On Saturday I went to a music shop to get some new strings and maybe see if there was any new foot pedals. While I was waiting for the strings I was looking at a bulletin board of bands looking for musicians. I don't usually look at this because I'm not looking to play in a band but something caught my eye. "Ugly Brides looking for guitarist". I asked the guy at the counter if he knew anything about this band and it must be a girls band with that name. He really didn't know much besides there a heavy metal band with a girl singer and the band dresses as brides or bridesmaids or something like that.
I got home and I was curious and I called and a women's voice mail came and I left a message. A while ago she called me back apologizing she was on holidays and just got back. I asked about what type of band they were and that I got there number from the music shop and I couldn't find them on Instagram or anywhere. She explained they are a local hard rock heavy metal band that plays mostly after hour clubs. Jokingly but curiosity I asked her if I audition do I need a brides dress or bridesmaids dress because I'm sure I could borrow my wife's and I'm sure my daughters have many bridesmaids dresses. She was really nice and she laughed, and I asked her what was that all about. She told me her brother is also in the band and the thyme came about because her mother works at a Thrift store and wedding boutiques and bridle stores would bring in there discontinued stock and her mother buys them for nothing and she alters them and sells them on the side. She told me that they were jamming and drinking and smoking one night and one of the members put on one of the dresses and they all thought it was funny and great idea and maybe something that would stand out. She then told me that I could understand why they are having a problem finding a second guitarist because not to many heavy metal guitarist are very thrilled about wearing a dress. I told her I just called because I was curious and I don't think they want a sixty year old playing with them, but she laughed and told me if I could make my guitar scream I could come with a walker. We laughed and she told me I have her number if I'm interested to jam with them.
She seamed very nice but I don't think I'm going to but I believe it would be fun and I would fit in because I would make a ugly bride. Would anyone here go try out? I believe it would be exciting to play dressed.
