Rock/Jazz/Techno Band

I've always wanted to be in a band. I love music and have a tattoo to prove it. I'd be lead singer presumably, and I'd play guitar if I knew how. But unlike other bands, we'd do a vast arrange of genre's. Rock, jazz, metal, new wave, indie, techo, etc...There's something unique in every type of music, and I don't think I could limit myself to just one. 

One of my songs I would just scream. Maybe yodel a little too! Add lots of good riffs like Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". And throw in some auto tuning, heh it would be great. I would just add all the great things I love from my favorite bands into my music. The water droplet sounds of techno, beats like Timbaland's, great lyrics like Coldplay or Radiohead, and the hard electric guitars of our great hair band heroes. 

I've always wanted to name the band "A Cat Named Moo" dedicated to the first real love of my life, my cat, whose first full name was Hitler (not that we were Nazi sympathizers, just because she had a small black mustache, and my mother has a weird sense of humor) Moonique Bush. Yes I know, crazy cat lady status right? But when doing something you love, in for a penny in for a pound.

I've always wondered why no other bands/artists have done this. I don't think I've heard of a band that had a metal song, a techno song, and a jazz song all on the same album. Sure you've heard of bands changing from say, Christian rock, to regular rock, but never has there been quite a mash up of genres. I would think as a musician it's important to know and love all different types of music, therefore being influenced by it all and forming their own unique sound. It would be interesting to sing everything that you loved. You would also have a great range of fans from old to young. And critics could never say, "Sounds exactly the same as their last album."

But what kind of band would it be? It wouldn't fit into any one category, just all of them at the same time. Let's just hope it doesn't get filed under "other". Maybe miscellaneous assorted listening? Huh, not spunky enough. Maybe Motley listening. That is if Motley Crue doesn't get their panties in a twist about it. They didn't create the word "motley". And what's a "crue" anyway? I would just hope that with our music, we could change things, make people open their minds to a greater vision. That's probably what most bands tend on doing when they start. But before long it becomes all about the money and the fame, and less about doing what you love and creating something beautiful. 

I'd like to leave my print on this world for people to find years after I turn to dust, and I think an awesome band with a new outlook on music and it's relationships to other music would be an good way to accomplish that. Music is life, and it can send such powerful messages. I still get shivers every time I hear Bono sing "Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?" 

We'll probably never hear a band like this, it's just not what the record labels are looking for. My fantasy band doesn't include any Bieber's, so I doubt the band would start out making any profit. A band in it for the music they love. Hmm... catchy idea isn't it? -Hailey
