[14/06/13] Friday Jam @ Bethnal Green

Hey guys,

I've booked a large room from Goldmine Studios. The room should accommodate up to 10 people comfortably. The booking is for 4 hours, 7PM-11PM, the total booking price is £50, which will be split evenly for each person. So if 10 people show up, it will be £5 per person.

The room has 2 guitar amps, 1 bass amp and 1 drum kit. There's a toilet and a shower, and a place to go outside for smokes.

Location: 269 Poyser Street, E2 9RF. Closest station: Bethnal Green Underground

Make a comment if I should put you on the list, with the instrument and the gear that you will be bringing.

Jammers:

  1. xska (dibs on drums)
  2. someguyz (electric guitar + cube amp)
  3. arrezzo (electric guitar)
  4. mattbailey (electric guitar)
  5. karma_fountain (electric guitar + towel)
  6. projector (drum machine / sampler)
  7. qxx6 (electric guitar)
  8. mishpotato (sax)
  9. dmagliola (drumsticksss)

EDIT: Btw, the fee will be split across all musicians. If you bring a non musician friend, then obviously the friend will not need to contribute to cover the fee.

I'm in. Looks like I don't have to bring drums for this one? What's their deal with cymbals / pedals / snare drum? Most places usually charge extra for that.

That's a good question, I'll shoot them an e-mail.

"the drumkit comes with a snare please bring your own cymbals or hire from us at £10 per sessions. All other backline is included."

Hope this helps!

That's good, I'll see if I can get my own set of cymbals beforehand, and if not I'll just hire theirs. Thanks for checking this!

No worries dude, you're our rhythm maker!

arrezzoLazer Guitar•

I have the Daft Punk riff down! Will probably have Le Chick down too! Anything else I should listen too? Do you know 'New Gold Dream by the Simple Minds?

I don't but I will check it out.

qxx6•

In with a guitar. But if there is an amp shortage it might be worth asking if we could get a mixer from the venue(or if anyone else can bring) to mix a few guitars/basses into the PA

3
arrezzoLazer Guitar•

We can take it in turns. Have a beer or fag or whatever.

Hi everyone. I really enjoyed last week. For Someguyz sake (being the blueman he is) may I humbly suggest everyone practices a blues in A,G and E.

Could everyone suggest one song they can play that they would like us all to learn. I was a bit embarrassed at my lack of 'party tunes'. I am going to try and practice the Daft Punk riff for one.

3
someguyzOPElectric Guitar•

Thanks for the suggestion! I will practice 12 bar blues in these keys, and I'll see if I can find some other easy blues rhythms to learn meanwhile.

2
arrezzoLazer Guitar•

Those youtube ones were good.

In, guitar+towel.

In with drum machine / sampler. This is an awesome idea, looking forward to it!

3

3

How heavy are these 4 hours going to be that you thought you'd need to mention there was a shower?! :\

Sounds pretty rock and roll :p

2
someguyzOPElectric Guitar•

Haha, well, if one plays like BB King or Gary Moore or Angus Young, then after the jam a regular shower will not be enough, a double shower will be needed!
