Plays well with others.
Starting December 4th trrrash will start the online collaboration of ‘Sissydude: A dandy rock musical’. Anyone can submit songs or suggest script edits. Anyone. That doesn’t mean we’ll use them all. Grab a guitar or piano or a kazoo and help us add original music to what we’re developing into a campy rock musical in the style of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, and ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’. Maybe you’re in a band that has been itching to try something like this, maybe you’re a musician who wouldn’t mind the exposure. We want you. We want to hear from you. We want to talk to you. We want every style of music in the rainbow as long as it’s good and catchy, so don’t think we don’t want you.
To make this happen we have a rough script being honed and finessed. Your mission is to help us guide it into a rock show by using script text or squeezing your own mind-grapes for lyrics. A rock musical is the goal, so that means the music needs to either further the plot or say something about at least one of the characters or what’s happening on stage. Anything you compose will be posted and discussed and if we’re interested we’ll seek you out and let you know any edits or changes we need to make so it fits in the show and the band we have available to us. You can be from anywhere, or anyone to contribute. Just don’t steal someone else’s song okay? Original stuff only.
Edits and development will happen before your very eyes here at trrrash.com as well as performance announcements. Songs will get a full rock-band treatment for the show, but for now all we need is a youtube video or an mp3 where the audio is clear enough we can hear the song you’ve devised. We’ll be in online development from now until May 4th 2012, but submitting early and often will give us more time and more material to choose from to make a better show.
People who contribute music and songs used in the final product will profit share a percentage of money made by performances of the completed show. This isn’t a get-rich quick scheme, it’s a project for people who love a good rock musical. If we’re successful, you’re successful. So let us know what you think, send us songs, this will be one hell of a good time.
