I kept getting these notices on a comment I made.
Thank you @egads, @hotcocoagirl, and @sicarius for making me laugh.
Though I think Bitter Killjoys makes a great punk band name. I promise to have no expectations on the quality of music.
*tunes guitar*
*gets out suggestions for bookclub*
So… a dream of mine in college was to start a feminist bookclub/sewing circle. It never got off the ground though…
I can’t sing or play an instrument, but after reading several punk biographies this doesn’t appear to be a deal breaker when forming a band. I have punched someone in the face in a mosh pit though.
So HotCocoa seems like the name of a guitarist, and Egads as the british drummer. Then Sicarius is the singer? The names already fit.
Then you need Mindy as the keyboard player who would be the one to fall in love with a singer from another band. https://pm1.narvii.com/6232/1b36b3382b9c01d5ab900b600d23d6f20a6199a6_hq.jpg
Siren Sicarius. It really does all fit. ( @sicarius can we songwrite together? Or since this is punk rock do we have to be divas and fight over whose name is where?)
Bev, it sounds like you’re our first groupie 😉 Prepare for the mosh pit!
@bcampbell1662 I regret to say that I am not nearly coordinated enough to even pretend to be a drummer. @hotcocoagirl was being kind. I believe you will make a smashing drummer, and I will stand to the side and I will tambourine, probably off the beat. I can, however knit everyone matching scarves, or even socks to wear with big black boots.
(also not a Brit unfortunately, I was making a Meteor Garden reference, and now realize we need to invite @kimbapnoona to the band)
Oh damn what’d i miss? I for an hr to go for a swim, loose my favourite ring, almost die of this bloody never ending migraine and come back to find I’ve joined a band. Wild.
Siren Sicarius eh… I’ll just scream into the mic then. Ahem. Wait we’re not a screamo band… uh… @hotcocoagirl– I have a modicum of poetry and songwriting experience under my belt already so yes! we can. Divas are saved for pop ma’am. We’re the Bitter Killjoys. Aint nobody got time for drama.
@egads our signature look is a combination of leather and knitwear.
Siren Sic, you never know what happens when you’re near water and in a bad mood…. I’m so excited for our song writing sessions, I have a bunch of angsty poetry we can use.
Wow I was upgraded fast. From a stan to a manager….I’m glad your expectations are low. @egads is there anything more punk than making your own instrument out of knitting needles?
Ah, this is where the mosh pit comment came from!!! I dated a drummer in a punk band in college and am listening to Day6 now (who has punk undertones), can I join the club!
So, IRL, I can play piano, guitar, violin and sing. But I’d love to learn bass in my virtual one! Actually, playing violin is useful for playing bass, same strings!
@egads I say electric violin sounds like a great way to keep our punk rock unique. Also, I realized that Bev is the one who formed this band, shall we dub her the manager of the Bitter Killjoys?
@hotcocoagirl, good idea, someone needs to manage this motley crew and @bcampbell1662 likely has it more together than me. It will be all I can do to remember to pack my tambourine for the tour, and I might have to resort to wacking my knitting needles together on stage.
Good thing @ally brings actual musical talent, my oboe and flute days are too far in the depths of memory to be of any use.

Bitter Killjoys is an awesome band name for female punk band. Or a book club.

Egads, you were made to be in a female punk band. *hands you a tambourine and studded jacket to go with your hat*

Yay a tambourine! I’ll never go hungry in London!

Expect nothing from our music. It is merely a weak whisper to the void.

Punk is a strong loud yell to the void. I picture the Bitter Killjoys snarling while drinking coffee in a New York diner that’s seen better days.

It’s a whisper because we’ve strained our voices with screaming the chorus over and over again
