my band is hitting the roof.
my band consist of
a vocalist cum keyboardist
a electric guitarist
a acoustic guitarist
a drummer
and myself as the bassist
a lil backgrnd. my close frens and i formed a band on the 081006. we are 3 mths old. we all picked up the guitar in sec skool. played along to pop songs and all but never really got tog untill recently. i myself along with the band's vocalist cum keyboardist and acoustic guitarist have a musical background. we pick up songs pretty fast. we've been blessed with a gd ears so we are able to hear details of the diff instruments in a song. We're started out with simple songs and are progressing towards technically demanding songs. currently we have a repertoire of about 10 songs.
the problem im facing is. Even thou we're doing everything right musically (notes are right, timing is there) basicallly everything is in order. however i feel somthing is missing. its like the vibe is absent in certain songs. i cannot seem to figure out what is wrong.
i do not know if its due to a lack of instrument technique but i believe that is a problem that can be overcomed. the part i do not understand is that despite a simple song with very little technical skill required (i.e Dishwalla - angels) is lacking a spark to it. its like the song is played rite. its just there. as it is but lacking a spark. it might be because i'm part of the band thats why i'm hearing it from the band's perspective however after expressing myself to the rest of my bandmates we all feel the same way.
im pleading to the more experience bands out there. if any of you have faced a similar situation and have overcomed it please share with me and the many newly formed bands out there your advice and possible solutions.
thank you.
