Okay, so What is Six Speed Coffin? Well, it is the name of the band I am currently enjoying life with. It consists of my good friend Graeme (drummer) my good italiano friend Guiliano (Lead guitar) Myself (Bass/guitar/vocals) and sometimes this Ian guy (guitar) but I dunno, he's never there. So, I should probably give you a run down on how we got started....
About 3 months ago, a friend of mine, graeme, approached me about being the bassist for a new group he was putting together. I was happy to sign up, since I had played in a band-ish deal with his brother and was looking for another group of people to jam with. This is just where I came into the picture, if you want a prolouge and, I must say, a really good telling of our story so far, visit http//:www.grimhippie.blogspot.com and read the 'Rock the world' blogs.
So, I come in and we jam for a few weeks then I get us a gig at the Picnic in the Park at my high school, those of you that know, know, those that dont.....its a huge picnic in a park with BBQ's and live bands...pretty simple. So we start preparing for the show when all of a sudden, Jay (Guiliano) goes M.I.A for a week. So it's me and graeme (Ian goes to another highschool in another part of town, graeme goes to SJHS right down the hill from my STMHS) and we start to perpare what we can do just the two of us. We had a line up of four songs,
1) I love rock and roll - Joan jett & the Blackhearts
2) N.I.B - Black Sabbath
3) God of Thunder - Kiss (Supergroup version)
4) Six Speed Coffin (Our original)
Though, due to our lack of italians, we had to drop the first two song and go with God of Thunder and 6SC.
Day of the concert comes, we get up on 'stage' (Under the shade of the 2 story fountain in this square) and Rcok the World. drums were stellar, guitar was good on my part, vocals can use work but hey, they could barely hear me anyway. All in all, it went swimingly. We even got a follow up show later on in October.
In the mean time, I have been grounded for reasons Im choosing not to disclose, until October 1st. In my period of incarceration I have managed to write another song and learn 2 more. So, I'll post some more updates as they come in. Who knows, this could be the start of soemthing great...or nothing at all
