Ever get the feeling you're in the wrong place..?



Having been in various bands for years, I've occasionally found myself playing gigs with people I don't quite feel as connected to as I should...

...such as the gig I did with a frustrated 80s-style lead guitarist, for example, where he turned every song into an eight-minute, plank-spanking epic. Or the gig where the drummer ran the band and didn't stick to the setlist (so the start of every song was like a live version of 'Name That Tune'...). Or the time I did backing vocals for a Nigerian gospel singer and had to do them all in a faux Nigerian accent so they didn't sound out of place...

So when my drummer mate, Nic, told me about this video and I just had to share it with you. Enjoy!

That is absolutely hysterical. Thanks for sharing.

Kind of ironic, too, that the song they're playing is Sharp Dressed Man, when they wearing those spectacularly yummy shiny yellow jackets.

A Nigerian accent?! Haha! That must have been a special performance...I'm not sure I could keep up the accent!
