Band for a Grand!! - Can You Buy All the Kit for a Band for Under £1000??

[@andertons]

We had a lot of fun making this video - it was a spur of the moment song choice that I think we ran through about 3 times before we recorded this - in fairness to Rob I don't think he'd ever heard it before :) - 100% we'll revisit this in the future, but isn't it crazy how affordable gear is for bands that are just starting out!

[@nova.sadler]

😊❤

[@toniz7873]

I would pay to see your gig, not gonna lie!

[@zachrowe1511]

I agree with all of Pete’s note choices, even the spicy ones in the middle of the Rob’s guitar solo. Especially in the middle of Rob’s guitar solo

[@Tuning_Spork]

A while back, they did a very similar video with Pete killin' it on the bass. He is a sorcerer, that one.

[@soulassasin10]

Band for a Grand should be your next video series with various artists. Looks like hell of a good time 🤘🤣

[@MakingYummy]

100% behind this idea

[@b1g2r3m4b5]

Never forget the original Grand lineup, where the best guitarists in the band played bass and drums

[@Jonathan-L]

3:15 ... Pete wonders what other cool sounds the keyboard has, so goes hunting through the settings whilst playing. Love it!

[@aka959]

i think he was adding clap sound

[@danieljdtaylor]

Never, in my years and years of binge watching chappers and the captain, did I imagine I would see Rob and the guys smash out a Harry Styles cover. And it sounded fantastic too!

[@henaege]

Pete's applause at the end is what sells it, frankly

[@marka7519]

This was a lot of fun guys. Rob getting sent for coffee was outstanding. Made my day!

[@siegriedroy6467]

Very nice video! Did not know that Robs voice developed so good! Good stuff!

[@robertgunter7230]

Rob was obviously taking.the piss... But he sounded bloody great ,his singing as well ,,,they all sounded great, very inspirational for young players ,it was happy and fun and entertaining, made me laugh and smile ,,,,not in a condescending way

[@DannyO-j4q]

That was fun! The little Alesis gave it a cool 80s vibe. And I've always said that it's not the instruments but the drive that makes a band.

[@kevb044]

This was so much fun to watch, thanks guys...seeing Pete on keys was fantastic, everyone looked like they were having a blast! Needs to be a feature moving forwards perhaps, maybe with different price points etc.

[@renhoek3851]

Shows how important the sound engineer and talent are! I'm not at all surprised it sounded far better than a lot of pub gigs (with guys playing US fenders). Also, I love the content and Andertons is a great shop, but I bet you could get a band with twice as good equipment second hand for £500!

[@JonnyJKF]

I'd love to see this become its own series in different styles with more guests and a bit more budget if needed for a given episode (Band for Two/Three Grand). I think the videos should start straight away with the cover with the gear rundown and maybe a short interview with the guest at the end. E.g. Band for A Grand Covers: [Song Name] featuring [Guest]

[@Brykk]

The Pensioner Patriots!!! Their debut album “4pm dinner” drops at 7pm this evening (because their bedtime is 9pm).

[@Joe-hl2ts]

Pete was just born to be a musician. Best guitarist out of the lot of them and he's playing keyboard instead. Can play the bass great as well

[@joeformayor]

That was the most enjoyable thing I’ve seen all week! Been on the road away from the family this week and watching y’all made all the chaos just disappear. Thank you all so much for doing what you do best. Making music and making everyone just smile. Hope to one day be able to visit the iconic Anderton’s Music Co. Best wishes to all from the Russell’s in Northwest Tennessee.

[@jeffanderson8384]

That was fun! Thanks for the smile/chuckle. You guys ROCK!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@RRBish]

You guys brightened up my sleepless night. I've never heard hairy styles before.. I might have to check that out. I cant wait to get back over to London to hit your shop! You guys make my day every time.

[@jasmith85]

Never heard Rob Sing, never heard of this song. But you guys made it sound great.

[@andrewpappas9311]

My band at college covered As It Was so I’m definitely happy to see their rendition and I also did a lot of the same riffs that Rob did

[@jdthompson123]

You could have called this “the one grand band”. Just throwin it out there. Didn’t know Pete could play keyboards, his talents are endless

[@juancarloshaquetbriones4252]

Pete is a musician through and through. The guy runs circles around everyone he comes across.

[@CornerstoneWorshipTutorials]

Love how Pete and Lee are having so much fun!

[@billwittman0504]

That was AWESOME, so now I'm going to sell all my premium gear and get a set up for under a grand for my band, Cheers! 😍❤👍🎸

[@RyanSoCal]

Fantastic! You guys should absolutely do more of these.

[@jellybingus416]

Its ridiculous how much I enjoyed this video!

[@SeanDS1989]

genuinely an awesome (albeit cheesy) jam! all the instruments sounded great too, you guys rock!

[@alensyhn4850]

That is a nice short video, very fun to watch. I like the concept, thanks for sharing ! A serious keyboard-related remark for those interested, though : unless you barely need a simple synth line on one or two songs, you may not want to underspend that much. At least, try to get full size, velocity-sensitive keys, and a sustain pedal input. That's the bare minimum. Line outs would be nice, but pretty much non-existent in that price range. There are decent offerings by Casio and Yamaha at/under £150. If you can push a bit more above £200, the Roland GO:KEYS Pete is holding at the end of the video seems to be a good choice for the money. Now, in regards to the base concept, either : - extend the budget to £1200, - go the electronic route for the drums, to save ~£200, - get the drummer a volca drum or an SR-16 to save a lot more 😁, - try your luck (and patience) on the second hand market, you never know

[@gm95265]

Surprised by Chappers voice. Real Glam Rock sounding. You've got to do a cover of Roxy Music's 'More than this'. He'll nail it.

[@Akapickles]

Definitely need an unlimited budget band video!

[@jonnybmusik]

came for the videotitle, stayed for the band! Totally love it! Lovley to hear you have some fun!

[@snapfinger1]

Roy Orbison goes hard rock. I hear a hit single cover.

[@luisconde847]

Best guitar channel. Always fun to watch.

[@Tone-Quest]

Love this ❤❤❤ Excellent job, as always!!!

[@MartyHagwood]

This was GREAT!!!!

[@lachlanblair2235]

best video you have released in a while. im back to this channel!

[@mmiller6873]

OMG, I totally dig the song. Just brings back vibes of days gone by. Well done on this episode!!

[@ArthurLayton]

Made my day off very differently, especially with Danish Pete. I like it.

[@hyttetur]

WOULD LOVE If you put together a similar video with (not cheap, but affordable/entry level) PA- amps, and all that, how to set it up in a practice space and tweak the knobs so it sounds the best.. we have a pretty big practice room, with 2 gtrs a bass and drums and everything is either to low (volume) so the vocals can cut thru, or loud, and we can't hear the vocals, or feedback galore ...

[@MeTuLHeD]

Go with an in ear setup. If you don't mind being hardwired, you can do it for less than $300.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

I second that! Please incorporate PA's and In-Ear Monitors w/ mixers next time.

[@chrisggoodwin777]

Chappers was relegated to Chappuccino 😂 love the Band for a Grand videos!

[@Doug5524]

Rob your singing voice was excellent

[@RobChappers]

Thanks dude I really was just messing around - LOL at me reading the lyrics all the way through! 😂

[@ereimul1444]

we need these contents more often.

[@johngallagher7884]

That was awesome, yet funny. I loved it especially Mr. Chapman

[@orjand]

Wooah. Didnt know Chappers could sing like that!

[@kisschicken]

I sometimes forget these guys are world-class musicians.

[@comment_below]

dig it -more please 🤘...... and the whole gang together 💪

[@josephbarbato9668]

I like how Lee handed out American dollars at the beginning

[@justynregini8532]

Brilliant,! Thanks Andertons for another greatly entertaining video. When I was a teenager many years ago, the quality of beginner 'affordable' rock instruments were absolutely awful, and sounded terrible . It is amazing how good they sound these days.

[@afopm]

Great video, congrats, it's really fun to watch these budget gear covers!

[@alrangelal]

The jam was actually great.

[@notoriuswuff]

i dont know why i enjoy this cover so much

[@BondRichBond]

This is f*cling hilarious 😂 well done 👍

[@redrock1963]

Now that's an Ad worth watching.

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

Damn, Pete's wildin' on that keyboard!

[@pepmasters-999]

Fun to see so much more of the shop.. Oh, yeah, and the song as well. Keyboard player was a bit sloppy, but what can you do? I've heard that song done in various Styles now.

[@andrewpinner3181]

Thanks guys that was fun & well played !

[@dinosaursr]

Nice. I really like that tune and you guys had fun beefing it up.

[@nicholascrow8133]

Danish Pete on keys is the energy I need in my life!

[@MeTuLHeD]

The Captain is quite the bassist. I think he may have missed his musical calling. 🙂

[@Jake24378]

This was one of the funnest dang videos y’all ever done did! Could and should be a series: Go 2 grand and 3 grand. Do a power trio for a grand. Do an all acoustic band for a grand. Do a “band for a grand by brand” (Gretsch could be cool).

[@jurgenbont5932]

well done 👍🏼 sounds good, perfect job 😃

[@Muppio]

That Alesis sounded brilliant.

[@Maddy29]

Best fuggin video !! Loved this!!

[@Rustyjamesman]

Okay that cover was badass!!

[@stephenbedford1395]

Haha, loved it guys! Love Andertons... (from Brisbane, Australia)

[@victorjacob1]

Band - $1000 Jamming with your friends - Priceless

[@tommyhardman5035]

Well thats a cover i never knew i needed... untill now!

[@g-dawgbush6681]

I love these guys! Seems like an awesome place to work.

[@serendipityguy]

Goes to show what you can do with a little coffee 😃

[@maxbialystock254]

And the new record Shitkickers Deluxe now available wherever fine albums are sold. Great job gentlemen. Next, a car boot challenge

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Kinda think the 40 quid keyboard was the MVP here!

[@timwillis6292]

GREAT JAM GUYS !!🌿

[@tjnathan]

Lee’s time feel on bass needs some more appreciation. Bro was holding it down!

[@vladsho3852]

Pete sounded like Toto's keyboard. Great talent. Waiting for keyboard reviews on your channel 😅

[@davedavem]

Lee: "serious bit now" Sorry, I can't! 😂

[@brim5792]

Introducing………. “The hip replacements”

[@AdrianArcasMolina]

Best cover this week so far!

[@Funkybassuk]

The Captain’s pretty decent on bass!

[@danfrye5130]

Yes. Take it on the road, boyz

[@philloynes]

More videos like this please. Really good to see gear in a full band context and not just in a silent room. Could do "Band for 5 Grand, Band for 10 Grand etc"

[@pulaski1]

I think that's a great idea, but starting with some smaller increments - so £1,500, £2,000, and £3,000 before jumping to higher budgets.

[@brentgibison3823]

Good show chaps !! Love band for a grand…

[@lycancatt4248]

at first i thought you were recreating a song from aha..or channeling them heavily! only weak point honestly was the cymbals but thats how it is always with entry level drums, good stuff!

[@johnharris1846]

so cool guys! rob your voice was very good!

[@sebastianeriksson2951]

so when does Grand go on tour?

[@pedersenist]

Yeah i am the biggest fan. This time you actually got a drummer 🪘and good cover.

[@RobChappers]

Yeah man Taylor’s an awesome drummer!

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

That actually kicked ass!

[@crazyhorse2577]

I love watching all of you at Anderton's. Where's the coffee Rob? LOL

[@ghwr]

How does it feel to release the best single for this year?

[@joecarstens5201]

I so am a low-budgeteer, and this gives me hope again...😁

[@DrewKane]

As soon as Rob starts singing, you realise he went to school for guitar.

[@ajlsrv5490]

Wasn’t a good scale apparently

[@gepreck]

Great cover boys!!! 💪😝🤟🍻

[@RegieFilho]

Yes! More of THAT

[@nuisancemusic09]

More of this! 😁

[@SoundsByHeazy]

You're looking at Guilfest '24 headliners right here!

[@carpathus]

I laughed so hard. Way to go guys. Cheers!

[@nanorcs]

Love the videos, love the channel, but if you're gonna play live you need a PA!! as well as backline and instruments.

[@metalliholic]

When I saw Pete looking at keys, I thought ohh most likely some Van Halen. Nope, Harry Styles lol. Still did an amazing job!!

[@rcjoe406]

Now number one on I tune.. that's was awesome 👌

[@Jonthebard]

Loved this!! I think an updated giggable rig for £500

[@RoderikvanReekum]

How did they get to 104dB? The drums?

[@michaelluong6484]

Go forth and make music, kids (of all ages)!
