Bands I’m thinking of starting.
Oops, I forgot to go to the meetup this evening. Isn’t that odd?
ANyho0:
1) The spoken word band.
Pros: arty, easy to steal or licence material from other people, music mostly improvised. Cons: ego could not take unfavourable comparisons with Lake of Bass.
2) The hard-line modernist art-rock band.
Pros: genuinely original and edgy music, get to play really loud and be cynical all the time. Cons: would have to destroy any chances of success by railing against the ‘music industry machine’.
3) The cutesy-pie indie band.
Pros: it’s the ‘in’ thing, and I get to use all my old material. Cons: The Lucksmiths already proved it’s a bit annoying.
So if anyone wants to start one of these bands, drop me a comment :)

Pick me, pick me! I’ve never been in a band before. I have minimal musical ability but can sort of strum along. In other words, I’m voting for cutesy-pie Indie.

Hee hee, that sounds like the right attitude :)

I’ve always wanted to be in an all girl band, but seeing as you obviously can’t start an all girl band, I’m happy to be one of your groupies - something else I’ve always aspired to.

I love girl bands.
Also: “Cons: The Lucksmiths already proved it’s a bit annoying.”
I was listening to T-Shirt Weather when I read that. I will never get sick of that song. Never.

Well, I can be pretty girly… so I wouldn’t rule it out :P
I may have to download T-shirt Weather just to hear it, but you have to understand that my main beef is with the whole ‘cute’ thing. Much like Michael Leunig, they leave me a little unsatisfied.
