Weekly Wrock Wrap Up

Welcome to this week’s double Wrock Wrap Up! Don’t forget to keep us updated on your Wrock news!

General

It’s NaNoWriMo season again! Discuss it with other Wrockers! There is now an official thread for wrockers doing NaNoWriMo on the NaNo forums. Also, there is a NaNo thread on the Wrockstock forums.

The Harry Potter Alliance UK is up and running. Blog, chat, get your band out there, put your events in the calendar and, most importantly, do it for charity!

Josh of The Bandon Banshees is trying to throw together another compilation album for the holidays. The idea is to distribute the album digitally and either gather all-new original material from bands, or re-release the previous holiday compilation with additional, new submissions to enhance the holiday compilation. If you are a Wizard Rock band and are interested in submitting a song, contact Josh.

Harry and the Potters have several upcoming shows including a special performance on Halloween in Chicago.

Alex of The Remus Lupins and Luke and Jason from Ministry of Magic have formed a new band, The Oceanic Six, based on the show LOST.

The Proper Use of a Rubber Duck has returned to Wrock after a long hiatus and will be playing at Protego 2010.

Diagon Alley currently has songs available for download and also will be performing in Chicago on Halloween.

    Wait, the creepiness that is fanfics? The creepiness that is *some* fanfics – if you know where to look, there are lots of great ones.

    I know! I couldn’t be more excited about The Proper Use of a Rubber Duck coming out of hiatus! I was lucky enough to see them perform live at the Wizard Rock Halloween last year in Stockholm and they were FANTASTIC!!!

    I absolutely cannot wait to get even more music out of them!

    Incredibly adorable? I try ^.^
    (When I’m not making fresh eyeball kebabs and flaying people, that is.)

    And yes, you’re right, there are some very well written/heartrendingly sad/bloody hilarious fanfics out there, and I love them. I only wish that my first experience of Harry Potter fanfiction had not included Moaning Myrtle and a squid with an unusually voracious libido…

    Quick Correction. The Diagon Alley CD that was just released is called Pop Songs for Muggles.
