HistoryCrow (Doog/Mike/Mike Band) Demos

It seems Griff put it upon himself to upload some unfinished demos on our behalf, but this is me and Mike's "band" aka PANCAKES! Two brief pop affairs for your listening 'pleasure', me on lead/right guitar, synth an backing vox, Mike on bass, Mike#2 (Griff) on most of the vox and left guitar.
Deserves it's own thread. Some people were interested in hearing our steez, here are two early examples.

in the meantime we've got regrets and cigarettes.

one of the best lines I've heard in a song in a long time man.

Which one of you did vox?

Dealightfully listened thrice over. Full of sugarcoated win, I loved the Albarnesque moments on Where We Used to Live.

All hail the drummer, 4-star Gen. MIDI!

Cheers guys.

OtherMike (griff) is doing the lead vox at the moment, and the backing stuff on there at the moment is all sung by Doog. I'll be adding backing vocals soon enough but these are fairly early demos still. It's a fun band to be in though, I'm enjoying playing the bass.

rocking the pbass? I just played bass in a band for a gig after only playing guitar, it was so much fun. Something about 4 strings is just lovely.

Yup, although recently I've been borrowing Doog's Jazz bass rather than lug it across Lahnden. I play it at home loads though, great thing.

Bass is hella fun. I was a bassist before guitar got involved. It's really great to lock into a groove with the drummer and let the guitarists go silly. Basses can be more challenging than guitars, especially rhythm wise. If you're not locked in with the drummer at a gig or if you nail a bad note, people really really notice it, whereas guitarists can totally get away with that kind of stuff.

Thanks for the kind words chaps- it's all quite a poppy affair at the moment and we're working on a "group dynamic" a little, but it's definitely fun.

There's a new semi-finished demo up on the myspace now, if you're interested 'Mountain Song'. Imma protest to have this renamed to a non-Jane's Addiction title.

Needs chorus/outro vocals, but it's getting thaaar.

I'm sure everyone else is just stunned into silence by my tasty bass playing on this new jam.

There are some more unfinished demos crying out for more vocals, but I will control my wide eyed excitement in future!

Not strictly History Crow stuff, but put up a couple of demos from the weekend. Time will tell whether they go anywhere, or wither on the vine.
