A local show at a school with this shit band, I was at a mall drinking coffee 5min before showtime.
Came on stage drinking back the last drops... Right on the last note of the last song, I threw down my guitar and went out the backstage door to get another coffee at the mall.

It was f**king good coffee! :lol:

I play in a band right now. We're called "Last Chance." The name is kind of a joke with us and we also can't use it since it's taken by some country band out in texas. It's also being used by like, 50 other bands it seems like.

Anyway, I think my craziest stories are nothing amazing. I snorted a bunch of shit a couple of times and bled all over the place. I took down a 12 pack before a show once and somehow made it through alright. Last week when we played I popped too many pills with alcohol and was short on breath for some reason and almost passed out during my vocals on a song.

I've been in a few.

When I was in high school in Newcastle I was in a band with schoolmates. That lasted about 3 years, mainly never getting past the practise stage. We spent a lot of time playing bad covers of "Sunshine of Your Love" and other stuff by Cream and Zep. Did get to play a few gigs for little or no money. Lots of fun though.

At university I was in another band, mostly playing original stuff written by the singer/lead guitarist.
We did a few gigs in Newcastle and did get paid actual money on a few occasions ($400 or so).

Then I wasn't in a band for a long time until I moved to LA and joined this band, www.red7s.com, which is sort of an alterna-folk thing. This was going really well until people started to drop out due to work commitments. Being in a band in your 30's and working at the same time is bloody hard.
Then I moved to Melbourne, where I don't plan to be in bands anymore :)
