re: The Bands of Weatherstock

Greetings to all the fine people of the Weatherstock society!

We where asked to do a little introduction of our bands so we can get to know each other, so here is a little information about us.

Bandname: The Chosen Few
Server: [EN-RP] Laurelin

Bandleader : Grymrock Grey - Order of the Divine Brew

Bandmembers:
Babushka - Order of the Divine Brew
Gwestia - Order of the Divine Brew
Merlas - Order of the Divine Brew (Kinchief)
Chryssie - The Grand Order of The Lost Mathom
Tallic - The Grand Order of The Lost Mathom
Nafing - Order of the Divine Brew
Gotilia - Order of the Divine Brew
Uswin - Adventurers of Arda

Background information:

'The Chosen Few' where formed late in 2010 by the kinships 'Order of the Divine Brew', 'Adventurers of Arda' and 'No Strings Attached'. (Grym, Trotgard, Uswin, Chadwick). We then expanded with two more members from 'Durins Folk' (Norgi) and 'Shire Rose' (Amorey). We kept this lineup until last years Weatherstock, but due to people stop playing the game, and other various reasons, we are now in the 2nd lineup for the band.

We have been transcribing our own tunes almost from the beginning, and have now a quite big collection of tunes for all occasions, and we have done a good deal of concerts through the two years with various public balls, birthday parties, anniversary concerts and stuff like that.

We have even played the music for a dwarven transvestite stripper at one occasion.... 0.o.... (dont ask..)

In 2011 we started up the yearly event 'Archet Aid' at Laurelin with five bands present, and last year we had seven bands present. This year, who knows? :-)

Music style
The Chosen Few claims to be a 'barn-dance band' with merry / danceable tunes in the genres of bluegrass / blues / Jigs and some irish/keltic tunes mixed in. We are also known to have the occasional slow tunes for those cheek-against-cheek dances. :-)

re: Flock of Smeagols

Introductions, eh? Well, we don't want to share too much, so we can still have some new information to put in the band interview that is conducted after bands are selected. Although, I suppose there are a few more things we can share right now. Happy

Band Name: Flock of Smeagols
Server: Landroval/Silverlode

Band Leader: Durrann (Dwarven minstrel, of the Iron Hills)

Band Members: Codella Mosstoes (Hobbit hunter)
Aenrael (on Silverlode, name TBA on Landroval
That other guy (new to LOTRO, name TBA for Landroval)

Background Information: Flock of Smeagols was originally a Kinship created on Silverlode server by Mirinaeth. The band has been created on Landroval to play at Weatherstock in Don't Tempt Me Frodo's stead, due to unavailability of most of the same members from last year. As mentioned in the band app, Durrann and Codella are the founders of the Flock of Smeagols band, and the circumstances of their meeting was,...er...special, indeed.

FoS has played two independent, one-ish hour concerts on Landroval within the last month and has made an appearance at both Ales & Tales and the EMS Open Mic. Members have performed as part of Don't Tempt Me Frodo for weddings, server events, private parties, Ales & Tales, Open Mic shows, solo shows, and of course, Weatherstock!

Durrann and Codella are getting more involved in .abc creation and are definitely planning to create an original piece for performance at Weatherstock. We will also likely be working with they lyrical system, and have some fun currently in the works with that.

We've been wanting to do more with event design and creation, but that has been a challenge, as over half of our normal members are in the middle of pursuing higher education, which as we all know, tends to monopolize a person's life, at the time. Good news though folks, there is this grand thing called Summer Break!! Huzzah! \o/

Music style: A little of everything. Our original composition will likely be something more serious and lively, but we aren't beyond doing cheap covers and twisting existing popular songs for our own devious purposes (*foreshadows*). For those that have attended our concerts, you'll be aware that our signature song is "I Ran", which we think is both appropriate and particularly amusing.

We don't have any official band videos yet, but we're hoping the technologically savvy people at Weatherstock will fix that for us this year! We do have some awesome screenies though, which we will share as soon as we get them organized!

That's all folks!! See you at Weatherstock!! (Last one to the top is a smelly half-orc!)

The Runic Knights Orchestra represents the core, the very heart of the Runic Knights kinship.

Over the past couple years, we have also maintained a presence on the Landroval server and members will occasionally stop by to play a random concert or visit at Ales & Tales.


Musical Style

The vast majority of songs in our extensive library (over 800 songs as of this post) were transcribed by RKO members, including Pinoh, Thjalfi, Rathinosk and Khaladreth.

The library covers a wide variety of music ranging from Medieval/Celtic and Classical music to Jazz, Big Band and Modern Rock, Dance and Pop music. We love music, all music.

Is the lottery still going down, since there are more than ten bands (I think?)?
