I play rhythm guitar, I play the drums (poorly), I play the bass (like a rhythm guitarist), I play the piano (like a rhythm guitarist) and I dabble with some other instruments. I play the guitar because at a young age a friend of mine played and we decided to start a band together. I was in my first band at 12 years old, playing Bowie tunes. I had a band called The New Green back in Michigan but had to move to NC. I wanted to still record my songs etc but didn't know anyone. Therefore I taught myself how to "get by" on the drums. The piano and bass I've always dabbled with. Music rules! I need a nicer ukulele though, you are right, they are fun. So are mandolins. -right @AnSionachRua@? FYI, I asked this similar question a while back in this post and got some good answers
So your childhood band name is the source of your username here on hubski? Does "the new green" have any other significance?
That's it. Until about 2 years ago I played with The New Green. I have an album that I'm supposed to be finishing with them, yet to be released but damn... I'm so busy I don't see it happening for some time. But eventually, I'll finish it and kleinbl00 will mix it :)
Oh, and the new rig is dizzope. I was at a meetup last night and showed a few pix of the rig in progress and ended up having a guy with a Pro Control: And a guy with a D-Command: ...jealously ogle my new rig. Now if only it were done 'cuz I've got like 5 deadlines breathing down my neck and still haven't gotten a microwave oven...

It's no wonder that most engineers are sic-fi fanatics. Look at that setup?! It might as well be a console on the Death Star. Super-bad-ass. Enjoy and good luck with that microwave.
I look forward to hearing it. What genres does The New Green stray around?
It's been referred to as "orchestrated folk-pop," which means rock/pop music but with strings and horns and the occasional acoustic guitar. There's a link in the original comment to a last.fm page with some songs on it. -I had no idea it existed. You can find both our albums on iTunes. If you'd like, pm me your address and I'll send a CD and some Hubski Stickers your way.
Sounds pretty good. I bought a few songs that I liked in particular, so thanks!
