- Messaggio personale
- Everyone's favourite innuendo loving acoustic trio!
- Tutto su di me
- Three Men Who, When Standing Side By Side, Have A Wingspan Of Over Twelve Feet is a mythical guitar based grouping. Does it exist? Not even its members know for sure, but all is in place for us to achieve musical genius! Currently our members are:
Alex Lee - Guitar/Vocals/Writer/Ukelele
Tom Oldale - Guitar/Vocals/Pimpologist
Michael Laskey - Guitar/Backing Vocals/Writer/Ukulele
Our name was briefly used by Fountains Of Wayne, one of our biggest influences. Our inspirations include acts from Fountains Of Wayne, Tenacious D and Barenaked Ladies to Blink-182, The Gay Potatoes and The Stranglers.
What has been said about The Wingspan by those 'in the know':
"Like your stuff. It reminds me of the Ben Lee band before he went solo called Noise Addict. Nice. Keep writing songs."
- Dave Schneider of The Zambonis

Official Statement From The Wingspan
As I'm sure you have heard, rumours have been circulating that Tom Oldale has withdrawn himself from The Wingspan. The Wingspan would like to confirm this speculation and wish Tom well as he departs the band. The move is amicable and was due to musical differences; Mike and Al wished to continue playing music, Tom did not. The news means that we will no longer be officially known as 'Three Men Who, When Standing Side By Side, Have A Wingspan Of Over Twelve Feet'. We shall now be known simply as 'The Wingspan', or, if you wish, 'The Artists Formerly Known As The Three Man Wingspan'. There is an outstanding invitation for Tom to return or for him to collaborate with the band in the future. We remain brothers.
Thank you and keep spanning!

The Ballad Of Kyle Wellwood
Not actually a ballad at all. It's all power chords. Based on myself and Tom as well as Kyle Wellwood, the Halo playing Maple Leaf failure.
Another piece of homework
For me to do
Guess I'll have to find
Another excuse
Parents want me to mow the grass
I'm gonna tell 'em to kiss my ass
CHORUS
Cos a new video game came out today
An FPS that will blow you away
It's rated 18 and it doesn't hold back
Plenty of zombies for you to attack
I'm halfway through, almost at the first boss
My grades are slipping with educational loss
Social life? I haven't got time
Cos I'm in a clan and playing online
Another angry teacher
On my case
Got to get this jerk
Out of my face
People telling me that gaming breeds hate
But look at Kyle Wellwood, he turned out great!
CHORUS
A new video game came out today
An FPS that will blow you away
It's rated 18 and it doesn't hold back
Plenty of zombies for you to attack
I'm halfway through, almost at the first boss
My grades are slipping with educational loss
Social life? I haven't got time
Cos I'm in a clan and playing online
Newspaper writers
Condemn the games
They say they're infecting
Young people's brains
People telling me that I'm a waster
But I just got a kill with the Spartan laser
CHORUS
A new video game came out today
An FPS that will blow you away
It's rated 18 and it doesn't hold back
Plenty of zombies for you to attack
I'm halfway through, almost at the first boss
My grades are slipping with educational loss
Social life? I haven't got time
Cos I'm in a clan and playing online

I Enjoy Several Sports
Re-make of the classic that we will all remember from the 80's, 'I Enjoy Several Sports' originally written and performed by 'The Immortal Hamsters' feat. Alex Lee From The Wingspan.
G....................C
Hole In One, what a shot
G..........................D
I'm 3 under par, what've you got?
100 meter sprint, I’m up front
He tries to take over, give him a shunt.
Aced the serve, grand slam
Who’s plays for Britain? Anyone can.
Long jump, can’t be hard
had a go, couldn’t make a yard.
Am..................E
But I enjoy several sports
G ...................C..............
....D
Be an athlete, like I was taught.
Am..........................E
I’m going to take lots of speed
G.....................C...........
......D
And hope that I don’t get caught!
Fight a guy, looks pretty hard
Tried to jump, back in my car / Wish I had a better mouthguard
Bowls a strike, 10 pins down
I’m just dreaming, still in my dressing gown.
Throws a spin, is it hit for six?
Umpire says “foul“, ref’s are dicks.
Hammer throw, into the air
goes three meters, I don’t care.
Am..................E
But I enjoy several sports
G ...................C..............
....D
Be an athlete, like I was taught.
Am..........................E
I’m going to take lots of speed
G.....................C...........
......D
And hope that I don’t get caught!
The Wingspan will be recording the heart-warming 'One hit wonder', in the very near future.
Many Thanks,
Wingspan Member - Alex Lee.1 commento 664 giorni
