I Lava Fake Bands.

In 2006 Aurora and I decided that life is pain and we started an emo band. 
Mind you, neither of us did any actual band-things to make this happen, like you know, write music or perform it or even really talk about it.  But we had a Livejournal for our band and that's all we needed.  
Enjoy.

Band Bio:  The Brandy Situation

we're a girl emo group from fresnoxcalifornia.

we believe the definition of emo has gotten
wildly out of control.

Emo is swoopy, but must also be mopey
Emo is broken hearts on wrists
Emo is tragic, but with an orange county flair
"Mom took my H2, and I can't get to the
straight edge show where I would spend the
whole time adjusting my hair and contemplating
all of the people who will never love me."
Emo is...
water bottles
cats with patches of random color on them
the sun when half a cottonball cloud covers it
my dad when he's jogging
and
buttons!

We're here to reclaim emo. In an asshole sort of way.

Don't make us slit our wrists.

Lyrics: 


These are for drinking brandy to.

A Song for Doug
(Armijo 2006)

a red beard and a backwards baseball cap
my soul says you dont know emo
but my body says you need to know me
can you weather the storm of my emotions?
can you show me the ways of the meathead?
meat.
head.
meet.
my
motherfuckin
 head.

SweetEnlow
This morning
I woke up
and put my blue sweater on
I grabbed my ipod
and crashed my car
The heart on my wrist
is cracked in half
but when i find the one
i'll fill it in.
Can you fill my heart
Can you fill my heart
Can you fill my heart?
Tonight tonight tonight
Music is crashing
I buy a 151 and coke
Because it helps me to dance
The heart on my wrist
is cracked in half
but when i find the one
i'll fill it in.
Can you fill my heart
Can you fill my heart
Can you fill my heart?

Morning After
(armijo/schoelen 2006)

I stayed up all night
With intricate plans for us
How could you let me die inside?
How could youlet me die?
How could you leave me to fall apart?
I may never know
I couldn't move when the alarm clock rang
The sound was needles in my veins
how could you let me die inside
how could you let me die
how could you leave me to fall apart
Please let me know.
*bridge*
I'm stuck here on my windowsill
Throwing straightedge to the wind
How could this be happening
It's happening again

how could you let me die inside
how could you let me die
how could you leave me to fall apart
I don't want to know

Titles are overrated
(armijo 2006)

my soul, it aches.
like a beatle bug turned over,
no way to turn my incandescent shell.
the ache, the burn.
great love of blackest night
all I know is your sleepy caress
so easily twisting from my heart
and moving to the world.

A Night at Livingstones
(armijo/schoelen 2006)

Bleak
My friday spilled out like a rainy day in
seattle
He didn't leave me his key
he didn't leave me his key
something red.
red and mysterious, like my soul
Is not meant to be trampled on
He didn't leave me his key
He didn't leave me his key
I fought through the lines
And Collapsed at the entrance
He didn't leave me his key
So what's left for me?

Ode to Scott Strapp


We found ourselves
drinking cheap vodka from a plastic bottle
depression or date rape
its all the same with him
scott, I said, strapp me.
strapp my soul, scott.

Emo Eyes


I knew you were different,
Short of complex
Your brows always arch
In surprised reflex.
There was no depth
So i pumped you with lies
Because I wish that you had
Emo Eyes

Anne Shirley Eat Yr Heart Out
(Armijo/Schoelen 2006)

Don't be afraid to love me
Love me like you're gonna lose me
Dont be afraid to shoot me
you've already murdered my heart
If I move too fast
Its only because I'm afraid to let this go (oh
no)
(oh no's lead into xylephone solo, the next two lines are repeated
whispering)
let my soul be bludgeoned by your cryptic superficial letterings
on the bathroom mirror is where they appear
Don't let this slip away
Don't let it fall apart
Don't be afraid to love me
Love me like you're gonna lose me

(just slow down the tempo
and the noise until it peters out...)

  1. You guys need to get Fruity Loops, a mini KORG and some strobe lights and you could be like Millionaires.

  2. I love fake bands too. I even own the url's for my fake bands and their albums. I don't have the T-shirts though like you do (or maybe that is something else in the post above this one.)

    Oh, I just thought of another one! A Jennifer Emmerling inspired fake band.
