What do say when people ask about your band?

[Bunk McNulty]

My menu of responses:

To my friends: “It’s a stinky little bar band.”

2. To strangers: “We’re big in Hartford.”

3. To people at a club who want to know if tonight’s band is any good: “We suck, but here we are anyway. It’s a mystery to me, too.”

Hi,

"We're an instant country band. Just add beer!"


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Are you guys any good?
We can bash out a tune if we absolutely have to.

reminds me of a few years ago I was in the mens room at a place we were playing at and 2 guys were also in there talking about my old band (not realising that I was in the band) and one guy said "that singer is ok for an older chick... I reckon she'd be a good ****" and his mate said "Yeah - she's got nice boobs, but she's probably married to some *******"
Our Singer is Married to the drummer!

We may be the best sounding Beatles band in our neighborhood!

They’ve all sucked and were a waste of time and money. Hence the retirement.

I say "which one?"

 

[DirtDog]

“I’m waiting for our big record deal to come in - then I’m going to fire them all”

“We just got signed to a contract.......If we buy one CD at the regular price, we get ten for free.”

"Nobody's ever thrown anything at us. But there's always a first time"

 

[Liam Wald]

I really try not to talk about it.

1. We're not good, but it keeps me off the streets at night.

2. No, I don't need a $10k bass, I need a $1k bass, and $9k worth of booze to give away to make me sound good.

"So you know early Weezer? We sound nothing like that"
"We're progressive metal, so basically jazz that is mad at you"
"We play 22% more notes than most bands in the area"

We're the center of a Venn diagram with hard rock, metal and prog rock. Here's a CD. If you like it, check us out on Facebook.

"No, we're still together."

“We’re big in Hartford.”

Then you guys must know "Brass Bonanza."

 

[bigswifty1]

"Are you in the band?"
"Nope, just the bass player's roadie"

1. We are a disco polka band.
2. We sound like the Incredible Hulk having sex.
3. The band is great but the bassist is awful.

3 is my favorite one while making small talk with strangers in the bathroom. I actually had a guy start arguing with me saying “Na man. He’s pretty damn good I think.” I saw him when I went back on stage for the 2nd set and he started laughing his @ss off.

I am a shameless promoter. Mostly based on marketing, if you tell someone that the experience is/will be superior they tend to carry those sentiments forward. You have to deliver it like you mean it.

Well right now I tell then that we are on hiatus. When we are playing I told them that we were a mix of Sinatra and Marilyn Manson.
