I've seen this band several times -- so long as the riff is in 7/12 time and six bars long, Don Cab fans will eat it up.

What happened to Darth Brooks?
And has anyone heard that one STEED song, "De Canter of Blood?" It's on the B side of "Gaits of Hell?"

Some ideas from back when I was at University:
- an anti-boyband called FU2. Songs about getting drunk, getting into fights, cheating on girlfriends, shoplifting, vandalism, etc. - album was to be called "Y*O*B*S", short for "Yer Original Bastard Sons".
- "Herman Hollerith's Blues Machine" - a band where the drummer is a stuffed gorilla with a drum machine slung around it's neck, the singer is a blow up doll, and the guitarist is a cardboard cutout of Eric Clapton propped up against a large reel-to-reel tape machine on a wooden dining room chair.
- The Vicar & The Warlord. A rip off of a Fry and Laurie sketch, album was to be called "The Personification of Raw Sex".
- The Sick Six - a band with five members, the sixth member being a drum machine, a bit like Lothar and the Hand People, but with regular instruments. I thought that it might be a supergroup made up of people from other student bands, as a way of using up all the crappy half finished songs.
- Tamag0tchi Sex Explosion - gigs would be improvised jams based off "At The Copa (Copacabana)" by Barry Manilow.

- NWA tribute band called "Nigels With Attitude". All white guys, each one playing the role of a stereotype: cockney, nerd, public school posh guy with a monocle, geezer, etc., with names like Dr. Nigel, Nigel Cube, and Easy Nigel. Album to be called "Straight Outta Croydon". Sample lyric: "Straight outta Croydon, a crazy motherfucker called Nigel Cube, from the gang called Nigels With Attitude...".

Darth Brooks got the cops called on us once. Our drummer is in 3 other bands so we never get together anymore; a shame too because I put in a lot of work figuring out how to run my bass through every amp I own.
Some of which are guitar amps, of course.

A band that I thought about starting at school:
- "Black Ash", typical 14 year olds' idea of a metal band, the name is funny because I meant "the ashes of destruction", and the usual teenage doom kind of thing, etc., but it wasn't until years later that I realised it sounds like the colour description on a carton of flat pack self assembly furniture.

the mary janes: get a trio of girls, dress them like a modern-day shangri-las, then get them to sing jesus and mary chain covers (with the feedback replaced by reverb). each one calls herself mary-jane, of course.

Should've gone for it! At the right moment this actually could have been mildly successful in a one-hit-wonder novelty "No Pigeons" type of way.

I did consider it, but for some reason I thought there was a risk that people wouldn't get the joke and instead they would take it seriously. So on the one hand there would be outraged Daily Mail readers who would consider the group a "threat to fabric of society", and on the other hand teenage boys who would think of them as role models. It sounds crazy to say that now, but I was a bit detached from reality at the time.

A band of multi-instrumentalists called The Gay Taliban, possibly wearing pink/purple burqas with sequins, knocking out lounge-type covers of popular music. We played a few college events/formal balls and so on back in 2002/2003.
