Videos Of One Of My Bands [View all]

This is the 3 piece that we had as a side project. Called the Apollo Project, because the only bass we had at that time (other than our regular bass player's stuff) was the piece of junk called an Apollo.
As I was a piano player, I understood bass, and as a guitar player, I knew where the notes were. So, I became the bass player. In this clips, I've been playing bass for a couple months
These are from a Battle Of The Bands. Had to pick 3 songs off their list 2 weeks before the date. At the Battle we being no gear. Play what's there. Instruments, amps, pedals, everything. A "picks & sticks" contest, because that's all we could bring. Guitar picks & drumsticks.
Each band had 20 minutes. Actually less, because each band had to off stage in time to let the next band set up. If a band caused the next band to be late, they get disqualified.
These are in the order we played them. As the 3rd one (Zombies) was covered by Santana, we decided to end the song like Soul Sacrifice. (OH, and on that song the harmonies are messed up when the guitar player forgot the words. Since I didn't know what he was going to sing, I had to sit out.) Also, in the intro I call it a hobby band. That's true. The four piece lineup was the actual endeavor.
Hope you enjoy.
