Looking to start a band

[Will_i_am]

Hi.

I have played in bands for 17 years or so and used to regularly gig all over the place. I gave up about a year and a half ago when I became a father so that I didn't hold my, then, band back. But really miss it. I'm coming up 32, play guitar and sing a bit and I am mainly interested in stuff like Brand New, Hell is for Heroes, Rueben etc... If you're in a similar boat to me, can sing, play guitar, bass or drums then drop me a line.

You don't have to be the best player in the world, just enjoy what you do and be competent enough to keep time.

Any questions, contact me.

If you want an idea of what I've done before check out the now defunct www.myspace.com/hedstrongmusic

Thanks.

Will.

Go on Mikecg, I dare ya.

[HonaloochieB]

Don't play anything Will. but could I suggest 'Stuntman' as a name for the group.

Always fancied the idea of a group called 'Stuntman'

Think about it.

'Stuntman'.

[Will_i_am]

Stuntman. Hmmm. Ok... any other suggestions for the band name?

[HonaloochieB]

Yes, better than Stuntma, though?

Good luck.

[Brendan]

Stuntma?

[bigbadwolf]

Speaks volumes doesn't it Brendan.

OK you caught me on a particularly Oedipal day, alright?

[Will_i_am]

Stuntma. A tribute to my late mother, Evilina Keneval, who tragically died when she misjudged the length of a number 12 bus on her mobility cart.

[Brendan]

There's the making of a cartoon series in that.

[Will_i_am]

I was thinking more Rock Opera.

[Brendan]

Cool. So long as there is a one-eyed villain and a monkey for comic relief.

[Will_i_am]

How about a one-eyed monkey villain?

I'll start putting some draft scripts together.

[Brendan]

I see much merit in monkey villains.

[HonaloochieB]

Or indeed a comic strip.

Peter Patrick Potter was the luckiest schoolboy in the world. After being cursed by Gypsies when she refused to buy clothes pegs from them, his grandmother Florrie Potter was turned into an internationally reknowned stuntman.

When Florrie was around adventures and high jinks were the order of the day...

[Will_i_am]

Don't be daft HonaloochieB.

Honestly. Some people talk nonsense ;p

[Moos]

Have you considered Stunma? The electrifying (sorry) combination of an old lady and a zapstick.

[Will_i_am]

Is zapstick a new genre of comedy?

Zapstick humour, like slapstick but someone gets electrocuted.

[Moos]

It's slapstick for the new generation, rendered immune to shock by the incessant playing of computer games. I remember when it was all tigers round here but not now no, now you're not allowed to even say tiger apparently it's racist or something. I don't know.

[Brendan]

A gypsy curse, a one-eyed monkey villain and Stuntma?s glorious demise in a failed attempt to jump the No12 in her mobility cart. Released as a musical comic book, heavy on the zapstick humour.

Not sure playing trendy-hardcore will be quite surreal enough for this band you?re starting Will. Perhaps something more in the style of, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, would be more fitting?

[Will_i_am]

I'll have to swap the guitar for something a little more obscure. Maybe look into trendy-lardcore. Milkbottles filled to different levels with lard to produce different pitched notes.

[HonaloochieB]

#StunMa StunMa, you're frightening, that's what we all think of you.

You hit us with your stick of lightning, we're getting the social on you...#

And a tiger sidekick with the voice of Leslie Phillips for Moos. He could be called Pete.

Every time he appears on screen a version of Mud's Tiger feet, cunningly adapred to Tiger Pete could accompany him.

See if can get Motorhead to cover it.

HonaloochieB, you're a shah, en esslute shah.

Oh sorry - I was thinking of Terry Thomas. I do apologise.
