What are your musical achievments? Most people on this board are involved in music in some level. Some organize, some play etc. What do you consider your personal achievements?

Supporting Juke Baritone was a real cool experience. He was like Tom Waits. Also supporting Sunflower was cool. Super Florence Jam should definitely be considered for a gig in Canberra. And of course, the honor of supporting Adelle, who completely blew me away with their Rageness.

Yeah, definitely playing with Monster Elephante at their album launch, playing Paqman's album launch, playing with Adelle (and being asked to play again!), winning that National Eistedfodd was good, being mentioned a few times in BMA as an exciting, original upcoming act and I'm hoping our EP will be our top achievement when it comes out.
But I always feel like an asshole listing things I'm proud of, because it feels like such a wanker bragging-like thing to do. I am proud of a lot of things we've done, though.

We're only a new band, but I'm pretty proud of how we've progressed.
I'm extremely proud of our first show. Don't know how many people showed up but 'unstoppable' will know. We played to like 70ish... I think. It was a great feeling for a first show.
I guess that counts as. First Show First Interstate Support
Being asked to support Escape Syndrome on their mini tour in support of their release in 2009. Cowra, here we come! Being asked by a few bands (The Attendance, The Great Escape, Bleached Academy, Girl Vs Ghost, Tonight Alive etc.) to play with them in Sydney and Melbourne (Melbourne you'll have to wait)

I'm gonna sound like a wanker.
Rendezvous #1. I was in over my head, it was my 3rd show or something and I was only 15. 10 bands, 7 hours, 180 people through the door.
Bringing The Red Paintings to Canberra on the Animal Rebellion tour. They're one of my favorite Australian bands, and getting the chance to work and hang out with them was amazing. It was also the first time we worked with an international band in Battle Circus, who have since played in Germany and America with Amanda Palmer.
Whatever we did on Paqman's CD launch. I had fuck all involvement in the lead up, but I'd like to think we made a difference on the day. That was the local show of last year in my opinion, and I'm proud to say we were involved in the actual day.
Photography used on Elephantes CD. I don't like how it was used, but with a bit of effort they could be on of the next big Australian bands, and it would be cool to say my photography was used on their first release.

Haha, yeah Rendezvous, was good. You were only 15? Shit. Nice work man.
Are these personal achievements or current band ones? Either way, mine would be pretty much the same.

My band has succeeded in being the most sketchiest band ever. Old drummer did some things (not going to comment on a public forum) We never practice, we had the cops called on us a few times, i smashed my mouth open at our first public show, band members have been known to flake out at the last second, always plagued by sickness. Not achievements i just wanted to comment on how ~PUNX~ we are.

Onya. The closest we've ever come to punk was that time Jarrad accidentally said punk when he meant to say funk. Hilarious, you don't need to tell me.

I'm pretty sure the Krullet song is the funkiest punk song off all time.
