Your Terrible Band Concept Stockpile

About 10 years ago I had an idea for a Nazi disco band. All the band members would have Hitler moustaches and wear jackets with swastikas made of sequins. We would play covers of disco hits with offensive re-worked lyrics (e.g. "I Won't Survive") in thick German accents. I almost convinced some drunk friends to do this at a house party in Santa Cruz. Probably for the best that we chickened out.

It might have gone over better in Russia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbuTV86ZXe0

Suddenly - Nikki Sudden tribute band

Weedwhacker - sXe landscape architects rock out

Britney's Peers - shady Florida promoter assembles pre-fab band of young boys & writes songs for them in the style of Incapacitants

I never got around to actually implementing my terrible band concept - probably due to lack of anyone who remotely knew how to play instruments as well as no venue.

It would basically be a super-heavy droney stoner metal type band that only played one huge loud riff over and over until something - anger from the audience, sore hands, power getting cut off - forced us to stop. We would be called Caveman Simulator and would hopefully be dressed like dirty-ass 70's Hells Angels.

Steed Lord's debut full-length record "Truth Serum" will be out worldwide in the coming weeks. I wanted to reach out and send you a link to an 11-minute continuous mega mix with teasers of all the new tracks that will be on the record:

Their sound:
This is a very unique live electronic act from Iceland that has huge cross-over appeal to many different audiences. Their sound has been described as "electro-crunk with a serving of legitimate disco."

C'MON

Man I hate the way PR people always say "reach out." Why do they have to do that?

I once tried to push a concept on people where it was a band that followed musical "rules". On every song, there would be simple rules for each instrument that allowed limited flexibility. For example, the drum part would have to hit the top tom once, the snare twice, and the low tom once, in that order, every 2 measures, although the timing of it would be up to the drummer.

I was reminded (correctly) that I was high, and that key signatures in themselves were already a form of limited flexibility, and that the band name Band of Rules was awful.

When I was drunk a couple of weeks ago I thought it would be hilarious to start a twee-as-fuck matching-cardigan group with my wife called The Whale Appliques.

Guys I just started a cover band called MIXTAPE...we basically play whatever covers we want regardless of style or obscurity level that are possible w/ our instrumentation and are trying to incorporate tape related sfx into our live show.

We've also told our friends to make mixtapes for us to learn to play so when their birthdays come around we can play their MIXTAPE set.

by tape related sfx I mean like sudden record button release tape squiggles, pause/stop cracks etc

You have to also stop whatever song you are playing, 30 mins after starting your set, then start the next song, 20 secs later, minus the intro.

The PA stacks should be painted silver, with loads of fake speakers that look like real ones, but are just grilles with nothing behind them...

thought i might start a metal band called OSMIUM

^^^actually quite a good idea

Bardcore - metal songs with Shakespeare as lyrics. Large codpieces. Problem is, someone's already done it.

The Heavy Hitlers

Pop-Metal played by overweight dictatorial look-a-likes

MC Onion. First single: "Rap Scallion"

The American Smiths

man, if i could stand the music of grateful dead enough to re-work the lyrics TREKKIN would be a moneymakin' ass project in these parts.

hoos i will start this sci-fi theremin metal band with you!

Suburban London rapper MC Esher.

Band that hurls bottles of urine into the audience, in particular at British festivals such as the Reading festival, for failing to appreciate band's art to an acceptable degree. T

They do not actually perform any music, mind you, just urinate into bottles and launch them at their congregation.
