I noticed on the "Wah-Wah" thread Dr.Sprock mentioned some guitar gear knowledge and such, so i'm assuming he's a musician.
I also know Mike Paul was playing bass in a band on the Hard Rock video. Is he still jamming?
Are any other members here musician/climbers in bands? If so, how about posting a link of your band's website or myspace page.
I am the guitarist in a Los Angeles based instrumental band called Iron Mtn. Our songs are a sountrack to all things climbing/hiking/nature etc. We are like Sabbath meets Krautrock, Whillans meets Messner.
Here's a link to our myspace page:
http://www.myspace.com/ironmtn
The drummer and I are also doing a side project called The White Spider Project, a sort of homage to the elusive (defunct?) route on the Eiger.

Bluering just became my new bass player.
all we need is a drummer.... for people who like to dance...
actually, i hate playing loud music since my ears shut down after the first tune, and i get real nervous and have to drink.
so, i am un plugged at the moment, because everybody wants to be louder than everybody else, and nobody likes loud music anymore.

I think we will be doing some kind of tribute to JB in the near future. Hell, I would dig doing some kind of benefit for Tyrus too.
I do know a club in Glendale that would probably let me do it.
Would Moonpie be willing to drive down to play the show If I could set it up?

I play lead guitar in a band with no name yet... we jam on Wednesday nights in downtown San Jose, have our first gig (all fun, no cash) in September. At the end of every night of practice, we've got big ol' grins on our faces :)
Classic rock from 60s to 90s-ish (Steve Miller Band, Credence Clearwater Revival, Marshal Tucker Band, Hendrix, Doors, Cream, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wallflowers?, Cranberries?, Beatles, Bob Seger, Men At Work, some modern covers from bands I don't remember, and a few originals.
I'm looking for the same setup closer to my new home (Berkeley). I found a bass player/singer who likes similar stuff, now looking for a drummer.

hey there say all.... i remember hearing-tell of "way back when" when my brother mark (chappy)was in a band... timid tightrope mentioned some of it to me, also...
say, i play the spoons, and finger cymbles... and can coach dance lessons... my cats do a bit of the "cats meow" in five-part-vocal-harmony, and patty ann can "bark up a small non-threatening-storm"....
**course, i ain't a climber... but i can always chip-in from a nearby "low-laying-rock assorment" if i'm ever nearby an ol' campfire.... ;)
edit: do some piano, after "practicing..."

Mostly "alt-countryish" stuff, if I had to put a label on it. Sometimes pretty
Sometimes dark
Usually both. I have been known to throw down War Pigs on the banjo, but not with this band. Only picked up the dobro after my talus break a year ago this week, but I am DIGGIN' it.

Hey Willoughby, that ensemble looks suspiciously bluegrass, not country. I'm not in a full time band but routinely play rhythm and flatpick with other hardcore bluegrass devotees. My main axe is a sunburst 1937 Martin D28. I'd post a picture if I knew how.

Well, we would definitely be doing more bluegrass if our guitar player were a picker, but he's not. We do a couple of uptempo bluegrassy tunes, for sure (e.g. the Meat Purveyors' Little White Pills), but it's mostly just alt-countryish (with an emphasis on the "ish"). Lots of weepy waltzes with pitiable protagonists, typically mired in heartbreak and substance abuse. Not really sure what "country" itself is anymore, so I avoid that term. Dale Watson explains the problem quite deftly, here.

Dr. Sprock- A Portaflex is my next purchase! I'm envious of your knowledge of transformers and the like... I wish I could build me an RCA BA-6A clone, I have a rough enough of a time just racking up old gear and fixing it.
In my basement I have a:
Upright piano
Hammond Organ
Fender Jaguar Guitar (Pyramid Gold Flatwounds)
Early 70's Bronco Amp
Roland Jazz Chorus Amp
Fender Rhodes Mark One Stage Piano (a '73 73 no less)
Univox Short Scale bass
Ibanez ATK Bass
Ludwig Drum kit
Couple synths.
MPC 2000
And I play them all!
And then there is the studio, we won't go there...
Obviously, I am missing a P Bass and a Portaflex! This kills me because bass was my first instrument. There is no better bass tone than that combo IMHO.
Mostly what I do is work on other people's music though, I just play all that stuff to keep me sane.

I've been a drummer since i was a kid. Right now I am not playing with anyone, but I am the original drummer for Turbo Eagle 9then I moved to the bay).
For the drum snobs out there, I have a handmade Sonor sonic plus (the early german ones) in fusion sizes, birch. Lowest-mass lugs I've ever seen, rim mounts. I play Evans coated g1 heads (open and warm, but easy to overpower) , and I have vintage 60's Tyrko german cymbals, and vintage Zildjian as well. I like dw hardware, so that's what I use.
For those of you in the bay area: I live right at the junction of the 13 and the 580 in the laurel district. I have an empty two story in my backyard, and on the top floor, looking out the bank of windows on the west wall, is my kit, and a baby grand. I would be open to a jam session, but I will not play covers unless they are rad songs. ex: a calexico or neko case or wilco song...maybe. Van morrison or somesuch...kill me now.
It's not that I don't enjoy listening to those songs, I just think if you all come together with instruments, you should create your own art.

I'm in north Berkeley Hills (Kensington) now.
I'm doing mostly covers now with the group from San Jose, but I'm very open to original stuff. I'm up for writing lyrics, melodies, and harmonic structures, and also just improvising to see what comes out.
Look out for a PM from me :)

The band I was in before dissolved after our 2nd gig (a corporate Christmas party for a San Francisco bank that went well). After almost 2 years, we recently reformed when the guy who kept us all together moved back.
We had a little backyard party in San Jose a few nights ago... didn't record most of the songs but we managed to grab a few:
Winter Time (Steve Miller Band): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhFfhmNA3Ok
Evil Ways (Santana): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZUEsk824rg
Imagine (John Lennon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NoyWfQwQc4
We had a crappy sound setup and no lighting, but it was still a lot of fun and we played a few hours after dark with neighbors in adjacent townhouses cheering rather than calling the cops on us :)

I am a musician in NYC. I play on Broadway and several area symphonies, and I have a doctoral degree in french horn. So while I am not "in a band" I get to play with a lot of really great musicians. As a freelancer I have gotten to play with Dave Brubeck and Ray Charles, and I am on several CDs. I also teach music and have some terrific students.

I started playing trombone in the fifth grade and still play now and then. Eventually, I started singing some, too. My junior year in High School, I was lucky to be a founding member of a ska band based in Fresno called "Let's Go Bowling" that is still (occasionally) gigging some 25 years later. The name of that band ended up in many summit registers in the western states...
I was also lucky to play in "Funk Missile" a super fun shake-your-butt bar band in JHole, WY for seven or eight years starting around '96. Let's see, I also played in "Mad Cow," (I'll buy you a pint if you heard that band) and a half a dozen other projects that were fun.
Music, jamming with friends, mountains, climbing, skiing...it's kind of a blur now, but that's what shaped me.

Great thread Iron Mtn. Played bass for years....Got tired of being a deckhand, took mushrooms for the first time at 47, formed a band that night, picked up guitar, started singing and songwriting. Formed the Mushrooms http://soundcloud.com/the-mushrooms and we've been playing and gigging ever since. Up to about 40 originals. So much fun to have fun and not take it seriously. Love Dr. Sprock's acoustic play list. I do a pretty fair Neil Young and love "out on the weekend". I'll be playing in the campground in TM next weekend if your around. I heard Bachar play in JT with the Cactus Pricks at a party there years ago.......maybe can make Lynn's toast at c4 and play a tune........Rock On!

Play bass for an R&B/blues/jazz(ish) band, with an awesome female vocalist.
We've got lord knows how many tunes down, and figuring out what to play when on stage is the hardest part of the band.
georgia on my mind
fever
at last
bye bye blackbird
dock o the bay
some kind of wonderful
song for my father
midnight hour
signed sealed, delivered
knock on wood
I'd rather go blind
everyday I have the blues
shakey ground
ain't too proud to beg
dancing in the streets
money (that's what I want)
parchment farm
etc
etc
etc
It's pretty fun stuff because it's filled with great bass lines, and appeals to many generations. Plus we've only rehearsed 4 or 5 times in the 3 years or so I've been playing with the band, so it stays fun when it's 3 nights/week in the summer.
Also play a few gigs with a 3 piece jazz wank band.

I play drums. Been in a few different bands. Recently been jamming with some guys who play a lot of classic rock (zeppelin, doors, who, petty...etc) and some more modern rock (chili peppers, death cab, wolf mother... To name a few). I'm always looking to jam so if you are in the San Jose area hit me up

Some good stuff here. Climbers are so creative.
Here is a new one I wrote recently with some friends, Andrew Shurr and Patrick Odonnell, both climbers and Eastside locals. I recorded this tonight solo. Waiting for some good bass lines from Andrew.

My band (with other people besides myself and I) had just started playing out and the excellent drummer quit. We're trying a new one now, we'll see how it goes.

We were a good little band....All originals. Moving to Bishop killed it but hopefully there's some musicians out there writing originals.
