Quite a failure of a trumpet player, and it's boring until about 3 minutes into the first video (I suppose you should allow time to get into the swing of things with improv though) so other than the failhorn you have quite the sound.

I applaud.

I used to drum in a " band " that band was more of a let the guy with the money buy every thing, so i quit as every one was constantly mooching off me.
watch your ass, people get greedy :(

Good stuff, but the trumpet? wtf?

I think you're doing great with your band, sounds good and you guys play well together.

Try to find someone who has a better quality with his camera and then start to make some clips of your band and post them on the interwebs.

On sites such as Youtube f.e., some people became quite famous because of that site.

I mean today, you have so much opportunities to become famous, compared to 20 years a go.
Also just focus on your music, maybe fix the trumpet guy (I'm not saying to dump him, I'm saying that he mustn't improvise, if that was what he was doing).

Which one are you?

It's interesting, especially the trumpet/guitar player. The bassist should be the one on trumpet, though (like me).

What genre is you band in general?

Nice name by the way...

Enjoyed listening man, the drums and the bass section are great, the other parts like the nasty synthy sound, not so nice:) Still, for a first show, excellent and it will only keep getting better n better, always nice to hear some improv material, in places it's really slick and great to listen to. You ever heard of a band called The Bays? you may enjoy checking out their stuff, all their material is totally improvised whenever they play, they only perform live, they never rehearse, they don't have a set-list, of course, some of it is hit n miss, but you can get some real gems in there:)

From what I heard, I'm not sure if the trumpet player is really as bad as everyone says he is, or if the room you played in has really bad acoustics. If you have too many instruments being played in a tight space, one of them is always going to be overpowered and sound like crap if you can even hear it. Maybe it was just a bad camcorder recording? Anyways, I still think it was good and you have potential with your band.
