Peep Warren
My name is Peep Warren. I'm fifteen years old, and I play bass for a pop-punk cover band called KFC (), as well as bass, auxiliary guitar, drums, and vocals for an alternative rock-marketed band called
The new season has brought the influx of two new memberships. I now play guitar, as is my dream, for two other secondary school bands, and .
I started playing guitar at twelve, bass at thirteen, and I've been singing for as long as I remember. Oh yeah, and I can do a mean harmonica.
In my spare time, I record acoustic tracks as drafts or demos for band performance, and I can write some pretty okay songs, although not for the genre I listen to the most.
Cheers and enjoy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Like I said before, was the first band I joined upon discovery that I wasn't a mediocre guitarist. Originally drafted for the position of lead guitar, I stepped aside when we found someone a lot better and more versatile, and began playing bass instead. I was soon good enough there to perform, and after a few airy-fairy gigs, we were settled.
probably came around because of The vocalist there, Elise, discovered that I wasn't terrible at bass either, and asked for my services for a new project she was assembling. I was able to jam and get a gig a lot faster in KFC than I was with Arminthe, and I was able to get to know some of the musicians there that I'd always wanted to.

* Chantal (Lead Vocals)
* Gian (Lead Guitar)
* Peep (Rhythm Guitar, Backup Vocals)
* Ryan (Bass)
* Ian (Drums)
Thank God we don't have Friendster.
God bless my bands.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We do, at secondary school parties and soirees within the vicinity. I think it's all right, depending who we have, how our equipment is, and who's watching.
I'm fond of jumping around for certain pop-punk covers in , and the rhythm guitarist, Gretchen, told me that she would always face the other direction whenever I did so, because she would probably lose focus with her guitar part and end up laughing. I was given the title .
Your musical influences
For Arminthe, a great deal of glam rock, alternative art rock (say Incubus), and, uh, just alternative rock in general. For KFC, it's pop-punk or candy-punk, or just pop given a twist. For BBB, we just take whatever's nice to sing and play from the wide choice vicinity of the rock world. For the bands, their bassist just listens to a lot of emo, popera and trance. Hee.
What equipment do you use?
The bands? Generic gear and amplifiers for rawk bands. For recordings, I just use a mic, a jack, some cords, my acoustic guitar, and ACID Pro 4.0. Sonic Foundry, the best ever program.
Anything else?
You know what? I can do screamo. Sure it sounds girly, but I can do it. I'll prove it to you! *yells to Tustado*
