What a motley crew.




Grooving during a brief rest.




Silly mellophone player...red is the color of the other team, don't you know jack about sports?

[Feathers McGraw]

Awesome, is that guy's horned hat something to do with the football? Or is he just crazy?

[oshunluvr]

You do rather stand out in the red jacket. What, you can't buy a coat in your home team colors?

She is wearing a Pokemon hat. As a nerd funk band, our repertoire is video game music, of course

I have been made to promise that I will purchase a neon green jacket to match my headband. That's true penance.

[SteveRiley]

Oh, you're asking about the bari sax player. He's just crazy.

[Feathers McGraw]

You underestimate me, Steve: of course I recognised the Pokemon hat!

That article says you guys play a lot of anime themes, how do you manage that without a Piano? A lot of the anime themes I can think of (like Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away) have a pretty important Piano part, do you just get a different instrument to play that bit? Or am I thinking along the wrong lines?

Have you just made a jazz version?

Nice!

[SteveRiley]

We create our own arrangements of tunes we like. We do all of our work in MuseScore. It's great because we have a mix of Linux geeks and Windows geeks; we can all use the same software. In fact, I just finished transposing one from B mixolydian to B-flat mixolydian -- went from a zillion sharps to a manageable one, two, or three flats, depending on the instrument's pitch.

[Feathers McGraw]

I used to play the classical guitar to quite a high level. I can read music, but sharps and flats are my worst enemy!

Are you the glue that holds the Windows and Linux geeks together?

Dude, I play the friggin' mellophone. Part of the "background brass" category -- for a reason, LOL

[GreyGeek]

Duterium Oxide, heh?

That's no amature band! The guy wearing the green head band looks vaguely familiar. Do you know him?

[SteveRiley]

Heavy water... LOLWUT?

Yeah that guy with the headband and the fringed denim jacket stares at me in the mirror every morning. Freaks me the hell out.

[GreyGeek]

Heavy water... LOLWUT?
......

D2O is the chemical formulea for Heavy Water, Duterium Oxide. Duterium, unlike Hydrogen, has a neutron in its nucleus, making it twice as heavy as Hydrogen. I thought you guys were nerds?
