About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Young and sexy. Everything that ever counted in the gleaming Rock halls of yore. Cumulatively between themselves, the band are a frozen sperm bank of the Aryan Race (naturally mixed with strong polynesian [not samoan] and blasian blood). They, as a result of their wide-spread travels, and promiscuous encounters, have defeated every Sexual Transmitted Disease known to man*. The cries of their vanquished enemies are featured on numerous back-up vocals. Thine dying cries -- though no doubt fearsomely musical -- are no match for the sheer power of 8-part harmonies tearing through the air.

  • Tragedy strikes Johnson family again

    The Johnson family was recently struck by further tragedy during midwinter musical mayhem month, as the elder Johnson brother, 'Standard Bass 30', was struck down by an unknown assailant. The prime suspect is the notorious 'Amp-crusher' Landon-Lane, already well known for his previous assault on the younger brother of SB30; however, specialist medical novices were unable to diagnose the exact cause of SB30's injuries, and the involvement of band member William W. Wood has not been ruled out.

    Long time room mate of SB30, AK, first discovered SB30 in a poorly state when SB30 failed to respond to routine low Es with his usual clarity of attack and tone, and instead emitted a weak buzz. Further examination revealed several notes troubled SB30, and quick unplugging action may have saved SB30 from the same explosive fate as his brother.

    Several band members were available for comment. AK is saddened by the deterioration of his trusty steed, and proclaimed that his unique tone will be sadly missed. Will (still under suspicion after his channelling of Neil Young through SB30) said "[nonchalant utterance]". Band sponsor Michael Fraser was also affected by the loss of Johnson: "It'll be good to have my drums back soon."

    SB30 is currently in the intensive care unit of Behind AK's door. SB30 released a statement through the band spokesman in which he announced his retirement from all future band activities. He wishes the band all the best in their future endeavours.

    Since Will is now saving for a synth, he will no longer be purchasing a cowbell. I know, I know, tis a terrible shame. I am most apologetic it has come to this.

    Come friday filming will commence on the first ever STD Rockumentary, footage will include live jams on original and covered material plus an insiders view into our highly secretive recording process. There will be music, there will be laughter, and there will be blood.
    After years spent performing as a 3 guitar/ 1 bass matrix, the band is finally moving to rectify this drastic inefficiency by shunting former lead guitarist Will to behind a drumkit, and punting former studio guitarist Thomas 'I can't stop laughing heehawwheehaww' Landon-Lane to the piano stool.
    Will the STDs finally produce structured music? or will they implode after converting to such a conformist lineup?
    Stay tuned folks.

    oh thankee! yeah i wrote it in open D, and have since got half way to translating it into standard, but some of the chords i wont be able to get. it really could be wound up into a band number, because its in a nice common progression. and because it has actual words and a (ohmygawd) chorus

    how deceptive of you. Fark, I sort of actually quite like it a lot. The bass progression, though quite simple somehow, also has tricky little chords with your chuckin in 5ths and sus4s and all that sort of shit to make it non-traditional... Very nice. I think we should do this as a band. Like actually.

    This song is quiet. it also has mistakes. i did both of these things on purpose, because it adds warmth. its about rubiks cubes, but could probably pass as a mournful whiner about a woman

    shit yeah boi. however, to record using it i need to take my amp into the computer room and drag the computer to the lip of the desk. and i also have to hack my way through the macintosh to get to the application, which is horrid. but its vastly superior to audacity i suppose, unless you really really like blunt instrument recording programs.

    fine I am not a model then. I am a man wearing a sheep's head, which happens to feature in Icebreaker advertorials of some description. I most CERTAINLY do NOT drink Soya Mochas. That is what a true gay, imo, would drink, William.

    Because you *know* I will doubtlessly destroy somebody's musical equipment; which will consequently need replacing. The Tele is on auto-lockdown, KEEP IT AWAY! Oh yes, and I am now also a model for ice-breaker clothing; nice yes?

    also, outside of facebook, are you *really* friends with any blues musicians? ANother thing which would be good when I come up would be to introduce Rhys to James. Super secret surprise style of course...

  • luv Thomas Landon-Lane Esq.

    Yes. Actually getting good enough to gig is probably my prime reason for coming back to Auckland. I might get my amp tuned up a bit too. My guitar just keeps growing on me. I still wanna try that Allman Bros song. ANd with rhys in the picture; either him or Will could do the duet thing at the intro. (Giles didn't quite grasp it when I attempted to tute him...). Your call Will: Guitar or Drums for that song? I'm quite keen to do a bit of crossed organ and guitar switching personally...
