Oddity

[[deleted user]]

This is actually a band. They're in Making the Skies Fall and I want them to seem like an individual and really legit band. So here it goes:

What I know about Oddity so far:

Mitch Dawes-Lead vocals, occasionally guitar, backing vocals, and harmonica! (Muahahahahahaha!)
Nicky Starr-(if ANYONE says anything about Ringo Starr or just the Beatles in general, I WILL SET YOU ON FIRE.) Lead guitar and occasionally bass.
Ryan Sherwood-Rhythm guitar
Alex Takahashi-Drums
Brad Norwell-Bass
Harvey Madison-Keyboards, backing vocals, lead vocals on one or two songs. All you really need to know about Harvey is if there were a Piano God, that would be Harvey.

I have a discography...somewhere...but I don't want to post it because I'm lazy. WHAT.

They were (or...will be...rather...) formed in 2014 in a small town in Utah (be nice to Utah, peeps). Would it help to know a little bit of the history behind their forming?

Genre: I'm kind of thinking alternative/slightly hard rock with an indie feel...if you could ever mash Feist and Guster and Paramore into one band and one sound, you would have Oddity. Oh snap. I just had a vison of them as an Emo band. But that won't happen. Forget I even said anything. It wouldn't work.

Trademarks: Well, honestly, the only thing that really stands out about Oddity is the fact that their exceptionally gorgeous lead singer frequently wears red leather during concerts. Oh, and they often write songs that make allusions to real people/places/events/politics. And one of their songs will be banned from radio stations because it mocks a certain futuristic presidential candidate.
What I need help with: Really quirky trademarks. I want them to have as much personality and weirdness as Lady GaGa but in a much less...ah, disturbing way.

Give Alex a really tight skeleton suit that he wears to concerts. xD Hehe. No, that's The Who.

Ah, quirks...

Maybe one of the guitarists refuses to play with a pick?

I'll think of more in a moment.

Nicky. For sure.

XD the skeleton outfit...Ooh, or really frilly sleeves...like Charlie Watts XD

[Julian]

YES.

I think Mitch would kill me if I did the frilly sleeves, though. Charlie Watt's is the Rolling Stones drummer.

[Julian]

Yeaah. He might.

Yay! This is just brainstorming, so I won't feel terrible at all if you don't like these:

One of them should have TERRIBLE hair in the early days of the band. *coughRyanMillercough*

One of them could perform shirtless... kidding... ish... xD

They could have one song every concert or so where the band members switch it up and play an instrument they're terrible at... or something... for laughs... I don't know? Or they could do an improv song that they just make up on the spot.

Need... more... brainpower...

I'm trying to convince him that Charlie is much better than Mick. But he keeps saying, "then why the #@#$!% are they still in a band together?"

This boy is annoying me.

Hehehe, Ryan for sure will have terrible hair XD

Heheh. Brad will perform shirtless. Just to annoy Mitch XD.

Hmmmm...I think I might take the improv song into consideration...

Thanks Maxy!

YES! Heehee. No problem. This is fun for me to think about. =D

Maybe they throw skittles around in their concerts... or they give out electric candles for people to wave during an epic song. xD MEEP!

[Julian]

YES!

[RedPath]

Maybe the band has a slogan. Something like, "Making the skies fall with every song," or, "Careful, the llama bites."

LOVE GUSTER! DON'T EAT THEM!

...sorry...

I approve of the electric candles. And the skittle thing could be fun.

YES! "Careful, the llama bites" is a classic Nicky saying! RedPath, you are so smart!
