Thinking of forming a synth pop band (1 Viewer)

[Alan Remorse]

i know very few keyboardists, especially ones that are into this stuff and actually know their shit... if anyone thinks of someone they'd know who'd be into it then let me know...

i've been trying to compile a complete list of influences, for the sake of anyone else looking at this thread, so here goes:

Numbers, Postal Service, American Analog Set, Lali Puna, Mates Of State, M83, Trans Am, Soft Cell, Kraftwerk, Ms John Soda, Notwist, Anniversary, Koufax... i'm sure i'll think of more...

 

[Alan Remorse]

by the way, here's a link to the amazing remix of american analog set's "the postman".. just in case anyone hasn't heard it yet

words cant describe how much i love this

 

[oh shit]

you forgot to list 'salaryman'
you're clearly too mainstream for me to make your day

 

[trev]

we jammed last thursday, was deadly actually

whos gonna be eugene? you or noel?

 

[Alan Remorse]

whos gonna be eugene? you or noel?

ha, maybe you should ask ratmonkey that... many's the night we've whiled away discussing the unveling of my goolies onstage

 

[HalfHunter]

i am very up for this and i have lots of cool synths...but you live in cork? your loss i guess.

unlikely i'll find the people for this here but hey
numbers, koufax, anniversary, mates of state
anybody interested PM me
moog owners especially welcome

 

[plug]

or maybe yours...

especially the living in dublin part weh weh!!!

But like, would you not want to start a GOOD pop band, that just so happen's to use synths, rather than being in a "synth pop band", you know what I mean?

 

[oh shit]

no sean
death before guitar pop

 

[mel gibson]

crap and i just got my lovely korg ms-10 modular! pity your in cork!!

 

[Alan Remorse]

ah well...

by the by, i would consider synth-pop a certain style of music, rather than "pop"
just saying "i want to form a pop band" is a bit non-descript really

bumpo
stuck up my first ever "musicians wanted" sign the other day
how undignified

 

[Wilbert]

I've got a korg polysix that I can't play, will that do?

You may be overqualified.

Not as undignified as prancing around in a yellowing pair of Michael Guiney's finest.

 

[Alan Remorse]

ok, so a starting line-up is nearly complete
we still need that elusive fourth member though

basically we need someone who can play keyboards and a bit of guitar... it would be nice if i could switch between the two myself, so having someone who could play both would be handy...

anyone?

 

[Junglebob]

Where would this band be based???

 

[MrT]

You and everyone else in dublin

unlikely i'll find the people for this here but hey
numbers, koufax, anniversary, mates of state

[Alan Remorse]

[coldspoon con]

Hey Alan,
did you ever get this band off the ground?

Sounds like a lost cause to me...
