how to form a sucky band, kudos to SOFT :)

-- The guitarist must have more pedals than a China bicycle factory. Jam studio lights must dim when he plugs them in

-- The singer must act like he is is playing an arena, with slogans like "let's make some noooooize!!!' or "wooohooo!!" and pumping his fists. Inside the jam studio

-- He must suddenly speak with an American accent on stage even though he was born in Bukit Batok. Must have on-mike verbal diarrhea between songs.

-- Must rehearse only when there is a gig coming up

-- At rehearsal, the drummer must only play at two volumes -- loud, and loud enough for the band in the next studio to jam along

-- You must spend more time talking about music over kopi or beer at the kopitiam outside the jam studio than you spend inside the studio, practising music

-- Must keep at least one guy who can't play, because he is the brudder/cousin/ah long of another member. Bonus points if you keep that guy around because he has a car/the most effects pedals/always pays for the studio/ has the "rawk god" look
