lapsedgamer Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! Tori Amos. By the way, she is my not-so-secret desert island crush girl. I think she may even beat out Beyonce on my list. It's an apples and oranges thing though. Maybe both, with Lucy Liu for off days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribe Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! Okay Tori Amos was relatively easy, but how about..... this one! Aloha Tambourinist: Hawaiian gadgeteer with a cache of trick-tambourines that she throws at bad guys. Melody: Sonic powers, I guess, although she could actually tap into other people's powers and 'play along with them' like a melody which would give her a kind of power chameleon power. (My favourite song from the album!) Fantastic Plastic: I love this name. A stretchy character with a winning smile! Singlette: An Aussie bloke with a singlet and mid-range strength who is a bit of a battler - gets into scraps and manages to stay standing. Wolverine without the claws. Universal Vibration: Vibration powers including the ability to step through walls by matching atoms (as you do!) This band was one of my favourites during my Indie phase.... about 1995, I reckon.

Weldun Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! That would be Placebo now, wouldn’t it Hooligan? Tribe, I had to cheat for yours and I’ll be surprised if anyone here gets it. Captain Jack – A former PRIMUS agent turned sonic-based gadgeteer, he’s the team leader well known for his Capoeira stylings and Techno-Funk groove. Touchdown – A brick/speedster who favors wearing a football uniform and favors “death from above” superleap movethroughs. Sumertime – A mutant with the ability to animate and control plants, she also has the ability to generate and focus large amounts of light energy. She also enjoys surfing so much that Captain Jack has built a flying surfboard for her. 7 days – A mysterious being who has a different form for each day of the week, each having powers over a different force. Starting with Monday these forces are Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Light, Shadow and Mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribe Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! Tribe, I had to cheat for yours and I’ll be surprised if anyone here gets it. Yeah and Australians might even find it difficult. The album is Wahooti Fandango, which also doubles as the team's name! And the band is .... should I say it? I'll write it in white just in case someone gets it..... Custard ! and they're from Queensland although I think they've given up after maybe five albums. Actually, maybe Assault would know them??

ghost-angel Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! none up? hmm... try this: Converted - uses mental illusions and mind control, always on a religious theme (mostly judeo-christian, but not always). Bullet Proof - basic brick Sister Rosetta - an energy blaster, also religiously themed, but always Christian in nature. Her blasts are pure white light. Strange - a shapeshifter with a twisted sense of humor. Yellow Rose - the team leader, a speedster in a black leotard with a large yellow rose on it.

tribe Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! Umm' date=' I had this one up...[/quote'] Can you give us a clue? I've got it pinned as maybe 1970s/early 1980s in feel... although 7 Days sounds more contemporary. Captain Jack is a cool name though.

Weldun Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! It's not Billy Joel, or Bob James. I'm sorry, I've actually already given the biggest clue I can, right there in the team's lineup. How about I add another...

Dream-a-Dream - A "head-in-the-clouds-flower-child" who also happens to a psychic with the power to place people in a dreamworld, trapping them in their own minds. Oh, and Tribe.

I'm sure they're all glad not to be half-Western Australian sandgropers though, eh? Still have no idea what the band is... it's not Dave Dobbins.
