"the fireflies" by cageybee

ok, lets all say it together people, because my buddy kgb here seems to have missed the memo. Ready?

Ebo is is a girl.

Thank you.

Also, i think I'd like to take rytham guitar and lead vocals if thats ok. My guitar playing skills are on the brink of half-good. Although my soloing is getting better.

what kind of music should we play, band? i'm partial to rock, but i like pretty much anything except country. of course, all final decisions lay with me, the all-important band leader (i better not hear about any mutiny!), but i like to think myself a kindly ruler. but don't make me go jack black on you.

ebo, sorry, you are definitely a girl. i can learn, see? and look at the amendment to the original post? nice, huh? appeased?

oh yeah, i can play the clarinet too....so, we've either got ourselves a wood ensemble or a rock band.

nice yellowcard reference. anyway, here's what we've got so far:

lead vocals- ebo and howdy (think the blink-182 song, "i miss you"...both tom and mark sing and it kicks.)
flute- howdy
lead guitar- ebo
sax and backup vocals- static
drums- kgb
pennywhistle- noocyte

edit- understand, we may not always have an "instumental" place for everyone. if you aren't playing, you will be dancing in a cage in as little clothing as possible.

and "i miss you" i on the new cd, song 3 or 4, i believe. its a different sound from blink, but i wouldn't say i'm disappointed.

perhaps, for some songs, we'll go classical and then, as purplebelly says, we'll bounce the bottles on the tables.

Hmmm ... I can play either tambourine or zills (finger cymbals) whilst shimmying in my sparkly bellydance outfits ... I can also do the correct hand-positioning for the Lotus if we want the dancers to do a nice homage to the Chinese stuff in Firefly.

Or we could just do some tai chi in the background.

If Howdy's on vocals now, I'll take over the flute part. Used to ad-lib pretty well in a rock band many years ago. I can also play the fife, the recorder and this funky Panamanian thing that sounds like a tarzan yell. I'm working on the pan flute, but that sucker is hard. So name the key and I got you covered. Just don't ask me to sight-read, because I'm atrocious.

hey bandmates and/or groupies, we seem to have a bit of a competition for bass guitar...gunhand vs. soulofserenity. i'm apt to give gunhand the job, as soul appears to be our rhythm guitarist. other band additions include wren on triangle, cybersnark on keyboards, annik on finger cymbals and spoons (and teaching the whole band tai chi so we are the most kick ass band in more ways than one), maugwai on flute, thatweirdgirl on piano (have you heard something corporate?), and malicious as jayne's replacement on the rainstick when he's off filming.

ebo, i declare you vice-band leader....its your job to help me with executive/creative decisions and trying to keep howdy from usurping me. we are to be respected...after all, we are the ones with mystique, right?

as for the name, i kinda like it. its not just "firefly" inspired, i'd consider calling my band that even if i wasn't a fan (right, like that could happen...ew, bad mcdonald's flashback). however, benevolent leader that i am, i'm considering any forthcoming suggestions that aren't idiotic.....ok, i'm considering all suggestions.

edit- the name would also attract those who never saw firefly to inquire about our name, therefore spreading the firefly love.

I really like the tai chi-inspired stage show and I've always wanted to study it. Can I do that? I can also carry a decent tune, so I could help out with background vocals, if you so desire.

Oh, ya know, if those positions are filled, I could work on costumes. Don't make faces. I am envisioning cool, dark (figuratively), asian-inspired outfits for the bandmembers. I live in Manhattan, so I could just shoot on down to Chinatown and pick up some shiny stuff to wear. BTW, I bought a really beautiful traditional chinese silk jacket last week (think Kaylee's green jacket in Serentiy but mine is silver and purple and more fitted). How sad is it that I am already planning my outfit for the BD premier?

Just a thought, but shouldn't we (okay, I've already made the leap to assuming I'm in the band) have some people doing a joyous jig (a la River in Safe) sometime during the performance? I am NOT volunteering, mind you. This good little irish girl never learned to jig, much to the dismay of my grandmother. So, KGB, is my vision way off?

Oh yeah, band names, The Fireflys is the best name every though, although i was thinking that if i hever happen to make another band, I'm going to name it Static (If the REAL Static doesn't mind me stealing his name that is...) that would be a fun name.

The band I was in in college was 80% original songs and 20% covers. In fact we never really wanted to play covers (just did them for practice) but we'd do sound checks with Enter Sandman or Raining Blood and people wanted us to play the whole song so...we threw in some covers.

I think we should write a song about "The Adventures of Jeremy." (the origonal take turns writing tread) that would make a fun and totaly weird song. Or ballad. Or something.

And yeah, covers are good. Do we play covers the 'right' way (they way they were origonal recoreded) or do we change them somehow?

The right way is...wrong!

In many instances a well done cover that "tweaks" the song is better than the original version.

I'll maintain to the day I die that Glenn Tipton's cover of "Paint it Black" kicks the snot out of the Stones' original, or Slayer's "Innagaddadavida" or Iced Earth's "The Trooper" or the Sex Pistols' "Roadrunner" or Tom Jones' (yes I said Tom Jones he's cool dammit!) "Are You Gonna Go My Way"...hey what can I say I collect "weird" covers and usually like them better than the originals. Hell if I got to pick my own funeral musack it'd be "Ring of Fire" but the Social Distortion version.
