I think I'm patient. I'm willing to wait (most times) for things to happen, or to get/earn stuff. I got an email from a band today, looking for a bassist. Never heard of these guys before, the Lund Bros. Based on the email, they're a two-piece currently. They have a bunch of songs and from what I heard, they're FUCKIN GREAT! Power-pop, thick harmonies, and not boring! Right up my alley.
Anyway, I wrote them back, hopefully without sounding too eager, that I wanted to try them out. Fired off the email and waited. And waited some more. Then some more. Checked once more: Inbox (1)! Woohoo! They wanted me to learn some songs and then get back to them. So now I'm stuck at work where there are 3 people on 17 beds and it's damn dead before I can go home and start woodshedding. Plus, then I gotta eat dinner and then do the kids routine (dinner, baths, bed). Hopefully Riley S. lets us be tonight and sleeps a bit. That little punk has been terrible at sleeping. Only likes to sleep with Mom, and only when Mom sleeps. Does wonders for the sex life, that's for sure!
So this band, Lund Bros., sounds a bit Cheap Trick-ish, with some Posies thrown in for good measure. I know I'm putting the cart before the horse, but C'MON MAN! It's time for The Kid to get a musical break. These guys sound like the real deal and I think I want to be a part of it.
