and please don't lynch me :0)
Ok,
now I know how lots of musos feel about this but please dont slag me off too much..lol.
I am seriously considering branching out into Karaoke... (pause for jeers, boos and throwing of hard items).... No, I mean SERIOUSLY!!. I have all the gear and at the moment my compadré is taking a break to sort out his work so I'm at a loose end.
As part of the project I was thinking of doing themed nights (ABBA, Elvis, swing etc) so.. as serious rockers would any of you lot consider attending a rock themed night?
Heres why you might: I have loads of rock karaoke files from Motorhead to Mettalica (one of which ive posted here).
If you are a frustrated singer with a band (drummer, bass player, we know who you are, lol) it could be a chance to vent that frustratuion and step up front. Lead singers, if you are thinking of suggesting a number to the lads but arent quite sure your vocals are up to it you can try it out before you make that suggestion. You never know, you might have a good night out..lol.
As you can see Karaoke files are long past the "ice crean van" tinny sounds of the past. Played through my Mackie PA they make some serious noise! All this and a full lightshow thrown in (Pars,pins,lasers.floods,effects.scanners,smoke).
So...waddayathink?..Heres the website currently under construction www.dukebockspartytrain.webeden.co.uk if you want any more info.
Oh..and venues..please dont hesitate to get in touch if you fancy putting on one of these nights :0)
