Garage band bass player morphs into stand up slap bass rockabilly

[Darren J Wallace]

Hi Guys,
First of all,this new site is very cool!
I've played in bands for over 20 years as a bass player. I'm a huge fan of 60's garage and really all 60's rock,but I've always wanted to learn to play stand up bass,and have a soft spot for rockabilly.
Anyways,my bandmates and I have been working on a fun sort of project for the last year or so,and here are some of the fruits of our labours:

Wally & The Spaz Rockets shred!!! Leroy is a killer track, much better than some of the newer revival groups can do apparently. I would buy this EP.

You don't have to buy it,I'll send you the mp3 files and the artwork. That's all that actually exists at this point anyways:)
email me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you!
Thanks for your interest and compliments!

Did we just make a Canadian LOVE CONNECTION?

Nah, my ol' Houndog might bite someone then!

Was reading The Blue Moon Boys book and appreciating how hard that kind of stand-up R&B bass can be to play! Bill Black bled for his art at times...

Stand up bass is a killer,especially if you're not in shape,like me,and suffer from long term wrist trouble from running machine shop eqipment for 25 years
