My first proper band

We all have drunken first bands.
The kind we start at a night out drinking, and never do anything with.
I can lay claim to a couple of these type of bands.
One of these bands we decided to call "No more dick for us."
I started it with a lesbian and we both thought it was genius.
It didn't last a week.
My first proper band was sort of like this, but differs in a few ways.
Firstly we actually had a full line up.
Myself on guitar, Stoke Richard on Bass, Paul on drums and Drinky Chris was the singer.
Secondly we actually made it too, two meetings.
The first a meeting about what we should sound like.
Held at a pub like all good band related meetings.
We decide Punk was the way to go.
The other an actual practice of sorts.
Problem was we didn't all show up too them both.
The drummer missed the meeting, the lead singer missed the practice.
We played alright, some Rammones and Clash covers.
And Thirdly though we never met as a whole again, we never truly split up.
Drinky Chris moved on and away. Paul ended up in the army.
Me and Stoke kept on as we always do.
Stoke carried on as a sound technician, preferring it behind a desk in stead of being in front of it.
Myself, other bands awaited.
Me and Stoke are still close friends and to this day we still have a good laugh that every band I have been in since is in fact just a side project as my first band never split up.
