Hi there!
Thought we'd play a game. I usually have fun with it. I certainly hope you will, too. Excuse me if something like this has been posted. It can seem a bit complex, but the end result is worth it.. Usually.
Step 1: Naming your terrible band & terrible album
First, we're going to create the name of our band. This is done by visiting Wikipedia, and clicking Random Article. Or simply click this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
You are going to be using the first or last word in the article's title(Your choice). If the first or last word is "The," use the next or previous word. Visit that link 3 times, writing the words down in order, and you'll have your band name. Repeat this process, and you'll then have you album name, as well.
Bonus(Only applies to Band name, not album): If the article's title contains the word "Project," you must put it at the end of your band's name, while putting your pluralized first name at the beginning. If the article contains the word "Garage," you must put it at the end of your band's name, followed by the word "Band."
Also: Your album can have up to 5 words in it.
Step 2: The members of your terrible band
Now then, there will be four members in your terrible band. To find out who they'll be, go here: http://www.yeahbaby.com/celebrity-baby-names/generator.php?gender=boy&lastname=
Don't enter anything, just hit "Go" four times. Each name is obviously a member of your terrible band.
Step 3: Choosing your terrible instruments
So, you've got your rad name, and your great band members, but what will they be playing? It's time to find out! Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_instruments
There are 14 different categories of instruments. So pick a random number between 1 and 14. If your number is, say, 10, scroll down to the tenth category, and the first instrument that you read will go to band member #1. This does not mean simply pick the first instrument listed. It's the first instrument that you eyes glance at, and read. Repeat 3 more times for band members 2, 3, and 4.
Step 4: Choosing your terrible genre
Pick a random number between 1 and 85. Now, think of a random letter and go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_styles
Now then, once you've found the entries beginning with whatever your letter is, use your number to determine what genre you play. The top entry will be considered number 1, while the bottom will be number 85. So, if you picked, say, 10, pick whatever the 10th entry down is. If you got a number that is higher than the amount of entries, simply pick the bottom or top entry.
Final Step: What terrible venue are they playing at?!
All you've gotta do is go here, and click "Pick Coordinates:" http://www.random.org/geographic-coordinates/ You can be as precise as you want. You can zoom way in to see town names and what have you, or just zoom in a bit to see the states.
You're done! Kudos!
