The Backwoods Whitey Fassler Band (cover band)
Defiance (cover band)
AK Raw (original/cover band)
Liquid Chicken (cover band)

There was one other cover band after Defiance but for the life of me I can't remember the name, we only played one gig at a hotel for a hairdressers convention.
And another cover band that was put together for a one gig/contest in which we took first place playing the Doobie Bros song" Long Train Runnin" we won $500 bucks split between 7 of us. I will ask my buddy Chuck who played bass at that gig if he remembers the name and edit the list later.

My father used to have a Lhasa Apso dog that was named Gizmo McBoing.

Posted by: PosterBoy Sep 9 2014, 08:43 PM

Yes!!! two of my band mates shared a house and never got up until 5pm on a Sunday when Dinosaurs came on Tv, and that was the inspiration for the band name

Posted by: Mith Sep 11 2014, 04:30 AM

Yeah the writing should start in a few weeks hopefully. I'm sure I will share some of it on here

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 11 2014, 07:40 AM

Ibis takes my mind to Isis Taka, you are doing an extraordinary job on your own - have you had projects which involved more folks? If yes, why not anymore?

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 11 2014, 09:23 AM

You beat me to it C-Man. But which Isis are we thinking of ?

Let's associate it with the Egyptian deity !

Posted by: Mith Sep 11 2014, 09:25 AM

I always think of the agency in the cartoon Archer. Man that show is funny

Posted by: Taka Perry Sep 11 2014, 11:08 AM

Hey Cosmin, thanks heaps!

It's really hard right now because I have school and also work. I would really love to play in a band sometime again, I really miss the pure energy when I am playing live guitar. But a lot of schoolwork and working means finding rehearsal time with a group is super hard.

On the other hand, being solo gives me a bit of flexibility because I don't have to always plan around other's schedules. But even then, maybe after school, I'm going to try and form a band with some people

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 12 2014, 08:06 AM

Taka Nothing, BUT NOTHING compares to playing gigs live and living a life filled with adventures - some nice, some sad, some happy - you know the kind you get when you have to intertwine your path with a lot of people Indeed, being on your own makes things easier in one way, but at some point you will discover that you literally feel like you need human contact It's amazing to jam with someone and write something together!

Think about it and if you have the opportunity, go for it



Haha! Yes, indeed, but I had this Isis in mind:

Posted by: Spock Sep 12 2014, 08:43 AM

1) "Big Stank" or "Who Farted" <---- First band; never played out live. We couldn't decide between the 2, so we just said both.

2) Smokin' Betty

3) Cosmic Circle

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 13 2014, 03:10 PM

Mate - are you Cosmin Circle on Facebook as well?

Posted by: Taka Perry Sep 13 2014, 03:38 PM

Definitely, man! I'm going to have a 3 month holiday through November so it'll be time to get out there and find some people! I'm looking for a good tube combo for around $1000 at the moment, maybe around 40 watts or something

Posted by: Ulrik Sep 13 2014, 04:07 PM

I might be able to top that with "King Kongs first dump of the day", played live once.


I had more succes with "Merchant Street" which was the translation of the street in Copenhagen, where we sometimes practised.

Posted by: Spock Sep 13 2014, 04:19 PM

Haha - no, I'm Cosmic Circle. You're Cosmin.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 15 2014, 09:13 AM

You get points for originality !
