That's excellent mate. Saves on all that lugging stuff around. Looks a real nice place also.Heston wrote: ↑24 Jul 2020, 3:47pmRented mate.

Re: Post your own music
Our spot was much shittier than yours and we had to pay $96 per bandmember, split between three bands. So it was roughly $1,000/mo. America!Heston wrote: ↑24 Jul 2020, 3:47pmRented mate.

Re: Post your own music
We've got enough songs written Dave and rough demos done. I'd like to think it's a possibility somewhere down the line but the gigs are already coming thick and fast after the lockdown and it's tough juggling life with music sometimes. All the band have kids and jobs and it's just about finding the time. Damn, I wish I was 21 again.

Holy shit, that's a tough one mate. We're lucky that the place we rehearse is like a co-operative. The guy who runs it is in one of the bands and basically doesn't profiteer from it.

My daughter liked your song by the way. Every few weeks I put together a CD of stuff I've grabbed from various places for the car. She mostly rolls her eyes at the shit I play, but she was nodding along approvingly.

Re: Post your own music
Thanks mate. I always enjoy playing live even though it's stressful until I know all the equipment etc is working ok. I've always had this deep seated fear of technological breakdown.
