It has come to our attention that there are a lot of budding rock stars that walk through our doors daily.
We here at Bumper think its only fair that we help you along your journey to superstardom with a selection of instructional videos that will help you rock out harder.
First off – the front man. Forget your Jim Morrison’s and your Robert Plant’s, they never LEARNT, if you want to sing – get a voice teacher. Allow us to let you in on a little secret – “singing lessons cost a lot of money because they aren’t cheap”.
[oh, and she doesn't have any students at the moment, so book quickly to secure your place!]
Cool, now you can sing, congratulations.
NEXT: performance.
don’t get over excited:
But DO get carried away…
Now, although you do go drinking and clubbing, you might not find your perfect band mates in dark clubs. However you find them – make sure you love them. The road to the almighty throne of rock infamy is long and hard tread… Try not to fall out.
You can always try to find band mates at Craigslist, Ebay or AdultFriendFinder.com…
When thinking about your first gig – its always wise to put a good cover in.
And now that you are the greatest band in the world – why not try and write the greatest song in the world, forget it, and then write a tribute to your forgotten genius?
Good – so you’re not going to go flying off the stage any time soon? Not going to monkey bar accross the lighting? Not going to punch your band mates in the face?
Instead you’re going to rock out killer shows like this:
There you have it – rock school 101 from your friendly pals at Bumper!
You’re on the right path now – if you rock out as hard as this – then give us a call for gigs!
See you next week!
Lorne. =)
