Melma is a dead band, if this changes I'll write something to that effect. Melma was a TAFE band that existed from September to December 2007. It was only really a decent band for about a week at the end of that said period of time, and while we were kind of laughable in the context of Real Bands, we did certainly drop lumpy turds all over the other bands in our class. With the exception of the Bigness, but I guess that's expected.
Anyway, about that dead, dead band....
The tale of the band Melma began in a Music TAFE somewhere in Perth, Australia. As with so many epic legends, it started with one man and one all-encompassing vision for the future. He wanted to bring together the finest talents at his disposal; an incredible rhythm section, energetic musicians, and an undying passion to fight to the top of this crazy industry.
Instead, he got these guys.
.. ..
It all came together one night when Scotty Thundernuts, local guitar Splinter (read : Not Shredder) was taking down street punks at the local fight factory. He observed that one of his fellow warriors, Chadivarius the 3rd, was pinned underneath a giant flaming cello. Scotty had seen him at work, and liked his moves. So he grunted : "I like your moves, Chad".
Energized by the complement, Chad leaped from beneath the wreckage; thundering into motion like a steam engine covered in fudge. "You had me at hello, chap", he said in a voice thick with intrigue, and they shook hands.
.. ..
Having negotiated their way out of the battlezone, using fists and music where appropriate, the two came upon a grizzled veteran ; a pilot from a war long past. Beneath a dark fringe of hair that spoke of a hard life nearly at it's end, and shifty eyes that were visibly sizing up the new competition, was a fiery passion to upstage both Scotty Thundernuts and his new companion.
The pilot spoke through his teeth, and through only one side of his mouth, perhaps in an effort to sound brutal.
"Your music has no balls. If I play bass for you, it will have balls".
.. ..
The pilot came to be known as Dead Horse Caufield, and upon his arrival the partnership blossomed into a band ; named Melma, for a cat with no nose and no ears.
