I was in an all original band in my mid-to-late 20s - we had a female lead singer who left because her "church" told her that singing anything other than P&W music was a "sin" - we then auditioned about 20 singers and found one we could get along with - a male this time - he tried too hard to sound like Eddie Vedder but the vibe was there - until the bass player (my roommate at the time and at whose house we rehearsed) discovered that his wallet was always lighter after rehearsal - in something out of an 80's sitcom, he set up a video camera (not that easy to hide in the late 90's) and discovered the singer would excuse himself from the rehearsal and go lift some cash from the bass player's wallet - needless to say, he was immediately fired
The band broke up shortly thereafter as I was approaching 30 and figured I was never going to become a rock star
I took about 15 years off of playing guitar and writing music and a couple of years ago thought I would try to put a band together for fun - I scoured the usual spots - Craigslist, Reddit, Bandmix - all to no avail
That is when I developed a passion for writing orchestral/cinematic type music - no vocalist necessary - of course, should I need one, I can go on Soundbetter and hire one
