it's all a little thin to me

to many direct recorded instruments (gits) not enough mic's

should amp the keyboard too, it'll sound better.

somehow none of it really meshes as a song, it sounds like a random assortment of instruments, not a band.

it's clean enough for a demo for sure, but it lacks charcter.

use more mic's, don't be afarid to spend time on placement.
 
Thanks for the comments, 'giraffe'.
I know everything is thin! I told them : Let´s MIC the GUIT with the Marshall and the bass with the GK. They said : we don´t have money to record the instruments one by one...
So we went everything Direct...
They´re not paying the mix, I´m doing it just to practice...

'somehow none of it really meshes as a song, it sounds like a random assortment of instruments, not a band'
Any tips on this issue?
 
it's hard to say without being thare to play withit myselfe
but, carefully chosen reverbs may help make them sound a little more like a band (a little more live, hopefully)

you have to somehow over come the "antiseptic" feel of the direct recording
in a way (it's hard to explain) it's almost to clean.

just play, you can get it.
