OK. I've kept this close to the vest, but it's time to share my project with my friends at the Army. The lineup is FINALLY set, and I'm pretty proud of the players.
I've put together a project called Mulletude.
A little background - bear with me - Starwood thinks you're gonna like this.
Remember the last time you went to a club/show and saw these overaged, balding, fat dudes playing 80s hard rock classics? Not only that, they're all serious about it - which makes it even more pathetic. Chances are, you were surrounded by the "crowd" which basically was their wives, their fat friends, and the few buddies that still go to the gig to support (most went to the first couple as a favor, but now are busy on Friday nights).
I went to too many. Most of the time, the music was OK, but these bands were wayyyyyy too serious about this 80s hardrock/metal genre.
Here's one thing we all have to face. 80s hard rock/metal still lives, but to most people, it has been become a parody of itself.
So. Why not look it right in the eye and make fun out of it? While we're at it - why don't we build it around THE premier laughing stock of the 80's hard rock genre - THE MULLET.
I've finally assembled a smoking hot lineup of great players, a KILLER singer that can mimic just about anyone, back-up dancers/singers (we call them Femullets), and visuals on 6 trailer-style cheap TV monitors (hillarious mullet pix, WWF, 80's Soft Porn, COPS, Dukes of Hazzard clips, etc). Hard rocking, mullet wearing motherfuckers with an attitude. Mulletude.
The music is one thing - and I'm a picky demanding bastard - but the show has to be a fun/entertaining production.
Do we wear Mullets? Biggest we can find. Mine's the size of Rhode Island. Do we wear the stonewash jeans, Oakley Blades, and Krokus concert jerseys? Only if there's a Taco Bell hot sauce stain on it.
So - Here's what I need from you if you're down for helping a brother's project out:
Your suggestions of the greatest Mullet anthems ever made. We think we have a killer set, but I'd love to hear what you think. Keep it party rock, white trash, not too obscure, and 80s metal/hair band era. And yeah, we do Eruption/You Really Got Me.
Your suggestions on any visuals that may add to the show. Black-out a couple teeth on the Femullets? Shit like that.
Any ides for the site. http://www.mulletude.net/ is what is up now. Single page - funny - but just temporary. Full site is in the works with ideas so far like bio pages of the members (my handle is Fred Neck), etc.
Looking forward to the feedback from my fellow demented Dave fans.
Cheers,
SW
ps. Here's a pic of my bass drum head on my Ludwig 26". You feelin me?
