Hello. I'm not really much active here, but I've been banned from the forum I usually hang in, so I thought I'd come here asking for advice.
First a little background information.
I play in a band with 4 other people. We're playing a gig in 5 days, but only with 3 of us, and a new singer.
The reason we have a new singer for this gig is because I was told by the lead guitarist (I play bass), that the singer and the other guitarist wouldn't be able to play that gig. I thought nothing of it, and guessed that they were probablyh busy or something.
About 10 minutes ago, I was done rehearsing with my band. Everyone I play with live about 30 minutes away from me, so I always go there when we play.
Anyway, when we were done, I walked up from the basement where we played, and I ran into our old singer, and the other guitarist. They asked what I was doing here, so I said I was playing with the others, since I was sure they already knew.
The conversation went something like this:
Me: "I was playing with the others, and (new singer)"
Old singer: "New singer? Why?"
Me: "Just for the next gig we have. Didn't you know?"
Other guitarist: "What gig? I havenæt heard anything about it."
Me: "Really? I thought (guitarist) talked to you, and you said you couldn't make it?"
Old singer: "No, we haven't heard anything about it."
So, I don't know. Could there have been some sort of misunderstanding? Or were they left out on purpose?
TL;DR: Guitarist and drummer in my band might have lied to me and kicked out two other members. But maybe not. What to do?
Problem with my band?

Re: Problem with my band?
It's fine as long as you don't get kicked out.
If they hadn't told you, they're probz trying to kick you out too, they're just waiting till they find a new bass player.
Life's a bitch, get used to it man.

Re: Problem with my band?
Just straight up ask your guitarist and drummer what the hell is going on. It sounds to me like they're lying to you, so I would quit the band and start another band with your old guitarist and singer. Good luck :)

I'm not a good dancer.Stef wrote:Just start to dance!
On topic though, I just got home. I talked to the guitarist about it, and he said that he didn't know that, but maybe there had been some misunderstandings. I honestly don't think he lied to anyone. The drummer, I'm not so sure about.
And I don't think they want me out. We're great friends, and we have fun playing together :)
And I'm not quitting willingly. It's one of the best bands I've been in. We're even kinda local famous.
I guess I will just have to wait and see. Thanks for the replies!

Re: Problem with my band?
I really don't know, but using violence is always the best option
Mark: Sometimes when I talk in 3rd person i end up calling tom mark
Tom:Yea than he starts touching me and i think thats masturbation
Some people think were idiots or perverts dont argue were both.

Turn them in to a human centipede, that'll show them that you don't fuck around.
I want to fly, Can you take me far away, Give me a star to reach for, Tell me what it takes, And I’ll go so high, I’ll go so high, My feet won’t touch the ground, its my wings, That pull the strings, I bought these dreams, That all fall down

I'm starting to like this forum.
Re: Problem with my band?
If you feel someone want to kick you out of the band, try to convince the others to kick him out before. First-come, first served.
We must use our voices as a flag.
And make it resonate in every building, in every head.

Remove their penises and mail them back to them piece by piece, and to each piece staple a bit of paper with "with love from 'the phantom'" written on it
