nny*grins* Del made me come up with the band members of DUR because they're going to support her Tender Masochists on tour.
So awesome. XD
Drummer = Dan. Tall, sinewy, faintly terrifying. Doesn't talk at all, has never uttered a word in the small amount of interviews they've had, and has the most ridiculous of the rumours circulated about the band about him. He keeps a collection of them in the glovebox of the band van. He's got shaved blond hair and has an infinity sign tattooed on the inside of his left forearm, looks scary as hell but is Buddhist and pacifist except for when it comes to Jimmy.
Tambourine guy, founding member = Jimmy. Dan's BFF. Named the band after him, actually, and is one of only about five people in the world who know Dan's middle name. No sense of rhythm whatsoever and guaranteed to trip over at least one band member/cable onstage, in smaller venues is generally persuaded to sit on the edge of the stage or dance in the audience. Doesn't ever stop talking. EVER. Even in his sleep. (He can hold entire conversations.) The rest of the band would have killed him by now if it weren't for the fact that he is almost preternaturally good at being in the right place at the right time. (And Dan would eat them.) He's short and blandly good looking and very straight and gets laid more than any other member of the band in spite of the internet rumours sparked by him draping himself all over Dan often. And demanding piggy backs.
Singer, bassist = Kye. Long, sun-bleached dreads, quite ridiculously good looking, massive gayist although people don't seem to have worked it out yet. Writes most of the songs, has a surprisingly juvenile sense of humour through which he bonds with Jimmy, but is not quite chummy with the rest of the band. Generally his type is the loud, obnoxious and arrogant type, but he also has this weird fascination with Dan that he cannot for the life of him figure out. He mostly tries to ignore it.
Lead guitar = Scott. Spends the majority of his time talking about how wonderful he is, is clearly marking time until he finds himself another band, generally doesn't choose to spend his time with the rest of the band if he can possibly help it but is such a bloody good guitar player that they feel obliged to put up with it. He's aggravatingly intelligent and likes to show it. He's actually fonder of the rest of the band than he would ever let on, but doesn't really know how to stop antagonising them. And it totally won't stop him leaving. (Although he will probably miss Keyes.) Has dark sweepy emo hair and slinky hips.
Guitar = Keyes. Not very bright at all but kind of a sweetheart, and tends to get on really well with the people who own the venues and such. Is the only one who isn't actively put off by Scott, and generally doesn't notice when he's being insulted, since it tends to go over his head. Average guitar player, no real ambition, the type to be a beach bum if he wasn't in a band. Has a weird talent for remembering names, faces and phone numbers, which definitely comes in handy. Wears his trousers ridiculously, stupidly low, and frequently gets pantsed on stage through inattention. Blond and long and skinny.
Trumpet = Lewis. Trying and failing miserably to be called 'Louie'. He's not the Louie type, sadly. Has all the ingredients of being cool without managing it even remotely since he tries so very very hard at it. Mostly gets laid by people wanting him to introduce them to Kye or Jimmy. Likes Keyes best out of the rest of the group, but that's probably only because he's the only one to be sweet enough to give him attention and listen to him ramble about whatever is on his mind. When he's drunk or stoned or comfortable and not actively trying to be cooler than everyone else he can actually be pretty funny and a decent conversationalist, but he has a worrying enthusiasm for Warhammer which occasionally escapes him. Faintly chubby, mostly kind of forgettable, major dimples.
Sax = Anthony. Huge stoner. Huge. More so even than Jimmy. Tends to disappear on long philosophical rambles which make no sense to anyone but he and Arram. Very repetitive but indecently funny, and when he can be persuaded to concentrate long enough kind of a genius at maths. Tends to get left to do budget stuff, but not actually allowed the money, since they want to keep hold of it. Occasionally comes out with beautiful things that Kye would really like to put into their songs if they weren't such a college rock band. Occasionally they do get put into the songs, and those ones tend to get 'blah blah growing up' type reviews. Medium brown hair, medium height, medium build, the most hilarious facial expressions known to man.
Sax = Arram. Peacekeeper, gets on with everyone else in the band and tends to be the one who knows exactly what's going on in every conflict because everyone confides in him. Best friends with Anthony. Doesn't drink or smoke or take any drugs, which seems to have a history but he doesn't talk about it. Has been married for four years - since he was 18 - and hasn't decided about family type stuff yet, although it's probably going to be on the table after this tour. Black, muscly, short skinny dreads.
Have to fight the urge to do stuff with them, now... I don't have time!
