sound gay knows all tells all. Hey by the way what the hell happened to your girlfriend, she got fat. um, i don't really talk about my girlfriend. we aren't exactly what you'd call out, you know? i'm just kidding. i wish i was cool enough to have a girlfriend, but i'm not. see my comments regarding this matter in my "staunton v mt. olive" essay, if you are interested in further reading...

so how would $15 charged to my debit card equal exposure? and we have a gig in St. Louis at a venue 4 times the size of the broadway oyster bar and 20 times more prestigious. but you're all up in arms because we won't pay $15 for a remote chance that we might play a bar? there are some things you never do. You never go to Vegas for the weekend with Scott Wieland and you never pay to play. suck it up and quit bitching. i swear to god. besides, broadway oyster bar has two things that i am all about. one, they have a huge replica of botticelli's venus (commonly known in art-minded circles as venus on a half shell) made mostly out of half shells. how fucking fun is that? and two, they have vodka oyster shooters. good ones, not shitty ones like that one time i tried to make them at shot luck 2004. so again, i say suck it up. you know, the paying of the money, AND the oysters!!! (and, by the way, i would go to vegas with just about anybody. and the only thing i'm up in arms about is that the sound guy was "lol"-ing me) ok.ok,ok, I dropped the 15 bucks and entered us. now someone has to write a one page bio I hate doing these things and I could really use some help. here's the criteria as described by sonicbids This is your opportunity to describe your music and your band in detail. What are your influences? What sets you apart from other bands? What is your story?so there you have it come up with something good cuz i've got nothing

What is your story?so there you have it come up with something good cuz i've got nothing now that's more like it. as for you being unable to come up with something good, i happen to know that you have a slight penchant for the turning of a phrase, so don't give up so quickly. if nobody has come up with anything better by friday, say noon-ish, i'll just theoretically cut and paste up something from the written crap i've collected from you over time, that you can utilize or disregard. but, i promise, you can come up with something better by friday.

A one page bio is pretty easy. I get lots of them. They're almost all the same. Here's what you do/make:
Heading: Band name
Bio: Use the stuff on your OPW Artist Info page. Embellish a bit with how/when you started, influences, target markets (other than Mt. Olive, White City, Sawyerville, and Walshville). Keep your discription of your music to a minimal so people can form their own opinion. Add band members names/instruments played.
Highlights: Featured on The Point, Latherfest, Mississippi Nights, mtscallyradio, blah blah blah.
Contact info:
For more information on shows, downloads, and whatever else, visit the website.
Also, put a picture of your album on the right center of the page. Make it large enough so people can actually see it. That will take up a lot of empty space.
You can print it out in black and white if you use a colored paper for printing. I'm thinking of orange as your color.
Print. Hand out to people at the show. The least you could get out of this experience is meeting up with other local bands. You guys might be able to gig with another band that you meet. Or you might find another band that would be interested in playing at Latherfest.
Don't worry. You won't be graded on this. It's the music that counts. Don't make it tougher than it is.

this is minus all the pics, bells and whistles. i can email the file at your request. i basically just cut and pasted a bunch of stuff from the website. thanks for the tips trapper. ORANGE PUNCH WARFARE BIO RICK * ROB * Jake * Dennis * PAT Somewhere between Nirvana, the Grateful Dead, and some really crappy band, there is Orange Punch Warfare..... Psychedelic mid-west garage pop outta small town,mid-western America, O.P.dub continues their battle against musical mediocrity. Lovingly referred to as OPDub by their legions of screaming fans, the band consists of Rick(VOCALS/GUITAR), Rob(VOCALS/KEYBOARD), Dennis(DRUMS), Jake(BASS), and Pat(GUITAR). Since forming a little over four years ago, O.P.W. has split their time between bickering, playing gigs and working on their second album, which will be released sometime in 2006. They describe their sound as Post-Impressionist Slop. Their influences include everything from Isis, the Temptations, the Beatles, Tool, and Iron Maiden to Public Enemy and Blood, Sweat and Tears. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN PLAYING AT MISSISSIPPI NIGHTS IN ST. LOUIS AT THE BEGINNING OF 2006, BEING FEATURED ON 105.7 THE POINT AS WELL AS MANY OTHER LOCAL EVENTS LIKE LATHERFEST (A CELEBRATION OF LOCAL MUSIC) IN MT. OLIVE, IL AND BEING A FEATURED ACT ON ONE OR MORE EDITIONS OF MT. SCALLY RADIO WHICH CAN BE DOWNLOADED ON THEIR WEBSITE.

I would take out the "really crappy band" in the first sentence. I think it would be better to keep crappy out of the first sentence.
I would be more precise with your time in the second paragraph, "In the past 5 years, some highlights have been playing..." "as well as performing at many"...
Try to keep the negativity at a minimum. When you're trying to sell something to a person who knows nothing about the product, keep everything positive. If you go to buy a car and the salesman says everything positive about the car you want, except that the seat is uncomfortable, you'll think about that one feature over everything else.
I'm happy that you're taking on this project for the guys. Like I wrote before, you aren't being graded on this project. So don't take my comments negatively. I'm trying to help y'all out.

I would take out the "really crappy band" in the first sentence. dude....you can't take out the punch line as for getting a serious bio out of us,not happenin' nothing makes me wanna vomit more than some pretentious dill holes who's bio reads like " The Joe Schmoe band is an eclectic mix of jazz,funk,zydeco,blues,trance,and upbeat rock...." Then it will typically lead to some qoute by the songwriter talking about how brilliant his own songs are,or something along the lines of how they sing about life and love. I'd like to think that after reading 1000 bios like that, when they get to the band who's somewhere between the DEad,Nirvana,and some really crappy band, they might wanna hear it,just on the lack of hubris.
