guitars ranging from "crispy fuzz" to "wailing harpy", a (fretless) bassist who is the reincarnation of Jaco Pastorius, someone playing a heavily distorted Rhodes organ and a drummer who blazes latin influenced beats with the dexterity and power of a young Billy Cobham. The lead singer mixes between tortured psych-soul, frantic beat poetry and playing free saxophone with wild-eyed vigour

i am fuzz guitarist no. 3

something mogwai esque with shouty bits/mathy bits a little like geisha, the pirate ship quintet, we followed tigers I'm still hoping to form a band like this if I ever get my act together.

This is all.

mainly AWESOME rock.

But with the ability to break hearts with a sad acoustic song

and singing like Stephen Malkmus alongside a ridiculously cute girl cooing shouty love/heartbreak songs to each other over girl-group drum beats, tinny synths, and sometimes its really fast and noisy, and sometimes it goes all slow and the duets wind up with exchanges that something that sounds like its out musical hall, or whatever.

orrrrr
i'd be in a TOTALLY 1337 metal band

But more 90's.

A little bit of Fugazi. Maybe some Archers of Loaf and some Pavement. This is basically what hello world is going to sound like, when i finally get it started.

Consisting of various keyboards that make all kinds of odd noises played by myself, a violinist, a harpist, an electric guitarist and a drummer.

There would be occasional vocals, but it would be largely instrumental (ala Battles) and instead of making music about characters or stories, they would be about settings and scenes.

Solos on the electric guitar would be a reasonably regular occurrence, and sometimes the style of them would be bordering on metal.

Also, the stage set-up would have lots of hanging lamps and fairy lights draped about and stuff.

As you can imagine, I've thought about this before.

sounds like The Lord Of The Rings falling over Gwar. You don't want to hear.

But really I want to be in the E Street Band. So yeah. My dream band is the E Street Band.

but noisy.

attractive female with spectacular voice (like dionne warwick or tammi terrell) that almost sounds like the pitch-shifted vocals of uk garage while clean-yet-understated synths roll around at the background. nothing too over-produced. all the songs run at 90-110bmp and there is all the space in the world for the french-house groove to come through.

actually. that kinda sounds like something i'd hate. this is not a good game.

in Low. Or I'd just be playing along to whatever melody I whimsically come up with in my head.

It'd be somewhere between Drift era Scott Walker, Wolf Eyes, Mermann Nitsch and Boredoms. I'd have an orchestra and scary looking people ringing bells. I'd want people to throw up at my gigs, and if not feel very unsettled.

The first wouldn't be a million miles off what I do now - post-rock, with bits of shoegaze - deliciously bell like guitar tones during the quiet bits leading into searingly loud, crunchy fuzz. Sometimes there would be vocals, taking the form of a choir of voices (maybe 8 in total), sometimes just a fragile lone voice, mostly none.

Kind of like Spiritualized / Arcade Fire for the quiet bits, Pelican / Mogwai for the loud bits.

The other band would be a quiet, semi-folky kind of thing with harmonium and accordian drones layered with two intricate finger picked guitars and the voice of Mark Lanegan / Tom Waits. And a bowed double bass.

whilst Spinderella scratches and the 2 bass players from Neds Atomic Dustbin do some duellin'

like Backyard Babies, Buckcherry, Crashdiet, Hardcore Superstar, Motley Crue, etc. Just good old rockin' and riffin' :)

Probably a punk/rock 'n' roll band. We'd sound similar to Rocket From The Crypt, but faster with similar humour to that of Dillinger Four. They'd most probably be a bit of brass as well.
