who in HL plays in a band?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I originally did solo stuff, but that made gigging difficult, so I amassed a collective of musicians now known as Venn. We play something between Weird and Wonderful and God Awful. Someone called it Psychadelic Emo-Goth, others have likened it in places to Martin Gretsch, Shriekback and Joy Division. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't. That's the listener's job anyway.

Because of the way the band was formed, I'm largely responsible for composing this dirge - the others take my incomprehensible ramblings and convert it to something listenable through the magic of these things called instruments. My main role in bring said dirge to life is to sing and play second guitar, keyboard or whatever exotic instrument we've got a preparatory grade part for in the song in question.

Performance wise, we're probably not tight enough to gig yet, but we're getting there and we have had offers of support slots on the strength of the recordings we've done (which have also got me engineering work) and should be playing in the summer :von:

The Ramones anthology CD booklet wrote: In LA everybody got laid like rabbits. Same in London. We played there for the first time on July 4, 1976, while in America they were celebrating the Bicentennial. Outside the Round House during soundcheck, these cool-looking guys were hanging around. They said they were a band called The Clash, but that they were still just rehearsing and didn't feel they were virtuosic enough to play in public.
"Are you kidding ?" said Johnny. "I hope you're coming tonight. We're lousy. We can't play. If you wait until you can play, you'll be too old to get up there. We stink, really. But it's great."

My band is called Tierkreis. The whole feel of the band is that we want to give you an anger-fuelled, yet calm, headfuck.
The music can vary from fairly calm techno to feedback experiments. We've been called electronica, industrial, gothic, the lot. I prefer the second one, because nobody can quite agree whether we are or not. :von:
I personally write the songs, using a sequencer and VST instruments. I also sing and do all the production.
We've not played live (we came close, but had to pull out). When we are, we'll hopefully prove a pleasant alternative to the punk scene of our city.
The website has a radio edit of a song from our first EP called "Harm". It's not quite like our new sound, but hopefully within the next few weeks, we should have a song called "Project MKULTRA" from our new EP up.

I’ve been in a couple bands.

One split up over ‘creative differences’ and the other I left because they weren’t willing to play live. Playing live id one of the two main things I enjoy about being in a band, the other is writing and playing our own songs, which we rarely did.

I’m currently in the search of a band.

My band is called The Drowning Season. We play guitar oriented gothic rock. I write the songs, program the music and sing. We play live when we can, but there's not allot of places that feature live goth rock bands in our area. We've opened for The m*****n UK, The Cruxshadows, Stromkern, Gene Loves Jezebel, Assemblage 23, Penis Flytrap, The Deep Eynde, The Last Dance, Voltaire, and many others. Here's the weblinks:
