My band once came round my flat and we ate cous cous and watched Grand Designs.

I shat on a plectrum and speckled the audience with shit specs.
and then I went home and watched the 'My Family'' omnibus on UK Gold
played in a church
and turned it down so as not to upset anyone
sellout
I know I know
play halo
and go to primark
We used to get excited when the new bus timetable came out
Honest to God.
probably the fact that it's an imaginary band
did you have enough seats?
there's like a dozen of you!
when I was in Tracy is Hot & The Clap
we went to a completely soulless shopping mall coffee shop run by Greek people called Acropolis. We did a lot of un-rocknroll things tho. I miss dem kids, A LOT :(
why did you split up?
a lot of resentment on both sides
which exploded when I behaved like a massive wanker when I should have talked it all through sensibly.
ooh sounds juicy!
will you ever do a tracy is hot and the clap biopic?
who would direct it? and who would play you?
that guy who did Don't Look Back will direct it
and I will be played by the exhumed corpse of Heath Ledger
roboheath!
the bloopers reel on the DVD will be hilarious!
died in a plane crash
crashed our motorbikes while on lots of speed
got really famous and really fat and did a shit and died
drowned in our vomit
shot my face off
got shot by our dads
shot our dads
.
Coldplay
1) you have a band?
2) you "did" Coldplay?
bum? Face?
extrapolate
BBQ in the rain
We regularly play scrabble together
and drink beer.
NO JOKE.
*fruit beer
I was meant to say.
FRUIT BEER.
nirvana cover
luckily we decided against it for the school concert though.
We didn't!
It was after the System Of A Down cover as well which made it seem even worse than it actually was. The very same day I performed the rock and roll act of tuning my guitar for five minutes in front of the whole school while the rest of the band were in the toilets vomiting due to nervousness. HELLO CLEVELAND
Also another 'band' played at a holy communion. I suppose that does sound a bit metal. HOLY COMMUNION
in my old band
we had a "google group" so we could all mail each other without hassle. and we also put everything (inc. personal things that would have prevented us from doing band things) on a google calendar. there was seven of us though, so it was pretty hard to organise everyone.
^Us too!
split up
getting thrown out of a club
for sleeping.
also, sitting backstage and reading in silence. the other band didn't know what to do.
I jumped off stage and played my bass in the middle of the crowd
unfortunately unplugging myself in the process so I was rocking out but nothing was actually coming out
^ One of life's winners!
In saying that, i've done this so many times. I using masking tape to hold all my cables in place these days.
I did this
replace "off stage" with
"on a monitor in our last song"
was heavy gash.
We went for a mexican meal once.
sunched up our calendars
created an excel spreadsheet for band expenses. ( in and out)
created a checklist of things to take to gigs
cool
...
OD'd on Jaffa Cakes on the M1.
attempted
a choreographed dance on stage.
overdosed on pro plus cause we couldn't drink. we just forgot how to play the songs because we were on the EDGE.
While we were recording our album at my friend's house
three of the band were upstairs in the 'recording room', discussing vocal ideas, doing lots of different takes and making little noises here and there and generally making things sound great. One of us however couldn't be arsed with this because they wanted to watch High School Musical 2. Guess who that was?
Barry White
Stuck a guitar back together after smashing it up,
because it was my bandmates brothers guitar.
My mate used to bring weed to band practice in a Queen: live at wembly video box
his logic was that "no-one would ever look there".
My mate John
in his band "Stuka dive bomber"-once threw his cardigan on the floor, mid set.
