Once, many years ago, four young men with a wealth of ambition
decided they would become the best band in the entire universe. They practiced
hard. Alone, at home, they worked in front of mirrors, perfecting their stage
moves with a frenzied guitar riff here, a backbreaking banshee howl there-all
for one purpose. The great purpose. To be the best band there ever was. And
they also practiced together-in garages, in warehouses, and finally an empty
auditorium. They wanted to sound better than any other band possibly could.
They got to know each other musically, familiarizing themselves with the ins
and outs of each other’s ability. They paired up, trading riffs until the
bond between each member was, some say, almost telepathic. They were doing
things no other band had done before. Then they decided to stop covering other
people’s material. They decided, sure, they’d keep a few old favorites in
the wings-but if they were going to get anywhere, they’d have to write from
the heart. And slowly, but surely, they became an incredible band. Then a
miracle occurred. A prestigious and powerful figure in the music industry
began to hear rumors of this very same band. This figure-who chooses to remain
nameless-decided there was only one way to determine if the band was indeed
the sensation about which he’d heard so much. He decided to hold a private
audition. Said he, of that audition: “Without a doubt, it was better than
any other performance I had ever seen. Mark my word-this band will be bigger
than the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Dylan. Combined. They’re simply that good.”
And on one fateful day, the good news arrived. They were to be signed to a
major record label. For an enormous sum. They were, in fact, about to become
the massive stars they had always dreamed of. But on their way to the record
company, to sign that historic contract and begin their recording career,
they were all-each and every one of them-hit by a bus and tragically killed.
So we decided to make this web site for 7 Day Weekend instead.
