Right! Uber i have come to you today with a plea for help.
Since i know you brilliant people out there are all slightly crazy(to say the least) and that a fair few of you have been/are in bands or are great appreciators of music in general, i have come to you with a request for suggestions and ideas.
Basically my band are playing a gig in a week or two. The music is very crazy, funny music. Crazy clown/circus music you may say. We are needing idea's for our 'show' ...
Something funny, imaginative and well funny.
We already have some stuff going on but want to put in/on as much of a show as we can.
Hit me uber.
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me...

Ok but with local bands people normally don't go to see stuff like that. All they really want is good music and good company. I doubt seriously that anyone is going to remember the gimmicks later. Their just going to remember if the band was any good or not.

SupremeBeing: I don't feel like we need a gimmick FOR people to enjoy the show. I'm confidant in the music itself, its just that with extra props/covers/'gimmicks' it makes the show MORE entertaining visually/audibally etc...
j0andre1: Crazy clown circus music! hehe! Yeah with a hint of metal...
If i had to try and liken it to others music i'd say think... Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Melvins, Estradosphere, Zappa, Beefheart sort of lines, err... ish
BonesForBucks: We already have a dressing up theme, but the whole two part horse costume will fit in nicely! I'll try and sort that one out. + it'd be funny as fuck.

rent a few animals from a local zoo and force feed the all hay and laxatives...........then.........have a HUGE SHIT fight between sets....(be sure to target any local band critics in the crowd)......Or better yet......do the "CALIGULA" thing and seach out some freaks to use as stage hands and props.........nothing says UBER like an 8 foot mic guy(get the guy from the movie "BIG FISH"

Come out on stage flip off the audience then shake your wieners at them as your running out the door.
That's it! Don't play anything. That will get their attention.
Besides if you feel you need some sort of a gimmick for people to enjoy your show then you really need to rethink your type of music and or practice more.

You need to get one of those two-person horse costumes, and have two different people in the band wear them, like the backup guitarist and the bassist.

"Pyrotechnics could be interesting... Hmmmm"
I think Great White had this very thought a little over a year ago.

Rock out....err perhaps some minor pyrotechnics would be good. Make sure the band and audience are very very drunk. Light your instruments/bandmates on fire. Make inflammatory comments about everything, especially the bush administrations. Start a pit.
