well, me and dave c have decided to end the band, but its ok because we managed to make some waves on our way out. basically dave’s dad has a polycom soundstation 2 which is great for video-conferencing. we then set up our band (then name we settled on was ‘tHiS iS rAnDoM’ and played songs down the phone, using the soundstation, to various people in the music industry.
it was like doing our first concert/rehearsal as we played together for the first time and some of the songs (esp. ‘mad shouting’) we just winged it! anyway, here’s our set list (with some sample truthbomb lyrics) and who we played to…
‘government in a bin’ – sara cox’ p.a.
sample lyric:
“if you all got in the bin itd be an epic win
oh cameron, hope you get rick roll’d to death”
‘john major in a minor (hot as currie)’ – xfm sales line
sample lyric:
“wellllllllllllll whats the story, youre a tory owww!”
‘first class plain ticket’ – this morning competition hotline
sample lyric:
“i refuse your economy sandwich
i refuse your economy sandwich
i refuse your economy sandwich
yeaaaaaa! (ive brought a truth packed lunch!)”
‘fudge scientology (aint dat sweet?)’ – emi (although we rang bmi instead for a laugh!)
sample lyric:
“travolta’s a faulter and cruise is a lose……r”
‘mad shouting’ – deaf institute, manchester (ironic?)
sample lyric: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhh my ears!!! (improv.)
we got bored after a little while and decided to get a dominoes. then we had a chat about the band and decided that we’d done all the work, said all the things we were ever gonna say. we felt like the world has changed for the better as we tucked into each eight-cheese stuffed crust. it was a good way to go out. on top.
