If Swasticow is Spinal Tap meets The Producers
then Mephitic is Swasticow meets Woodstock
In the same twisted vein as Swasticow, Buckled Cranium Productions unleash Mephitic upon the world, a festival made famous for Ferocity. We'll be following 5 world famous bands around the 6 day festival and showing you how the world of music is even stranger then your wildest expectations could prepare you for.
The Bands |
Cobblers
UK
Gothic and electronic, Like the Cure.
Wear all black and are very pale, eye makeup - very tired all the time. Most their songs are about unrequited love. Asked about What they think of Ethel Rye - the ask who is Ethel Rye? "Who is she? weird name..."

Zain Phoric - Bass
Leopold Malve - Guitar
Michael Etarch - Synths
Patrick Lekowski - Synths
Equation
UK
Electronic (Chemical Brothers + Daft Punk)
Wear anoraks even in summer, All their music uses some kind of Maths as a metaphor in the lyrics. Night-time tent gig, lots of lights and graphics. They break up during the festival - reveled in interview all they do is act like they make the music live - but its all prerecorded. Adam announces himself but starts the music and cuts Marley off. At the end of the gig - a firght escalates - Marley smashes Adam onto a keyboard and knocks him out by grabbing another keyboard and hitting him on the head - on stage.
Adam Muir - Big Headed takes all the credit -
Marley Yates - Does everything
A Tower of Hammers
USA
(Led Zepplin and Black Flag type rock)
Wear a lot of Leather, spiked, balled + long hair. Headline band - main stage - Nighttime gig, Buzz comes onstage in a wheelchair like a vietnam vet, but stands up and kicks it into the crowd - breaks his leg but continues the gig bleeding all over the stage and eventually faints.
Buzz Thaxter - Guitar - met John in the army.
John Wait - Guitar
Ace Hardmen - Drums
Dasterfield Mould - Bass
Ethel Rye
Canada
Emo.
Cry on stage, hate Pen-15. Possibly Played by the same actors as Pen-15. Totally Cliche, wear skin tight clothes eye makeup wear black with bits of red or pink showing, all have black died hair, and ear plugs - once again -totally cliche. Nathan has a fringe that he comes forward from the back of his head, the rest of his head is balled. All their music is about not getting the girl - Also Absolutely love the Cobblers.
Nathan Jarette - Guitar
Ethen Darnelle - Bass
William Boeing - Guitar
Kevin Emerson - Drums
Jason Orvil - Vocals

Caroline Baits - Tambourine

Bad Badger Policy
UK
Alternative Retro Rock with synth elements.
The band is made up of Oxbridge professors. Very interested in mythology - and are strictly against the British badger culling policy - hence the name. None of their music has any references to drugs or sex (for obvious reasons) during a Camelot song in a past gig Rodderick threw a real sword into the crowd impaling someone. They Dress as wizards with real beards, robes and hats, some of their fans wear hats to the gigs.
Rodderick Pollard - Guitar
Prof. Timithoy Bennett - Flute
Woodrow Huntley - Synths
Milton Oswald - Drums - says actually a lot
Crab Diagnosis
Ireland
Alternative (The Thrills + Coldplay)
Last year nobody had heard of them, they're really pretentious and cocky despite they short term success. More preoccupied with style then music. Milo the lead singer is always drinking from a large goblet, wears black shirt red tie, sun graces and a hat. Has one trouser leg rolled up with fish net stocking and woman's shoe - walks with a limp. Clint Bongar wears a Gestapo hat and a make poverty history t shirt.
Milo Archer - Singer/Keyboard
Clint Bonjar - Guitar - Sounds like bob Dylan
Skyler Colmes - Bass
Seabert Strange
Da Delta Crew
USA
Hip Hop (Run DMC + Public Enemy)
Mixed but old school sounding rap group.
Monstrous Glock - comes out shooting 2 uzis live on stage kills a few people
Gina Dikemen - Lesbian - reinforces the stereotype that women can't rap.
Fadagio D'Pimp
Davio (white dude)
FUR Q
USA
Solo Hip Hop Gangsta Rapper
This is a long shot, but If we can somehow get in contact with Chris Morris's agent and try to convince him to relive this character who kills people live on stage. UZI Lover is one of his hits he could re-do on stage. We need to write music for this and come up with a short skit - if it falls apart we can use those ideas with The Delta Crew.
The Mumps
Norway
Rock n Roll Retro. Matching outfits, they try to be wacky but they aren't funny despite their wigs and slap stick humor. They think they are hilarious they, always walk as a group. Peder gets separated and starts freaking out.

Karl Welles - Bass
Peder Dudley - constantly paranoid - Guitar
Olaf Bedvid - Drums
Pen-15

Jeff Humphrey - Bass
Smithy Knolls - Drums
