on the band shortbus

Like the more well-known saying, "to be on the bandwagon", but it is used when one likes a band before they become cool.

Steve: "I see a lot of little kids like Green Day these days."
Mark: "Yeah, they're all jumping on the Green Day bandwagon now. But us two, we were on the band shortbus. We got "39/Smooth" when it first came out."

The Graduate (the band)

(Easily considered the most talented band that I have EVER seen live) A band that creates amazing music and is extremely talented-that should be signed so that I can get some more of their music-their stage presence will make you feel as if they (or at the very least, the lead singer) is peering into your very soul even in the most crowded room.

Amazing sound, amazing presence, amazing talent, an amazing band.

~the end~

"The Graduate (the band)" is godly.

Buy shots for the band

Phrase promoting turning the party up a notch. Could involve actually buying shots for a band if live music is present; otherwise it refers to any action that livens up a party.

The party was a little boring until Scott decided to buy shots for the band and then things got wild.

JETA the band

Brandon Smith (guitar) and Kevin Lee Burns (vocals) were the founding duo of Jeta, in Ontario, California, in 2000. Delineating their creative direction by blending electronic compounds with alternative pop/rock marks, the two-person team expanded into a six-piece lineup with the additions of Jeremy Kinnick (vocals, keyboards), Oscar Gutierrez (drums), Bryan Lareau (guitar), and Scott Usher (bass). Revealing strong influences coming from groups such as Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, and other major '80s bands, the California crew started gathering a considerable fan base, mostly due to their ingenious live performances. Following numerous live shows solidifying their major following not only in the U.S. but also in Canada, the band eventually delivered two discs, Jeta Jam and Jeta Internal, in 2001.

Jeta the band songs include....Twist of Fate /The Music Flows/ Little Dreamer

Strike up the band

To swing your middle fingers as if you were a conductor orchestrating a band. More elaborate and eccentric way of giving someone the finger.

"Tye was a dick yesterday. Time to strike up the band when I see him next."

"If the teacher pisses you off just strike up the band and leave."
