We'll be doing a New Year's show this year on the 31st! It'll be a combo Uncle Bourbon/Unleashed, and Launch Party for our new Patreon site.

Tons of stuff coming including some fun interview podcasts and a new class format, and monthly Uncle Bourbon/Unleashed shows.

Posting this here before anywhere else - check it out:

I've been informed that the process of porting over old orders is a bigger deal than anticipated. It's a migration from WooCommerce to Shopify, in case anyone has any ideas. The Man in Charge says there may be a plug-in option to do it, but nothing's confirmed yet.

So: working on it. Hang tight.

Coming soon are more printed scores, soundtracks, and random swag - Uncle Bourbon glasses, Redbanned logo merch, inside-joke pieces.

If you have an actual request, and aren't just breaking my balls (allowed) let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Speaking of which: Red Band mug. I sort of miss putting these up...

Unfortunately there was a server downtime yesterday. According to the information that I found out it seemed that Xenforo had a major drive failure. So it took a while for them to fix that. I noticed also that a few posts are missing. The reason behind that could be that they had to roll back to an older backup. But now everything is running again which is good. I am sorry about that but at least everything is working again

Keep on sharing music guys!
Enjoy.

Please delete my account. I could not find where to do so myself.

Regards,
Dave

Sort of curious - delete it? Why not just... not use it...? You're not getting SPAM I hope. Deleting an account always seems like it's some sort of statement, and if so, maybe you should make it before you go!

Hi Mike,

No statement is necessary. Would respectfully submit that one should not have to beg to have an account deleted. Thanks!

Fuck no, happy to do it, just wanted to,...

He's cool, so be cool. I know you will. But I gave him the Smite Hammer just in case.

Yours,

Probably going to be added is a sort-of Mike Answers Bulk Questions thing.

That is all. Carry on.

It would consist of:

• A harmonic and structural analysis of the piece being recorded, "Tears of a Jedi."
  An orchestration and notation breakdown
  A discussion with conductor Neal Desby on his approach to the material and getting the most from the players
  Discussions with each of the principal players on their own unique considerations and/or performance matters
  Live streaming of the session
  4K video of the session after the fact...

- and get some classes.

I'd like my settings to be like I Pm'ed you:
Alerts are ok for when someone quotes / mentions / pm's me
but I don't need them in my inbox every time someone replies to a thread I'm 'watching'.
As long as they show up here (next to the 'bell') I'm good.

Let me know if I can help you with anything,
Thanks!]]> 43 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 18:11:39 +0000 https://redbanned.com/threads/redband-launch-party.50/ https://redbanned.com/threads/redband-launch-party.50/ invalid@example.com (Wayne Bacer) Wayne Bacer
Are you hosting this in the Live Channel section? Password?
If we would like a piece critiqued, are you taking names and numbers?
If so, do you have a MP3 upload section somewhere on the forum?

I want to support and encourage good developers. And if they're here, they know this is a no-bullshit hang - this isn't a "safe space." It's a real space, with real people giving real opinions; opinions which they would be wise to listen to, better or worse. That's at the core of what this site is about. The Red Band is a reminder that contents inside are not only for adult people, but...
