Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

Sideman!

Remember how I bought a Peavey T-40 bass? There’s a reason for that. I’ve joined a band, playing bass for Explone. We rehearse once a week or so, and we’ll be recording (in a real studio!) in June.

I’ve been a big fan of Patrick’s tunes for a few years, so I thought the gods were testing me when I saw his ad on Craigslist for a bassist. It’s taken me a little while to get back on the horse after being a solo musician for so long, but I’m learning to re-socialize myself. It’s also the height of awesome to rock out again with a group, work on my chops and engage in music scene gossip with real, live beer-drinking humans.

That’s something I’m not getting from kicking it with FL Studio in the Folkhole. Anyway, I’ll be posting about my New Adventures In Rawk as they happen, but you can check out some current Explone tunes here.

  1. And spinhead did speak thusly:

    Bass players are the foundation of rock.

    Big step up there, just being a guitar-playing singer to playing bass.

    tee hee. man, I hope the rest of those guitar-playing folks don’t know where I live and come beat me up. (and maybe I’ll even get to listen to some Explone)

  2. And jim did speak thusly:

    Very cool man! Congrats!

  3. And Erik did speak thusly:

    Awesome! I still remember you enthusing about Explone in a blog post a few years back.

    I’ve been thinking lately about how much you can learn by playing on other people’s songs, and also by spending time with instruments that aren’t your main one. So I bet this’ll be good for you. And, oh yeah, fun.
