Day 72: Nickelband

So apparently, when I added all those Nickelback love and hate groups on Facebook, I added one called Nickelband- The Ultimate Tribute to Nickelback. It's this Nickelback tribute band, apparently, the ULTIMATE one, and the only reason I know that I added them, is because it came up on my newsfeed the other day saying they're looking for a guitarist. Maybe I should apply. I just might suck enough to play their music.
I did some further research, and Nickelband was apparently formed in 2009 "on request by a booking agent representing a radio station in Trinidad for a Halloween concert." I still have no idea what that means.

Anyway, I went to their website to check out more about what I think might be the most pathetic idea ever, and on the homepage, I saw a picture of them. I was like, "Oh my gosh, this guy looks just like Chad Kroeger!" and I thought it was crazy that he would make himself try to look like him for this tribute band. And then I realized that some photoshop magic was done, and each member of Nickelback's hair was just photoshopped onto the Nickelband members' bodies. Or something like that. Check it out. It's pretty freaky.

Here's some more about my new friends. The members are also in bands called Aeromyth, Disco Freaks, and Monsters of Rock. One of the guys from the band does their booking, and they're currently scheduled for a motorcycle rally in California. Figures. After that, they have two shows scheduled in Oregon. I think I'll stay away from the West Coast for awhile.

Ok, so I'm just being biased. Maybe they aren't that bad. There's no place on the internet I could find to listen to them, though, so that might be a little hint right there...

But anyway, here you have them. Nickelband! Possibly the second worst band the world has ever heard. Or, hasn't heard...
