The 'ol school show job...
The show in question was an award show, so we were to put together a band who would 'compete' in the (winner pre-determined) category of 'Best Rock'. This is what we came up with.

Bass Player - An old friend of mine from primary school and a jolly decent bassist. Unnaturally obsessed, however, with Iron Maiden and the blues.

Guitar - Me, having failed Higher Music the previous year and been forced to drop my intended guitar grade a notch just to get a pass.

Other guitar - Another decent musician, this one obsessed with the Eagles. Personally, I thought that alone made the bassist look sane, but they were both minor Trekkies. He ended up playing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" on his own for this bit.

Drums - Anxiety-prone goth girl who never even got round to handling any drumsticks in our little bandette. Well known for hair colour choices on par with Stevie Wonder on acid, after having somehow been able to become colourblind.

Singer - My ex girlfriend. Whom I had cheated on. And had been avoiding. Whose aunt had just died.

It did not last.
