Yay, we're back in person! ... shit, that means I can't just overdub myself on video a billion times over.
Let's organize our band lineups for the Denver show.
For my set I plan on singing and playing guitar, and I would really like to have keyboard and drums. Bass and backing vocals might also be nice as well.
I am available to help others out with drums, keys, and backing vocals.

I can support you with a polka bass line on Friday night only, if you don't get a better offer.

You have evolved beyond polka, and also, cool, you're coming!

I will also be looking for help. Let me know if you are interested in participating in some old time fun.

How about switching it up and playing keyboard?

I dunno, that might be more than my poor wrists can handle.

If there is more demand for drummers than fluffy and Ken want to meet I offer myself as a third-tier drummer option. I don't actually have access to a kit to practice on anymore, though, sadly. The best I could do is listen to your songs a bunch so I know them and mentally prepare, then rehearse a bit on the day at the venue (which is also the rehearsal space). Also I can only offer relatively basic rock drumming skills and no elaborate drum fills and if your song has a lot of complex time signature changes or very very specific things the drums have to do, I probably can't do that. Hope that helps?

While Brookes and I can do a two person version of LW/RG, this is a gathering of Songfighters so it might be more fun to do it with a full band.

I have a local drummer friend who said he was free for the show days and is willing to be a mercenary drummer.

I am still quite available for drums for folks. I'm not confident in my ability to do keys though, my brain's pretty fried post-COVID.

I plan on playing guy and guitar. But I have one song where a backing vocalist may be good. And another where a team of random percussionists may help.

If I’m really going to play the Lunkhead set I’ve been thinking I’m going to play, I need a second guitar player, who can either play lead or rhythm. Ideally it’d be somebody who maybe doesn’t have a ton of sets on their plate already. The songs are not massively complex but they’re not super simple either. There are four songs but maybe I could cut it down to three. There's a fast punk-ish songs, a couple of early Weezer-y songs, and a very 90s alternative rock song. You’d have to really know the songs, I don’t think they’re easily sight readable off a rough chord chart. If anybody is interested and wants to hear the set let me know and I can send you a soundcloud playlist link.

Maybe split it up? I will happily be your fast punkish guitarist - but I probably cannot do the other.

Thanks for offering! My main concern was about wanting somebody to play rhythm during the guitar solos. The pop-punk song doesn't have a solo though. And I am now feeling like, if there is no rhythm guitar during the guitar solos, oh well. I will just have to try to step up and make the solos/soloing more exciting somehow.

I'm willing to offer my services to people. Want do I bring to the table? Some vocal chops. Chord based rhythm guitar fun. Good ol' roots and 5ths bass.

If you got charts, I got rhythm!

yes! this means we are looking for bass and drums, and backing vocals on one song. nothing too crazy or complicated, I don't think! though our songs are weird, I don't *think* they're particularly hard to learn or play. happy to send them ahead of time including chords, and we'll have copies with us.

I would be totally happy to do drums for you. (And lots of other people too. I haven't gotten any requests for this!)

Oh, also it looks like I'm going to need a bass player due to circumstances, and I could still use a drummer as well.
