I decided to attempt to find a mandolin player. It would really help the mafia theme

. This is gonna be hard though, as I don't know any.

\m/ Real nice

Here's a snippet of a bass line I'm working on for one song. I improved it a lot since I last recorded it but I'll upload it anyway (I doubled up the notes and made it less repetitive, but I'm too lazy to re-record

).

It's uploaded here (I'll upload lot's here actually... keep you guys from getting bored

): http://netham45.org/speler/Ska%20Album/

Skank away!

EDIT: As you can probably tell from the style I'm playing this line, I really really really want a Chapman stick

.

Nice, i hope to hear it with more stuff soon tho

We successfully played through 4 of the songs today (and one more that the guitarist pulled out of nowhere). Unfortunately some of the songs had to really be slowed down.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and we have a name, Crank the Skank

Just got off the phone...

I'm playing a show with Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Less Then Jake, Mustard Plug, etc (i.e. some of the biggest names in modern ska) on July 10.

I plan on posting all of the lyrics in a bundle, they won't make sense except when viewed together (which is part of the beauty of the project)

I would love to see some samples/lyrics/artwork for this, I really hope you go far in your musical endeavor!

I found a singer. Actually, he's probably the most talented trumpet player in the High School, but he's just gonna sing for us (and write some horn lines).
