Help! October 23

Filed under Misc by Charles | 3 comments

Help!When you tell people that you are in a band, the first question is always “What do you sound like?” This is a perfectly reasonable question, and everyone who is in a band hates it. We hate this question partially because we like to think of ourselves as unique snowflakes, and thus it is impossible to compare us to anything before, or even capture our genius within the confines of human language. But we mostly hate this question because coming up with an answer that doesn’t sound stupid is really really hard. I currently stammer out some form of “just a rock band…I guess.” Which makes me feel stupid, and gives the asker absolutely no reason to inquire further into my band.

I am currently trying to write a cover letter to send out with our press kits, and I am currently stuck on “the City Veins, a three piece DESCRIPTION OF BAND band from Washington, DC.” If anyone has any ideas for the description of the band section, please post them in the comments. I am getting desperate.

    I can’t believe that no one has taken this opportunity to make fun of the band. or Aaron. Or Charles. Or Spencer.

    I know! We have in fact gotten a fair amount of hits since I posted this. I just goes to show how hard it is to describe a band… or that we just suck, and my friends are to nice to write anything bad.

    I’ve got one:
    the City Veins, a three piece fuck-rock band from Fuckington, DC.
