It's Our Time

Little demo with John Keen on bass (playing his awesome Rickenbacker 4003s!

When the Lighs Come On (w/John Keen on bass)

a short take on a familiar tune in the genre of Doom Metal. inspired by Chopin and Bach, I recorded this to demo my new fuzz pedal. That's me on Rickenbacker bass through a miked up Mesa Boogie amp, and drums. That's all there is on this one, and all I needed to make this one of my heaviest songs ever!

Pray For The Dead

Rinda: Vocal/Guitar/Drums/Songwriting/Arrangement

Perform in a bassless style.
Because octave effect gives me a great bass sound.
I make a demo sound source with MTR(zoom r8).

Love music and everyone.
Thanks guys! check it out!

lyrics
Don't you understand, baby?
I just wanna be left alone.
Cause right now I'm in the dark.

And the old memories torment me.
I can't change the past, but can I change myself?
Alright.

I'll take off my old jacket and throw it away.
Say goodbye to unnecessary.
Break away from the old people, things, memories.
All of those things aren't needed in.

Cause and in the new days.

New days (demo)

The songs we are releasing this time could be finished in a short time.
The main recording equipment used was Cubase Pro.
The instrument used was a Rickenbacker 4001S.
The electric piano and synthesizers heard in this song are HALion Sonic.

Bassline stems from a 4-track project that went awry in the early 90s. All bass parts played on a modified (by Tim Bell, as the story goes) Rickenbacker 4001 bass. Kept the Roland drum machine track, but gated and filtered the heck out of it. Download. Experiment. Chom 'em up. Loop 'em. Play them standalone. Whatever. All I ask is to be credited for writing the bass part.

Rickenbacker Bassline Stems - II [Vulgaria & Mayakovski)

Rooted in '60s/'70s/80s power pop, punk, new wave, garage rock and sooo much more, we've been gigging Chicago's dives and small music rooms since 2016 with a reckless mix of our original tunes and semi-obscure covers that really shoulda been #1 hits. Leslie Walle-Santos: drums. Kevin Brady: bass, vocals. Mike Ritt: guitar, vocals.

Paying tribute to the original artists always, we are making music.
We are delighted that we sing and play many famous tunes they produced.

Rock/ballad/reggae/electronic songs with melodies, verses, chorus, bridge, progression, climax, and all that kind of old stuff. And new sounds too.

Amateur songwriter/musician originally from Texas now living in Virginia thru parts of North Carolina. Don't ask.

My story:

I got somewhat into recording in the mid 80's briefly with a Tascam Porta One, but used it mostly as a scratch pad while writing songs. When the 90's hit, life hit, and all this stuff took a back seat for the next 25+ years. 

For therapeutic reasons, and the pandemic as well (having to spend more time at home), I decided it was time (2020) to get back into it, and I absolutely love it!

I like all kinds of music from pop, country, electronic, rock, folk, big band, orchestral, blue-grass, americana, etc. I'm really all over the map. As a kid I religiously watched anything relating to the NFL (yes I was a Cowboys fan) because of the music of NFL Films. I still listen to it today.

Some artists and bands I have liked over the years are Collective Soul, Cheap Trick, The Stones (of course), Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, John Mellencamp, and Glen Campbell. I even liked KISS as kid in the 70's. Of course when they got into disco and then hair-metal, that was an ender for me but I still like their stuff in the 70's quite a bit.

I got "more" into music at about 14 (1980). That summer Eddie Rabbit released an album named "Horizon" (which I played endlessly) and about a month later AC/DC released "Back in Black". Now that's a combination for you! While they were miles apart sonically, they had one thing in common: good, catchy songs.

With all that said, the one band that I've always loved, and just struck a chord with me, is The Who. Not sure how to explain it. I "discovered" them well after their heyday of course. Maybe it's the anthemic nature of their songs? Maybe it's the creative genius of their chief songwriter/guitarist (my opinion)? Maybe it's the sound they produced as a 3-piece band, where they didn't really have a "lead" guitarist -- their bassist essentially filled that role (and quite admirably too)? Maybe the drummer, who played everything as one big fill? I don't know but I thought they were fantastic. Still do.
