But this is no illusion.
I came across a new 'boy-band' named Vice on Myspace. Although I'm mostly on Facebook nowadays, I still use Myspace to find new music and comedians and whats-not. So I get this friend request from Vice, and they're all secretive and stuff. "Sign up to receive a password to go to a website once we send you an email letting you know when you can preview some music!"
Well . . . as I've said before, I'm a sucker for marketing. So I'm immediately interested.
I sign up.
A month later, I get the email with the password.
Two weeks after that, I get the web-link for the sneak peek.
And this is what I see
And I immediately think of my Next-Gen-lovin' LJ-friends, because . . . come on . . . if that's not Albus, James, Scorpius, and Hugo in a boy-band, then I don't know what is!
In fact, didn't someone write that story already?abusing_sarcasm? draykonis??
~sigh~
Their music is . . . odd, for a boy-band. Some are very danceable, but nothing radio-dancey. Of the four songs I've heard, there is a ballad that's nice, I guess, if you like typical boy-band ballads. But their Adam-Ant-wannabe "war paint" leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, if you're gonna do it, then do it. Here, let me show you . . .
That's how you do poncey war paint! And pirate-glam, too, in case you're gonna try a glittery eye-patch for your next promo shot.
Okay, that is all. Oh, and if you decide to see Drag Me to Hell, you should probably see it drunk or stoned. I mean, it's not bad, but it's definitely not something you should see without chemical assistance. Oh, and bring ear plugs, because Raimi ain't scerd to scare you by bloody ears.

Draykonis wrote Rock On, to do with a band, I think that may be the one you're thinking of.

And yeah, Nu-New Romantics. They could at least try to be somewhat more original . . . maybe thinking of Future Couture . . FuCouture? :lol: gay space pirate aliens comes to mind.
