10 QUOTES WITH «BANDS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word bands.
1
Art Alexakis
I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.
2
Jack Antonoff
My father played guitar, so I always wanted to play for that reason. But I think the biggest reason was just the '90s in general - growing up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and bands like that, and going to concerts and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.
3
Thomas Beecham
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
4
Win Butler
I don't like to talk about other bands in interviews.
5
Jim Capaldi
For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.
6
Alice Dellal
My style is part of the music I like, the bands I see, the people I surround myself with, the places I go to.
7
Mac DeMarco
I had a band called the Sound Of Love, and that was R&B songs about girls in my high school. I played in some other indie bands who were trying to make it big; those sucked. Then I started Makeout Videotape, and that was that.
8
Martin Denny
The band would play on the night off for the local hotel bands and we'd back all the different acts. So I'd been advised by good friends of mine to come back to Hawaii. Oh, I loved Honolulu, playing at a place right on the beach at Waikiki!
9
Brian Dietzen
I love dancing, but I'm not that good of a singer. I sang in punk rock bands in high school and college and stuff, but that mostly involved lots of screaming.
10
Ronnie Dunn
My father was an aspiring country singer and songwriter. He just didn't get that off that ground. I was afraid, very tentative to do anything with music for years. I didn't tell him I was playing in bands when I was away from home, because it had been such an unpleasant experience and a letdown for him.
