Just played a Benefit which had quite a diverse entainment line-up. My band which plays a Indy Rock style was followed by a Tom Jones tribute band, a metal band whose lead singer wore a "Cookie Monster" puppet head and had Seasame Street themed lyrics, a porno clown mime troupe and a industrial noise band. Pretty much covered a lot of bases LOL!
Anyone else play on some weird or unusual bills?
Wow, the coolest things happen in Ca!
I been to some weird and wonderful after parties, but never been on a bill like that.
How bizarre, how bizarre!
A good friend of mine had a gig in NYC where the warm up band cancelled last minute so he now had to play the whole night. After they got set-up, they were walking down the street and saw a bunch of bald head wigs for sale cheap. They bought 5 of them and did the opening set as "The Kojaks". Brilliant!
That was a brilliant move! Though not as impromptue it brings back memories of a 60's band I was in that broke the material into three sets from early, middle and late 60s and we would wear wigs & outfits to attain the look from each era. Sooo glad no pictures ever surfaced from those shows.Quote:

We used to have arguments amongst ourselves at certain gigs because of the wig thing especially when we found we were booked into a redneck bar or one that had only a small audience!
