Hey peeps. Our band, it seems is lacking in certain key areas of an ideal band, namely, a keyboardist and vocalistS. As of now, I'll be a singer!! =) So cool. Due to certain disruptions to our current jamming schedules, we are unable to organise a proper session. But we in un-band do not grow slack so easily.
We have out-sourced an additional bassist in China who may indicate interest in joining our band. But of course, we still have vacancies for other instruments as well. Spread the word around.. un-band is the band to be in if you wanna chill, hang out and have a ball of a time.
Tommorrow is founder's day, where all those from the AllCanSwim family gather and celebrate the founding of our gr8 sch00l.
The band members are considering opening an email account to keep up with the times and to facilitate with the huge orders of interested fans =) So stick around for updates ^^
EDIT: WE got an email! woohoo ok all you fans out there fret not... un-band is LIVE ON THE NET w00t. Catch us at weareun.band@gmail.com ! Yes, its un-band with a dash but gmail stinks ok. We dont have a dash but a dot will do. Cheers

suggestions
Well so far things have been going great I suppose. Anyway any song requests or anything? Just throw out song names that are playable. I openly state that I do not have double bass skills whatsoever, despite my feeble attempts. Sadly, we may be parted from Gaby who has gone to further her studies in a monastery near Balestier but we shall still meet occasionally and have fun. One of these days we should just book a studio and like just whoever wants to come and mess around just come. So that we can maybe find hidden talent?
OK i just read how super cool the yamaha clearance sale was...but anyway I'd have to queue up real long and all so oh well. I'd rather put those hours into earning lots of money next time so I won't need clearance sales. Oh yes I wonder what stuff I should get in this year's june sale.

I am Singaporean
Today at 10.00 am in the morning, I opened yesterday's classified and chanced upon a CLEARANCE SALE!!!!@!@!@!
I flipped to the second page of the classified and i scrolled my eyes down to Class 72 and saw the huge ad which says CLEARANCE SALE @ Yamaha Music Clementi Auditorium. I saw the list of instruments for sale at discount and my eyes opened wide. Yes, my friends, we can now afford music intruments without having to resort to devious methods hehe.
This particular sale is from the 22nd to the 24th of Feb. <--- sucks. So get em while stock last. Alrighty mates. On a different note (lol), the un-banders have returned from an awesome party yesterday which had everything except a cool band on stage (duh.. we were on the floor groovin to recorded tapes). Aside from that, we had a great time of chillin and dancin and playin squirrel and tree. Thanks to the oldies which made this so happenin. And for the red bull which cos my brain to screw up and Go Wild! (=
I noticed that un-band is lackin someone talented in the realm of expressing vocal noise... Also, Ive been practising singin alot in the rain where the soap and the showerhead lie. Perhaps, after taking a vote, we could include singers! woohooo!

The Unband is a hard rock band composed of drummer Eugene Ferrari, lead singer and guitarist Matthew Pierce, and Mike Ruffino (bass, guitars, vocals, keyboards). Their music paraphrases punk, glam, 80s heavy metal, and 1970s rock and roll, with notably disencumbered song structures characterized by a lyrical content mainly organized around "partying", "rocking" and related matters. The band is often associated in print with now ubiquitous misspellings such as "rawk" and "stoopid", as attempts are made to denote a perceived ironic, tongue-in-cheek foundation for the group's otherwise inexplicable attitude.
Cited as a musical inspiration by numerous rock bands of more recent origins, in the course of a career spanning three decades, The Unband came to be regarded for gleefully self-destructive escapades and an unexclusive lack of subtlety as much as for its musical output.

zomg. i think like perhaps this is another unband? which is like really bad news guys cos there cant be two unbands. there are laws against it i think. i read it in a book. and like crap, i really thought the article was referring to us until i read this line:
"their casually unapologetic stage show owed to alcohol, sacks of "prop" drugs, frontal nudity, LSD-fueled odessey, drinking feats, projectile vomiting and other depraved improvisations, as well as a tendency toward formal evening-wear."
because i really really do not like formal evening wear :(
do you boys know how uncomfortable it is wearing a corset???
anyways, like i think we should change our name or something. what about "un dash band"? then when we have our own roa-dies, we can call them our undies haha lol im so random. okthatsitforme bye!!!!!!!!!!

the freshmaker and the loner
Well thank you to the people who have been making un-band ever so popular by promoting it in your msn nick names, and telling all your friends about us. So I hear that m3nt0s is keen on joining the ever so cool un-band. Well we'll have to see how pro you are m3nT0s.
On the more musical note, today I'd like to introduce one of my favorite songs.

The Abduction of Rift Raft
un-band welcomes future bassist, rift raft rob! Rift Raft Rob shot the sheriff and killed the deputy, and basses aren't the only things he slaps. Watch out Gaby! Rift Raft has been learning music for several years, and studied in the Music University Situated In China, a.k.a. MUSIC. He finished his course but did not receive a certificate as he shot his lecturer on graduation day. We are looking forward to the character and talent that rift raft rob brings to the table. Hopefully he brings char kway teow as well.
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:

[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
Hello
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:

[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:

[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
Unfortunately so.
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:
Well I'll be. Anyway I'm MStick, drummer for the up and coming un-band, with a dash. We feel we need a bad boy in the band, do you think you could spice it up?
[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
Spice? Im known for reckless aSalts
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:
Good enough I suppose. So how long have you been playing your instrument?
[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
Since... it was taller than me
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:
Wow. That can't be very long.
[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
._.
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:
Anyway, glad to have you on board. but first I must ask, what is your view on female guitarists.
[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
Ooo if they are on the guitar probably means they have some attitude!
[Rift Raft Rob] strikes back says:
I like attitude.
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:
Nice.
[MStick] i don't. but un-band does! says:

This Love - Maroon 5
Genre: (as of year 2005 - pop-rock)
Album: Songs about Jane
While not one of my favorite songs or anything, I come across many maroon 5 songs while drumming. The first few times I heard This Love, the stuff that stuck most in my head were the bass line and the rather humorous but nice sounding harmonizing vocals in the ending choruses.
Anyway, for now I shall simply comment on what this song means to me, and I don't mean lyrically. I feel, that this song can be played in practically any style; from rock to jazz to afro-cuban. It just has so much room to operate with, and a very strong groove going from the bass line and guitar. It's really an awesome song for beginners to play, and get those creative juices flowing. What I like to do is add even more bass drum notes but accent the proper ones, and just take note of certain parts of the song where the original drum groove/fill is very suitable for transition etc. An example of this is from the bridge back to the chorus (Cos I know that's what you want me to do) - on the "to do" its just a 3 note phrase; 4 and e on the snare and a on the tom. So go around doing crazy fills throughout the bridge then just like have a whole note on want or something then do the fill for "to do" heheh.
Any questions bout the song feel free to ask MStick by a) commenting b) asking Gaby to ask MStick by commenting c) email at surfzrup@gmail.com for now.
In a rush, hope this was ... at least a bit entertaining and somewhat educational. I'll add more to the post in future.

Introduction.
Hi, we're un-band. We do not represent the united nations. This blog is meant to serve as an interactive platform for us to communicate with you and ourselves. Here we will share our views and analysis of beautiful music such as pianorokr's original song, satellite. We hope that you will learn a lot, and if you don't at least support our imaginary music which will one day be not so imaginary. Remember, if you don't tell your friends about us, then you have no friends.
