Another Tuesday, another question. You would think I would have run out of them by now!
What wizard rockers would you most like to see collaborate on a song/album/supergroup?
I first thought of canon relationships that had representative bands and how they could write love songs. Then I realized I would probably most enjoy some humor thrown in there, too. I think Draco and the Malfoys and Swish and Flick would be the perfect combination for this. Hopefully Flick won’t get too jealous!
Oh god, let’s see here….
ALRIGHT, got it.
Jarrod Forge, Drumset
Toby Karlin, Latin percussion
JFF – Bass
Tyler Nicholas – 6 string fretless bass
Nina Jankowitz- Organ/keys
Joe Degeorge- Sax/Xylophone/Marimba
Erin Pyne- Mixing/Backup vox
Paul Degeorge- Rhythm guitar
Bradley Mehlenbacher- Banjo
Brian Ross- Lead guitar
Alex Carpenter- Lapsteel/slide guitar/Vox/Harmonies
Kristina Horner- Lead vox/Harmonies
Yeah, I have no idea what they’d be called, but I do know this: It would cause the world to end.
Um… Can I just say Peeved + anybody? 😉
Really dig that cat, and I’d love to hear him to more remixes (like his take on RiddleTM’s “Ode to Voldemort”) or simply provide some guest instrumentation/production for practically anyone in the scene.
I’m going to fudge just a LITTLE bit on this one. But I will justify it, promise…
I say Jarrod of Gred and Forge and Marty of Uncle Monsterface
The justification on the fudge… Uncle Monsterface has made appearances on Wrock compilations as Cousin Wizardface. So there. 😀
I’d love to see what came out of a collaboration between those two! I can assure you that hilarity would ensue!
Oh! Secondary option: Jarrod and Fred of Fred Lives!
Oh man!
peeved and The Butterbeer Experience!
The Butterbeer Experience and Mark from Ministry of Magic. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE AWESOME THAT WOULD COME OUT OF YOUR SPEAKERS? (:
@Lori Longbottom They actually have collaborated before on the Death Eater Tango!! It’s excellent! There’s a video of it on her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thebutterbeerexperience
The Remus Lupins and RiddleTM!! They were awesome together on “Remember Cedric” at LeakyCon!!
I think Matt, Lauren, Nina, Alex, and Kristina would be AWESOME!!
Or just a moaning myrtles/parselmouths combo.
Okay. I’m so going to get flak from my friends about this and I don’t care. This is like the ultimate question. Awesome.
Okay. We’re talking about like, a massively bad-ass arena rock type of band, here… Led Zeppelin meets Fleetwood Mac meets The Beatles, meets Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers meets Sly and the Family Stone meets Motley Crue. I’m actually crying a little at the very idea of this. (No offense to those not listed, this is my fantasy, I still adore all wizard rockers no matter what.)
Brian Ross (DATM) – Lead Guitar One
Paul Johnson (The Blood Traitors) – Lead guitar Two (with unreal back-and-forth duets/battles.)
Adam Dubberly (The Mudbloods) – Rhythm guitar/backup vox
Tyler Nicholas (The Remus Lupins) – Bass
Bradley Mehlenbacher (DATM) – Drumkit one
Jarrod Perkins (Gred and Forge/The Blood Traitors) – Drumkit two (there would be epic drum battles/solos, of course)
Stephanie Anderson (Tonks and the Aurors) – Lead Vox
Mark Jennings (Ministry of Magic) -Lead Vox
Christian Caldera (OBATR) – Synthesizers and all the other eccletronic loopy stuffs/ Backup vox
Toby Karlin (The Remus Lupins)-Sax and hand percussion/backup vox
Jon Cukjati (Diagon Alley) -Electric Violin
Jake and Maddy Kahlbenn – (The Nifflers) Uklele and Backup vox.
Okay. That’s kind of ridiculous, but it would sound amazing and be really super fun to see.
Split Seven Ways and Nagini
OH WAIT–already exists and will be live in NYC in a month or so.
I like the way you think Abby, but I thought mine was a bit more practical 😛
But then again, Broken Social Scene is a wonderful band with seven guitarists, so what do I know? xD
Nagini Says:
Split Seven Ways and Nagini
OH WAIT–already exists and will be live in NYC in a month or so.
This! Except you guys aren’t coming west…so I don’t love you any more! =P
And to add to Nagini’s comment, what about Swish and Flick plus Malfoy Manor plus Nagini. Yep. It’s sooooo happening.
I would love to see a Gred and Forge/Peeved colab. I’d also love for The Moaning Myrtles, the Parselmouths and the Butterbeer Experience do something. Hawthorn and Holly with The Mudbloods would be awesome. Oh, and Draco and the Malfoys and the Whomping Willows (they could write a song about Hagrid) and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Harry and the Potters, The Remus Lupins, and The Mudbloods do a colab.
Mudbloods & Split Seven Ways.
Christian of OBatR with Nina of The Moaning Myrtles
Collaborating on a Lilly/James song with a gong going off every 15 or so seconds as Voldemort tries to break in.
With Mark occasionally chiming in as Voldemort.
@Abby JUST, yes. But I’d totally be happy with a number 1–er a Steph/DatM combo!
BADASSNESS ON A STICK! *daydreams*
@Kjetil YES, too! Christian&NIna would be too awesome. =D They have such awesome voic–I MAY DIE OF AWESOME OVERDOSE!
whoa, those all sound awesome!
maybe HatP with the Moaning Myrtles would be cool.
or the Remus Lupins with House of Black.
The first one that comes to mind is The Remus Lupins and Tonks and the Aurors. Not only are they an obvious match character wise, but I think they would sound great together as well. The world needs to see this happen at some point.
Also, @Kjetil – I agree completely with your suggestion. I’m for any OBatR collab, but him and Nina (and Mark) would be amazing.
I was thinking just the other day how cool it would be to have Swish and Flick collab with the Malfoys! I’d love for Wiz Hop bands to collab with Wrock bands and turn some well-known tunes into Jay-Z/Linkin Park style songs. Like MC Kreacher doing a bit of Wizard Rap to Dumbledore by HatP or something 😀
I agree with Stine’s suggestion of The Remus Lupins and Tonks and the Aurors
I agree with my sister. This could be good.
“I’d also love for The Moaning Myrtles, the Parselmouths and the Butterbeer Experience do something” Julia, it’s already happened! Check out videos from the first 10 days of the Accio Bodyguard Tour up until Wrockstock 2… all three of us played together.
I’m going to be a little biased here, but I’d love to do a song with RiddleTM. 😀
@Laurenmyrtle: I would love it if you guys did a song together, your voices would blend beutifully. And if you add in Butterbeer Experience and maybe the Parselmouths it would be perfect.
