Band Geeks *Sniggers*

Dearest Darling Readers,

Hey! We've started a band! That's right! We've finally mashed out mediocre talents together to make Just about the most epic band ever! So right now we only have 7 people. Yeah I know, super small. The weird ting is that Book is not a part of our band *gasp!*. Unbeknownst to her, she's our manager, so it's all good. But yeah we are a giant freaking band that goes by the name of Wrong Way Rabbit. I personally came up with the name and it is based off one of my favorite children's stories about a rabbit who did everything backwards. Story of my life, except I am not a rabbit. At any rate, here is the line up:

Lead Guitar: An Awesome Sophomore on my odyssey of the mind team named Caroline

Back-up Guitar: And Awesome Junior on my odyssey of the mind team named Dillon. Actually other then Book, there is only one odyssey team mate who ISN'T in our band. Well the reason he is back-up is because he can play guitar, but hadn't exactly played for a long time before we started the band which is SUPER helpful but we work with it.

Bass: Odyssey team member #3, Mike. He's our newest member so, yay snaps for Mike. Seriously though, he's annoying. I'm just kidding. We were having a lot of trouble finding a bassist before he came into the picture. But once that was settled, the band was formed. More snaps for Mike.

Drums: Believe it or not, the is Geek. I know she has yet to post on this blog and that is supremely lame because she is really very awesome. She rocks it out on the drums, and lends us our house for 2 hours every week-end to practice. She's the only one with both a drum set and a piano.

Vocals: This is a sophomore by the name of Catie. I'm not actually super familiar with her but she's tight with Golino and Mike and can hold a tune so we have accepted her into our hodgepodge of a band.

By this point you may be thinking, well they've covered the BASIS of a band, what else do they need? Well, the next two are ones I consider kind of bonus members. We're not technically needed but we're here regardless.

Freak: She really wanted to be in our band but, unfortunately, doesn't play and instrument. When this band was only talk, she was our metaphorical bassist. But she does own a bass, or play. That's how Mike was able to make our band a reality. At any rate, she plays what i like to call the misc. She plays Tambourine, sleigh bells, maracas. Whatever we need. Snaps for Freak :)

Last but not least, moi, Bimbo: At first I was a little bit upset because I started this band, came up with the name, and write songs, but yet I wasn't technically needed. I play piano you see, which can be recorded and played back on a computer quite easily. But I have made my role essential, and there's no way I'm quitting. So I've kind of expanded my role to be Piano, keyboard, and Ukulele. I also just learned to do synth stuff on my keyboard. yay to me :)

I hope you enjoyed this description of us, we're quite unique if I do say so myself. Hopefully we'll got bigger and better. Right now we just play at Grace's house. If you live in the Darien area, look out for us at town stuff. We'll be trying for gigs once we get more then one song down. We play mostly alternative rock. Our first song is what I've Done by Linkin Park. Our Second song is Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and third is the black Parade by My Chemical Romance. We're just doing covers right now, if you can't already tell. This will probably also give you a good idea of the type of music we play. We're also on youtube, check us out!

LUUURVE,
Bimbo
