About the band
So, where to start? I supose i should start at the beginning! It all started on a Friday afternoon in our Music room, me, Sam and some others were playing and Sam asked me to play something on the guitar and so I sarted to make something up (this ended up being one of the main riffs for Highly Flamable!) then me and Sam left. On the way home me and Sam were talking and Sam mentioned the possiblilty of becoming a band and, obviously, I agreed. So me and sam started practicing everyso often in his basement untill we realised we needed a bassist. We talked to James about it and he said he would do it and that was the mking of the band, Amnesia!
We then diversed a bit having practices every so often but never really got anything together. We then heard about a Battle of the Bands competition being held in our school and decided to start practicing but still never did much! Then, a week before the competition, we were given a form and told to fill it out and so we did untill we got to a question that stumped us:
"Band Name: ..................................."
Sam quickly grabbed a dictionary, throw it open and we read the words on the first page we got to! (obviously we didnt get very far as we chose the name Amnesia!) And so came the name of our band!
We then procrastinated for another week untill the dreaded day came and we hadnt got much together! That day, at lunch break, me, Sam and James snuk out of school and got the bus home to get our equipment and stuff and met back at school where we got some lyrics for the song we were doing (Pennyroyal Tea - Nirvana) and waited till the competition.
About ten minutes before the competition we had a problem, the school bass wouldnt work, so, we ran around aimlessly untill I decided to check the amp, guess wot........ it wasnt plugged in! So, we started to play and because of the lack of practice, we were rubbish! I made mistakes with the chords and the lyrics and sam hit had to re-do his drum solo twice!
