What an original idea!Not that a trillion people living in squats around the world haven't thought of that before.

If you really want to shock and move people, you should find three other members and form a barbershop quartet or doo-wop group. Vocal harmony. Give yourself a name like "The ______s" and practice everyday for a couple hours. Develop a repertoire of classic tunes and then write your own songs in highly virtuosic chromatic four-part harmony. But this is important: wait until you have perfected your ensemble, intonation, and so on before you perform. The exhibition of finely-sculpted musicianship will be more shocking and moving than some display of a shit-eating scream-fest, any day.

Mmmm, a folk trio would also be good.

The Uncircumsized Dicks was always an imaginary band name I liked.

I do love this concept. I think "The Power Violences" would be the perfect name for this barbershop quartet.

This fourum has become increasingly more dangerous to view in public places.
