Wanna be a rock star?

[thewildone]

Curt is getting a band together--I'm putting up something IC shortly.  While I'm sure it'll have to have NPC members, obviously I'd like to have as many members as possible be actual characters.  Ideally, guitar, bass, drums/percussion but probably anything can be made to work as long as it's something that can be played loudly.  Female vocalists are a possibility but an iffy one. 

Basic ability to play an instrument is required, but potential members don't have to actually be that good.  The right look and right attitude (unusual or outrageous) will count for a lot.  Other than that, actually having the time to put into a band and ability to actually put up with Curt are important for actually staying in the bad--but conflicts and quitting are in fact love~

Listening to the MC5 or Iggy and the Stooges (punk before it was punk) will give you a pretty good idea of his sound, but he's at a point of being open to some change depending on who he's working with.

I'd also like, for future plotting purposes, to get a list of as many characters who are singers/musicians of any kind.  Or anyone particularly interested in music/scenes.

ETA: I forgot to say, but IC auditions are Monday.  I'll put up a log if anyone wants,  but auditions can absolutely be assumed.

Rudy looooooooooves his music, being eternally plugged into his radio as he is. And he has no qualms about telling you that yours sucks, if it does. ♥

Rosella, on the other hand, plays flute, lute, and all the keyboards, and can sing with reasonable proficiency as is expected of a magic sparkle princess, so punk is...a little out of her league, alas.

[thewildone]

I will keep Rudy in mind for the future plans up my sleeves.

Maybe one day when she's cursed out of her mind. Otherwise...yeah, not so much.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And he's twelve years old in 1981, so he's just the right era for it, too.

Alas, Rosella will have to sit this one out, most likely. Other than to perhaps be like, "Oh, what...lovely...noise."

HOWEVER, SHE COULD TOTALLY FORM CITY!JETHRO TULL.

[thewildone]

I want this.

SINGLEHANDEDLY?

THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONCEPT EVER.

[thewildone]

:P

The scans are apparently on the computer I need a replacement part for. Which is coming next week, I think, so...

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Sob. I wish I had someone who'd audition.

Uhhhh...idk if you'd want him, and he wouldn't audition (his experience with punk was a curse when he was a 1970s punk--v. exciting, that), but Cain is an excellent pianist in canon (Merry refers to him as a "musical genius")--so if you need to know musicians of any kind, here's one!

[thewildone]

I'm not even 100% sure what I'm planning, but I will totally keep that in mind.

He can join Rosella's band?

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

I forgot to be an actual person who says things that aren't jokes.

Mike plays the guitar but he is also 12. So.

Chris plays nothing but is from 1973 so he will be very appreciative indeed of Curt's band once it actually happens!

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT GUITAR PLAYING, MIKE.

[thewildone]

12 year olds are useful for potential audience at least.

Time period buddies!

[makesfolktalky.livejournal.com]

Seconding Chris. Except replace 'Chris' with 'Ray'.

And if he doesn't like it, he'll be a dick. Because he's Ray.

[rockstar-otouto.livejournal.com]

HE'S ANOTHER YOUNG GUITAR PLAYER but he's 15/16-ish.

[thewildone]

That could work, at least...temporarily. I'm sure Curt would prefer someone older for the band but he'll take what he can get if you want Jun to be a part of this. At least he's not 12 he can be there to help reach the all-important teen girl population.

If not, there was some sort of performance, Jun could open for Curt's band? And at least he could try out.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Me! PICK ME! ...Actually, Penny might have to join Rosella and Cain, 'cause I don't think Penny's singing style and violin skills are going to work. XD But if Curt's band needs a den mother, then there you go.

I'm rather sad that I can't curse Justin at will. -_-

[makesfolktalky.livejournal.com]

David Bowie Jareth could help.

And if you're still interested in watching, I found Labyrinth online if you want the link?

[thewildone]

Well not unless she's willing to go John Cale and provide lots of weird droning noises (apparently he would practice playing the same note on the viola for hours on end when he was with the Velvet Underground). But if she is willing to occasionally feed the band and perhaps mend clothing she'll always be welcome around.

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Though I fear I have no one to offer for the band itself.

I'd also like, for future plotting purposes, to get a list of as many characters who are singers/musicians of any kind. Or anyone particularly interested in music/scenes.

Rip here counts for a singer. ...As long as one is willing to overlook that she's a known murderer, sob. And punk escapes her a little, being more of the opera-type. Though as long as it has a decent melody, she's at least open to all kinds of music.
She's not really Rock Band fodder, but. You said any kind~.

[idmakeitaweek.livejournal.com]

It looks like you've actually got your fill of guitarists but in Tony Stark's house in the movies he has a couple of nice electric guitars so I headcanon that he can play and because of that with the additional knowledge that RDJ can sing, I headcanon that he's got a pretty good voice.

Not to mention rockband is exactly his style but if you've got enough people/aren't interested it's totally okay since my thoughts on his talent are all headcanon.

[thewildone]

If you want in on the plot, you can have in! I don't actually think that any band of Curt's would be Tony's style (though that might not be obvious to either of them at first) and I don't think they would get along personally. I can explain why if you want (beyond the fact that Curt wouldn't want Tony to take even a little of the spotlight from him) but I'm also interested in playing it out.

[thewildone]

Whatevs, it can be amplified. EVERYTHING CAN BE AMPLIFIED.
