda hard to classify:<br /> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sedium" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/sedium</a></p> <p>Check 'em out and see what you think. Tell 'em BT sent ya! </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-703 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 23:53:54 +0000 Breakfastime 703@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Yes, the rams are still going...playing San Antonio tonight, played here in town at some 'hot' club, good crowd, funny kind of scene...</p> <p>We ain't been fired from our Monday night thing, and the rest of the week is always pretty full. Next week we have another three gigs-Monday, Wed (at another one of them 'hot' new bars) and Sat at another KAOS radio thing.</p> <p>So that's been going along.</p> <p>Soukous band is still working every week, as the weeks go by we've been recording ourselves with just the one mic, I'm fixin' to start doing our first multi track stuff maybe starting this Sunday...</p> <p>...and Bark Hard has a gig in Florida in May '08. Some punk festival. So I better start practicing the drums. </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-702 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 23:02:05 +0000 HonkyTonkSamurai 702@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>damn BT thats rough....<br /> but atleast you still got the Rams right?<br /> *expecting a "actually......."* </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-697 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 11:52:27 +0000 steinn 697@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Varði: then you'd be able to record *everything* yourself basically.. pull off a NIN ;-) </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-694 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:08:15 +0000 vardi 694@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>i have to learn to play drums </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-688 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:04:16 +0000 henry 688@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Haha.. damn man.. Bad day for BT the guitarist, great day for BT the drummer? :) </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/fired-twice-in-one-day#post-687 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:58:28 +0000 Breakfastime 687@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Well, I finally got out of the dreadful guitar gig with singer/songwriter Natalie Zoe.</p> <p>She fired me (and very angrily, too) for opting out of a free happy hour gig and instead driving to Houston to rehearse with my old punk band Bark Hard for a big show w/Angry Samoans.</p> <p>So then I got to Houston, and found out that BH drummer Scott had 'injured' himself and wasn't able to do the gig. So, we rented a drumset and started rehearsing -with me on drums.</p> <p>I hadn't played a drumset in 7 years, at least not for more than two minutes, and just goofing around at that.</p> <p>So we worked for about 6 hours, i got my chops back into decent shape, and we did the gig. It went real well, only...now I'm the drummer in Bark Hard-yep, I got fired from my guitar spot in that band.</p> <p>Fired twice in one day! </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/well-we-landed-our-weekly-gig#post-633 Thu, 18 Oct 2007 02:32:41 +0000 Breakfastime 633@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Well, we ain't been fired yet! Things slowed down there for a couple of weeks, starting to pick up again. This week we had a good crowd of walk-ins, Lyle Lovett played across the street and his show ended around 11...right as we got started.<br /> It was a pretty wild night...celebrities and everything!</p> <p>Plus, we picked up a short notice spot at a new club (for us anyhow) and played there last night.</p> <p>And then we play again at another new (for us) place south of town on Thursday night...whew!</p> <p>So my evil plan of having a regular weekly gig is starting to pay off...people are walking in off the street, bands are inviting us onto their bills, people are giving us contacts, and we have a standing offer from a pretty well known guy to produce a demo for us.</p> <p>Strangely, as this thing (Ramifications) starts to grow legs...some of my other gigs aren't fairing so well...but that's another story/thread. </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/new-york#post-495 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 23:56:52 +0000 vardi 495@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>apparantly you can make a lot of money here doing that. i've seen more then a few people on the subways, although i don't know if they need a special permission or not. </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/new-york#post-489 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 20:24:33 +0000 henry 489@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>Cool. So you can jam to stuff on a CD if you decide to go busking. :D</p> <p>Which begs the question: Do people busk in New York? </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/new-york#post-488 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 20:21:56 +0000 vardi 488@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>the only thing i know, is that its some sort of japanese remake. bought it at mazzotti's music in brooklyn on 3rd avenue, which is a cool store, with lots of weird stuff. the amp is a crate taxi, which is a street amp, with a battery one input for guitar, another for vocals, and a stereo rca input </p> http://andrymi.com/community/topic/new-york#post-485 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 20:15:51 +0000 henry 485@http://andrymi.com/community/ <p>I dig that guitar.
