Hannelore has already performed in public, at the karaoke bar.

Hannelore has already performed in public, at the karaoke bar.

But that time everyone else knew the song. Though at least she wouldn't need to sing this time.

I wonder how a show from a car would sound? I've hear they're popular in Britain. 

[Carl-E]

I thought they preferred rooftops over there....

[Skewbrow]

I wonder how a show from a car would sound? I've hear they're popular in Britain. 

Them slowly cruising around, say Smif campus, in a convertible and playing their two songs alternately would be cool. And:

• Who would do the driving.
• What would calm down Hannelore.
• I don't know. Can't really see it working.

Don't shoot me.

[Kugai]

Comeon Hanners

Don't let them down.

[westrim]

I Googled "band in a car", intending to find an image of people playing instruments in an open top, but instead I found this:

In the US, you drive to a rock concert. In Russia, rock concert drives to YOU!

[TinPenguin]

This Deathmole arc is giving me the happies.

Fours strings is all you need.

The man behind her with the massive harp disagrees.

[Fen]

Marten's crotch in the 3rd panel looks too much like something else 

[ankhtahr]

sooo, this Deathmøle arc is actually a Hanners development arc? Woohoo!

(just imagine I made a sound like this:)

[Akima]

I'm sure she can, really, but the video somehow gives me the impression that she's playing all those high notes because she can't reach the far end of the fretboard... 

Wu Man can do anything with a pipa, including using the ledges as those big wedge-shaped stops on the neck are known. Wu Man is awesome.

A fifteen-minute set? Two seven-minute songs would be a tight fit, wouldn't they? Setup takes time, introductions take time, applause takes time... I don't know what I'm talking about, do I?

Come on Hanners; you can sing karaoke, you can play drums.

[jwhouk]

Two seven minute songs and a few guitar solos - and, if Hannelore can be convinced, a drum solo! - could stretch out a concert to at least a half-hour.

[gopher]

Marten's crotch in the 3rd panel looks too much like something else 

Defifnitely a bit of a mangina going on.

[Tova]

The third panel ought to be their album cover.

I mean, it pretty much captures their personalities.

"Mangina" sounds like a male heart condition, really.

[Method of Madness]

@Westrim - That was awesome, but I couldn't help but be disappointed that they weren't playing Highway Star.

You know the trope: "Put On A Bus". Who'd be the most SURPRISING Bus Rider of the QC cast?

I'll take "Anal Bum Cover" for $200, Alex.

Re:1st Item of Poll
I'm quite sure Hannelore wouldn't run away from a concert. Get stuck frozen until someone carries her off-stage, now that's another thing.

[Zebediah]

Hannelore just needs to learn to channel her mother a little bit. We've seen that she's capable of it. Just turn the bitch-from-hell knob up a couple of clicks,  start drumming, and she'll totally own that crowd.

[rschill]

To start off, she could play with her back to the audience like Eddie Van Halen did in the beginning, or maybe in a full body costume.

[celticgeek]

I think Hanners should start off by leading the crowd in a "Row, row, row your boat" round, to warm them up.

[TinPenguin]

To start off, she could play with her back to the audience like Eddie Van Halen did in the beginning, or maybe in a full body costume.

Both of those are a little more difficult when you're a drummer...

I have no idea what your post means.

because you are false

[Loki]

Why is drumming with the back to the audience difficult? I genuinely have no idea.

[Redball]

Why is drumming with the back to the audience difficult? I genuinely have no idea.

How important is it to see the other performers? It surely helps singing.

[Method of Madness]

Not very helpful.

[jwhouk]

Ah, but there is no singing in Deathmole!

[Loki]

You could surely set your drums up in a way that allows this?

Code: [Select]

A    M    <-Amir / Marten
 oOo      <-drums
  H       <-Hanners
-------   <-End of stage
CCCCCCC   <-Crowd


[jmucchiello]

Amir, the real answer to Marten taking up all the low end space is to play lead on the bass. "High" notes on a bass are always awesome. Or get a 5-string bass.

[Redball]

Would Hanners be comfortable with guys who could see only her bottom? And her back, blonde hair and arms, for that matter.
What's disease: My wife and I spent the summer of 2005 in NYC, near Central Park. We saw "Two Gentlemen of Verona: The Musical" at the Delacorte Theater in the park, the site of Shakespeare in the Park. Music was by Galt McDermot, composer of "Hair" and the production had a strong Puerto Rican accent. Musicians were placed on a platform over the stage, directed by a shapely young woman who faced away from the audience. The New York Times reviewer got it right:

Actually, the sexiest presence in "Two Gentlemen" can be found above the fray - on the central raised platform, where the onstage band is stationed. There, one Kimberly Grigsby, the show's lithe conductor, presides in a long summery skirt and backless top, undulating like a palm in the wind. She is an irresistible human metronome, channeling the relaxed sensual rhythm that "Two Gentlemen" is really all about.

[TinPenguin]

That set-up would not make sense. Plus, I'm sure Hanners would feel a lot safer hidden behind the drum kit than right at the front of the stage with the crowd all behind her...

[Loki]

That set-up would not make sense.

Why not? Please enlighten someone who has never been to a live concert in his life, if you don't count school shows and a small band of classmates that never quite took off.

[Neko_Ali]

It wouldn't make sense because Hanners would have her back to the crowd to play the drums, thereby negating the point of putting the drums to the front of the band. Not to mention, with Marten and Amir behind the drum kit, they would be partly eclipsed from the crowd.. which is why the drum kit is put in the back typically, so it doesn't get in the way of the rest of the band.

[JKChris]

But.. The whole reason the thought of having Hanner's back be to the crowd was so she didnt freak out, whether that be at the front or back of the band..

That being said, there was mentioned that it would be easier if all the band members could see each other.. hence Marten and Amir being towards teh back looking forward, technically solves all the problems of band members being in eye contact and Hanner's not seeing the crowd.

Still not very plausible in my opinion.. but it solves most of the issues.

[westrim]

She could play behind a curtain with a spotlight behind her so her motions are displayed on the curtain.

[rschill]

Faye should fashion a mole skull mask.  There would  be an effective social shield which might help Hanners and give people something visual to remember the band by. 

Or perhaps they can start playing in front of a few friends at first and gradually work up to larger crowds. 

[Is it cold in here?]

Hanners could play the drums blindfolded at this point.

Notice what happens when you combine the idea of warming up the audience with the idea of Hannelore channeling her inner mom.

Just how many bass players are in this band anyway?

The name Deathmole brings to mind a certain band image - a Darth Vader costume?

I was actually imagining napalm but you've got the general idea.

Would anyone be surprised if their first concert turns out to be a 48-hour drum solo?

[Method of Madness]

Hanners is the only one awake at the end.

In  28/4 time?

@Comic:
Why does "popping a boner" sound like something casually exploded?

I'm thinking the explosion would happen after said boner made an appearance...
