Singer needed

nice toons, why don't you just sing em yourself?

I like the tunes. would be willing to sing, but I'm no better than you are in those songs.

Singing suits the music. Use that guy. If that guy is unavailable then I don't know.

why thank you - i suppose i could, but i'm no frontman. i'm more a just-plays-the-songs man.

see, this guy, he's a frontman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfYcKNqQoJo&feature=fvwrel

i could try if you want. at least one user here could vouch for my ability, 'pro attitude', etc.

though, agree with comments above, you're doing fine without a 'frontman'. the songs stand up without one.

Love the 2nd tune when the guitar line comes in at the chorus. Good stuff !

sweet, well hook us up with some kind of demo or something!

and i appreciate this barrage of compliments guys, it is very nice of you to say nice things.

but... think about it: what if Mick Jones sang lead in the Clash, or Pete Townsend in the Who... those bands would obviously be less good. so, IF the right lead singer exists, that's who i'm looking for.

looch. oh, you.

Wavves, EMA, Real Estate, Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti, Times New Viking, Cults, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Autolux, mclusky, Dinosaur Jr, Guided By Voices, Nirvana, The Replacements, The Smithereens, Buzzcocks, Cheap Trick, Queen, The Zombies, The Who, The Beatles, Motown hits of yore.

The osund in my head of what such a band would sound like is no doubt much mroe awesome than reality.

PROVE ME WRONG BOYS, PROVE ME WRONG

This is the first time I have ever seen chats reply earnestly to a band classified. Did I miss something?

JRB, you're right - it is perhaps too awesome for this world... but we can always dream.

They have good tunes and no attitude, so best of luck to them. I like the vox on the demos too, lead singers can kill a band.

cheers LG! but, in Guns n Roses's'sss case, even with the most cuntish of frontmen, there'd have been no band to kill in the first place without him...

credit where credit's due

so you write the songs/lyrics/everything zombo?

and you want to find some extrovert bez-figure to be the 'personality', while you'd remain the actual reason people were listening?

doesn't make sense to me, but it's your vision i guess so best of luck

personally i reckon dw about finding a front man. other musicians maybe, but not a member whose only contribution would be 'vibes'

and you want to find some extrovert bez-figure to be the 'personality', while you'd remain the actual reason people were listening?

Or like, Greg Ginn in Black Flag - the BRAINS of the operationnn.

But yeah, you can always develop a 'thing'. I mean you'll probably be a bumbling wreck for the first 15 gigs, but then one day it'll all hopefully work. I DUNNNO. Having a good looking lead singer helps sell rekordds.

a Bez could be handy actually... i have an over-reliance on tambourines, so their work's cut out.

Bez always knows where to get the best pillz as well

nice lyrical concept in ''Literary Classics'' there

hahaha. that is not true. but thank you.

doing the bump... if you sing, have demo, like my songs, and like at least a quarter of the influences, give us a hoy. that is all.

Dude, take the hint, you're good! Charismatic front men are shit half the time, your demos are good enough to stand up on their own. You've got a lot of people here with good opinions telling you the same. I'd rather see a mild-mannered frontman than some cunt gaffa taped onto the front of a band to bring the attitude. At least try fronting for a gig or two to see how it goes.

i appreciate that ghoti, but obviously if i agreed i wouldn't be looking for a singer. i may end up having to sing, but there's no harm seeing who's around before i do. basically if i can avoid it i will. gaffa taped cunts are not good, but i don't believe there isn't at least someone better for the job around.

gday guys, in the unlikely event that anyone remembers this and is interested, this band now exists, and is playing its first gig this Tuesday at the Public Bar in North Melb at 7pm. (that's not doors, we're actually on at 7.) if you want to listen/like/follow/and shit, go to http://www.facebook.com/ohmsband Cheers folx

songs sound great and different to how i remember the demos. excellent and unexpected choice of singer.

yeah she's great hey! wasn't what i was expecting either

Really liking those demos. Nice one zombo.

thanks bruz.

black wasp, yours are excellent and unexpected choices of Singers too.

Not too late I hope!

this '(x) needed' thread has been very suspiciously supportive

suspiciously, eh?

this thread was actually my first ever post on this site. considering the general level of derision band classifieds often get, it started as a terrifying experience but it quickly became a pleasurable one.

Mick Jones did sing in The Clash. Probably 25% of the time. On some of the better songs too

Yeah, he also sang lead in B.A.D. and B.A.D. II

Yeah BAD suck though

Yeah, they also didn't have Joe Strummer singing 75% of their songs, if you know what I mean.

my point, i think, was that those guys weren't ''the lead singer'', even despite singing some of the time.

And for the record, I don't actually think BAD sucked. Their first album actually holds up fairly well, for all the coke and ganja likely consumed.

dig the songs and the singer

thank you, God!
