Method of Madness:
Yeah, but she probably feels that dresses are for special occasions (like parties and such). She was probably on a raid and needed caffeine, not like she needs to put on her finery for that.
Shremedy:
@tender, just what point are you trying to make? What are you actually disagreeing with? I don't recognize the pictured band, so your example is wasted bandwidth.
I'm not IGNORING any particular genres of music, I'm discarding them as unsuitable or inapplicable to what Deathmöle would conceivably be creating! I'm saying that if they want to play at bars or other cool, popular (and most importantly, moneymaking, the whole point of being a "pro") venues -- they need a lyricist and/or a lead singer. None of the existing members are lead singer material. I think we can agree on THAT, right?
Unless their target gigs are art galleries, symphony halls, hotel lobbies, or other places where they will merely be instrumental background, aka "elevator music". That's what I was trying to say with my earlier examples of typically instrumental-only groups. Deathmöle AIN'T IN THOSE CATEGORIES!
I'm not talking strike-it-rich moneymaking, just enough to fill the band van's gas tank (they DO have a van, right? Or a trailer? If they don't it's another sign that they're nothing more than dilettantes), buy some fast food for everyone following the gig, and maybe (if it's far enough from home) pay for a hotel room.
Whatever ELSE the hypothetical lyricist/lead singer adds to the mix -- vocals, guitar, keyboard, theremin, blue-man-group tubulum -- is frankly IRRELEVANT to my point, which seem to be being missed here, but would be a very useful enrichment to their existing sound. At absolute bare minimum, they need a lead singer and a lyricist. Best if those roles were combined in a single person. That is the sum total of my point.

Because there's nothing cool about venues where non-vocal music is played? And nobody makes a living in those styles? If you're not meaning to be dismissive of every style of professional music other than band-with-vocalist, you're maybe not getting that point across. :-)
Edit: Fixed stupid punctuation error.

Yes, and everyone else is saying "no they don't" - what part of that are you not catching?
Is it cold in here?:
We don't really know the band's market segment, do we? Does the band even know?
