It’s been ages since we’ve posted and it’ll probably be additional ages proceeding this post, so don’t bother checking back… BUUUUT wanted to let you playaaas know we’ve got some new t-shirt designs we’re thinking about. I’ve ordered a prototype of one shirt so far. The front plays on the fact that 90% of the [...]
You got iced, Joe.
Joining in on the inane Bros Icing Bros phenomenon (mainly because I’ve been iced twice, or “twiced” if you will, by Laura and Collin in the past few weeks), I decided to spread the love and ice Joe at his recent co-ed baby shower.
Minneapolis cover band mentioned on Fox 11 – Rock Cancer
Anticipation is rising for Rock Cancer 2010!! This was seriously our favorite gig of 2009, so we are way beyond pumped to be a part of this again. Below is some video of concert promoter Jim Spierings being interviewed last year by Fox11 days before the event. Jim mentions us as The Subsidies, which was the [...]
“Poetry” contest
Every year at work, we have a poetry contest to help narrow the gap between Presidents day and Memorial day. Last year, the theme was focused on ”the shuttle” that brings employees from their cars through our marathon-length parking lot to the front doors, and last year, I won said contest by writing a rap [...]
What’s a flash mob anyway?
“Flash mom?” ”Flash Bob?” ”Flash kebab?” You wouldn’t believe what people think we’re saying when we tell them our band name. Even though the term “flash mob” has been in use since 2003, even making its way into Webster’s New Millennium Dictionary of English last year, it still hasn’t been completely adopted it into the [...]
Utilizing iMovie to promote a Minneapolis cover band
Seriously, how flipping awesome is iMovie?!? I’ve been using the FlipShare software that came with my camera to do all the band videos thus far, and just learned how to use iMovie yesterday. It’s so incredibly intuitive it kind of blows my mind a little. At first, I kept trying to do things the P.C. [...]
Music theory lesson from a Minneapolis cover band
Hey, I just had a thought: what if we changed our name from FlashMob! to “Minneapolis Cover Band.” That way it wouldn’t look like such an obvious attempt at gaining search traffic by me putting “Minneapolis cover band” a million times in each blog post I write. On the other side of the coin though, [...]
Minneapolis cover band metrics
As the preeminent cover band in the Minneapolis area, I thought it would behoove us to take a minute to provide FlashMob! listeners with a statistical review of a few songs we cover. Please see graphs below: 99 Red Balloons Halfway Gone
Gibson SG Standard, classic white finish chips easily!
After I sold my Les Paul Studio, I bought another Gibson SG this week. AND I ALREADY MANAGED TO SCRATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not awesome. I like character in a guitar, but come on, I got it on Tuesday and dinged it up on Wednesday. Horrible behavior. The finish on this new white one is a lot [...]
Minneapolis cover band falling in the woods
If a tree falls in the woods, does it sound like Nickelback? Blogs are tough. Each post is like a tree falling over. Who wants to see a tree take a dive? I do. If I knew of a spot on a mountain where I could go sit and watch trees fall over all day, [...]
