Inspired by the drawing sheet we sent along to with the release of the latest Bobbledy album Absurd is the Bird, Bobbledy club member Lena P. sent us this phenomenal drawing of her rock band.
Lena did not provide any accompanying description, but given that each picture is worth 1,000, I will do my best to extrapolate.
There are four people in the band. Five, if you count the cowbell-weilding interloper in the background. I’m not convinced he has any place with this extremely cool and confident crew. Perhaps he is an eager fan who crept on stage seeking his moment in the spotlight. Perhaps he is someone’s nephew. Let’s put this question to rest for the moment and focus on others.
Clearly, they are incredible musicians. The singer and lead guitar player have the hair to prove it. It has been scientifically demonstrated that tall red hair and bright pink shoes are iron evidence of the ability to play a shredding lead guitar.
Furthermore, tall brown hair and bright pink shirt when worn with bright green pants and bright yellow shoes basically allow one to sing like Robert Plant mixed with Freddy Mercury mixed with Roger Daltry.
Everyone knows that viola players, being somewhat more understated, prefer short blue hair, green shirts, red pants, and orange shoes.
And that drummers usually have really flashy hair (pink with blue stars!), but are otherwise so shy that they have to hid behind Ws.
I would like to know what kind of music this band plays, but unfortunately, in spite of the 1,000 words this picture gave me, none of them were sung out loud.
Perhaps Lena, in collaboration with her dad, who is, we know, a kind of rock star in his own right, will write a song and send it to us to post here on this blog. Was that a gauntlet thrown? Indeed it was.
We know where you live, Josh P.
As for you, Lena, thank you for sending this picture! We can’t wait to see (and hear) where it leads you next.
