Gerg's right...
What happens when the band folds (like all bands do)...will you be able to reverse/remove that...or will it be like a tattoo of an ex-girlfriend's name?
Why not just tack some Xmas lights around the head....![]()

The lighting in my studio is an assortment of Christmas lights, low wattage par cans and clip lights pointed at the ceiling, and table lamps. The ceiling light only comes on when I'm looking for something. Why is everydamnthing we musicians have BLACK???I use small halogen spots throughout my studio...and I found out that I could use colored lighting gels with them, since they each have a small metal clip that holds the glass UV filter in place. I have a few sheets of various gels, so I cut small circles to fit the halogen lights, and now I have stage lighting in my studio!
I only use 25W halogen bulbs…so the gels last a real long time!
When my drummer buddy comes over...he won't play unless I turn on the lights for the drum kit.
I have a few other “mood” lights in the studio and very often I’ll just use the colored halogens and them when I’m recording, rather than turning on the boring white lights in the room.
The actual plan is to get a stencil of my band name and have the led illuminating that through the front grille of an amp.
Then you and your band mates could dress in sequined jump suits with capes and platform shoes. Don't forget the fog machine and the disco balls hanging from the ceiling.
No you're right, we'll stick to standing perfectly still in an adequately lit room. We'll just play the CD and mime as well.
Might as well. An empty room doesn't know the difference.
OH NO HE DIDN'T!
...Fuckin did though. Empty bastarding room last night. I love driving 2 hours to find we've brought more people to the gig in our cars than the local band who live next door to the venue has. The local band that are so awful everyone leaves....well we leave.
That sucks but this is why I laugh at you. Why do you bother? You were born into the worst possible era to be a gung-ho band guy.![]()
Bother because i/we love writing and performing music![]()
I do too, but 2 hours to "perform" to an empty room?
You could do that at home.
Yeah that's true, but you never know the deal until you get there do you. The promoter promised "loads of people will come to see the headline band" and "people are usually there anyway as its free". Obviously its taken with a pinch of salt but still.
Wasn't quite empty. +i got told my guitar playing was "unreal" by someone. +as usual my brother (drums) received many compliments.
+you never know who you're playing in front of. 1 day one of the 10 people in the audience might be a roadrunner scout![]()
