Subsim Musicians Thread

I've been in MANY bands since the 80's. Most of them were punk bands. I started my first band doing music I wanted to do back sometime around 1990. I wanted to start making industrial music so I used tracker programs like Modedit and ScreamTracker to generate electronic sounds, synths, drum beats, and sampled/edited noise. We used to add a live drummer sometimes. I would play guitar and a friend of mine would sing/growl/scream with distorted and echoed vocals. I still have the tapes of it somewhere.

Now I have many synths and samplers, and a full computer recording studio in my "man cave" here, but wouldn't you know it. Now that I'm old and have all this equipment, I havn't been in a single band or performed live like I used to do all the time back in the day. There's just no venue for my style of music around here any more. Unless you play classic rock, hip hop, or folk, you're completely shut out of the music scene here.

I DID play live as a solo performer once about 7 years ago at a church talent show. I think the olds didn't appreciate me and the kids just didn't "get" it.
