Basement Band Practice

This contest entry is music for the eyes!

About

I think most musicians remember something like this. Rehearsing in a garage or basement. These are great times. A lot of energy and creativity. The guitar is riffing, the keyboard is ringing and the drums are making it all rock! At that moment you feel like a trillion bricks and everything seems perfect. Riding home later, instruments in tow and a ringing in your ears, you agree: this was the best basement band-practice you ever had!

Background

When I saw that LEGO Ideas had a music related contest, I was immediately transported back to my teenage years. We had a band. I think we only ever had two or three gigs. I tried to recreate the atmosphere from all those practice sessions.
