What’s Your All-Star Birthday Band?
Yet another great pastime brought to you by the wonderful world of Wikipedia.
It’s as easy as going to Wikipedia and entering your birth month and date. Once your birthday page comes up you will see all kinds of interesting events, birthdays and deaths that have occurred on your birthday. Create a band comprised of members who share the same birthday as you. Of course no one’s is perfect (I have no true bass player), but feel free to post your Allstar Birthday Band in the comments if you think they could rock your face off.
The Steussels (May 30th) is made up of: Stephen Malkmus of Pavement (1966) on Lead Vocals & Guitar. Cee-Lo (1974), Wynonna Judd (1964), Yoona; first ever member of Korean girl supergroup Girls’ Generation (1990) on Back-Up Vocals. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine (1964) on Lead Guitar. Topper Headon of The Clash (1955) on Drums. And, I’m sure Wynonna could slappa da bass.
Haha The Steusels would rule. Still a week and a half to pitch the idea, make it happen in Austin.
The Battle of Hastings:
Some dude from Whitesnake, Twisted Sister (not Dee Snyder, thank God), and the Moody Blues. Co-lead vocalists Usher and Natalie Manes, not too shabby.
