Idea for new band
Sat, 08/08/2009 - 9:40am
I quit my band about a month ago. I really just got tired of dealing with having to get people to show up and or dealing with the other bands attitudes. Plus the Dallas scene is swamped with tribute bands.Most of the original bands all sound the same and the cover bands play the same songs.. I just said to hell with it.
Then I got to thinking of an untapped idea for a metal/rock band.
What if I started a band with a dirty little drunk midget for a lead singer?
I would have the only band in Dallas with a midget front man. Who wouldn't want to come see a drunk Midget sing Hair of The Dog or Wrathchild?

Are u just short? I want a real little nubby fingered , big butted midget. I can tape the mic to his or her hand..and if they cant sing we will just do death/black metal and put a diistortion box on his voice

So strange... I've never been too tall before. I guess you're still on the hunt then. You'll know when you find YOUR midget though!

Already been done.......Have you ever heard of a metal band called Accept. Their singer, Udo Dirkschnider is super stumpy but has a HUGE voice. They did a tune called Balls to the wall and was on MTV's Headbanger's Ball in the '80s a lot. When they showed him, they always had the camera shot from a low angle to make him look bigger.
Also, check out a band called Killer Dwarfs.

If you use the term Little People, you might get more offers. haha.
But Dallas...man...the guy taking that role would have to be able to put up with some serious hecklers.

Gonna have to find a better way to diss you, bro - you're far too calm and collected (unless you're playing that beaut fretless 5'er of yours, in which case, you rock da house)

LOL. I need to get out and rock that thing a little more. I'm starting to get stage deprivation.
I know. We've completely derailed this thread.
Sorry, Nazman. :o

Yep. The scene here in Dallas sux . I have put the bass down and went to doing country and rock tunes at a club doing open mic. I go every Sunday night and play a 12 string and sing what I can and what I can't I have someone to sing for me and I just play.Everyone is cool and not dicks like the metal bands I shared the stage with.
Going to go play a lesbian bar here soon..You know if I see 2 chics kissing I am going to hit the wrong notes.

I don't know how serious you are about it Nazi, but I don't think a midget would lead to any success. First you'd have to find a midget who is willing to be a gimmick as well as being able to sing. Even when you do though, I don't think having a midget singer is gonna be a drawing factor. If it was a female midget who dressed like a dominatrix, you might have something worth a few small club gigs.
Let's not forget Mini Kiss
They tour with Mini-Brittany
I'd like to hit that baby one more time!!!
If I could sing I'd be your MAN! :D
