That's what The Verge is baby, a heavy-funk rock mob. U can't get no heavier or rockier than us! Why u think I said no "Sex Shooter"? Because that's waaay 2 pop." Remember? And besides, Lenny can't hang with this maggotbrainin, cosmicsloppin, Hendrixian, Bootsy stankin' rock! Lenny himself is waay to pop 4 this. That's what time that is baby girl!

First...
Mocha we're about to do that right now.
Go ahead and snatch Harlepolis (she can really sing and play piano), Funkmistress and let's get the female group off the ground. We'll co-produce what will become a record setting sales debut for a "virgin" band (NO comments ).

The stage show will be like nothing ever seen before.
When you ladies are brought on stage, they'll be carrying dudes out on stretchers. Think Beatlemania in reverse.
And when the band hits...lawd have mercy. I'll just paraphrase Richard Pryor "The funk rushed out da house!"

"The Verge", although critically acclaimed, never catch on with the mainstream public. Unlike other financial successful but insecure acts, Brickhouse/Hipquake (whatever) will rescue The Verge from obscurity by signing them as opening acts for their 2nd world tour.

Next...
Y'all have, I guess you could say, lo-jacked my damn thread.
But i'm digging the direction of the conversation and my new role as rock-impresario.

Just call me...The BandBuilder.

Harlepolis said:

'Cause you never asked!

Anyway, I was playing since the 6th grade, but gave it up once I graduated from high school. I dunno, I just got bored with it. I really just tried to focus more on my songwriting skills than playing an instrument.

blackguitaristz said:

That's why I said remix!!
I heard these 2 gurls in ATL do a remix of Nasty Girls and they rocked it! It made everyone jump up and down and mosh!!!!


and for the record, I sing Soprano, Alto and Tenor and can teach all three parts, and I'm a vocal arranger (not just another singer). I already play piano and drums and I just bought a guitar 3 months ago, so I'm hummin' commin' at'cha'll!

****WXYZ NEWS SPECIAL****

Mega impresario The BandBuilder (theAudience to his closest associates) has been attempting to quell the ongoing and seemingly non-stop implosion of The Verve.

Meloh9:
~Airline incident with stewardess
(when asked what happened Meloh9 said, "I felt on the big fat fanny".)
~LSD consumption
(supposedly trying to acheive the "HendrixHead" state of nirvana)

okaypimpn:
~Delusional/Hallucinatory behavior
(Imagining bands and alliances that don't exist. Sources say he might be the mad chemist and source for Meloh9's "Non Toxic version of LSD".)

paligap:
~B&E, burgarly and grand theft on Stevie Wonder's residence.
(Luckily, for paligap, Mr. Wonder was not at home. What funk futurist and trivia savant paligap didn't know was that Mr. Wonder trained the late great Ray Charles for his shooting scene in The Blues Brothers movie)

We caught up with theAudience while he was supposedly vacationing in Antigua. Word on the street is that he was making the financial arrangements for Meloh9's six month stay at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Center rehab facility.

Regarding a pending lawsuit with The Verve guitarist Meloh9, theAudience said "Based on his already perilous legal footing, i'm willing to let bygones be bygones. Afterall, it was only a lo-jacking."

According to theAudience, there is no truth to the rumors of an okaypimpn/Mochalox project.
"She's still a solid member of Brickhouse/Hipquake (whatever). I mean, would you sign a contract with this man?":


"I'm currently making arrangements to have Paligap moved to a lower security facility as we speak." said theAudience.

Hold on...we need to break in here.
I believe we've got footage of them moving paligap now

"Oh the humanity."

This WXYZ NEWS SPECIAL will continue after a word from our sponsors...

NEWS FLASH!!!

It's just been reported that Okaypimpn, the trumpet frontman of The Verve who does suffer from delusional/hallucinatory behavior, has in fact checked himself into rehab. How long he will be there is uncertain, although sources close to him say that it probably won't be any longer than a week.

As reported earlier, it was speculated that Okaypimpn and Mochalox from The Verve abruptely left the group after an incident involving fellow Verve member, Meloh's, irrate behavior on an airline. The two supposedly went on to creae a group entitled Crave and 'Pimpn's own band, Velvet Jones; however, it has been confirmed that 'Pimpin' is heading a band outside of The Verve and Crave entitled Trick Turner.

Their debut album, Big Daddy Gets All My Money, will be available sometime this fall on Pimpn's own independent label, Pimpstroll Entertainment.

More news to follow.

THIS JUST IN FROM THE DAILT BUGLE


Lead guitarist Christopher CoShea A.K.A. blackguitaristz of the funk rock band The Verge was last seen in Seattle, Wa tracing back and forth in front of Jimi Hendrix's grave. Eye witnesses said that blackguitaristz was heard mumbling "O.K., I will. I promise." over and over. One witness said that a white van from the mental institution was seen chasing blackguitaristz down the street. He was holding a flying V guitar in his hand and was riding a vintage Dogtown skateboard barefooted. The lead eyewitness said she could see why they came after the troubled musician. "He looked kinda weird, his hair was really long and wild looking, and he was wearing a hooded monk robe." No reports if blackguitaristz was actually caught.

How did we go from the Verge 2 the verve?

It's early am I reading the reports wrong, were still a band right?

Meloh9 said:

Classic case of "telephone." The story was bound to get messed up sooner or later.

We're still a band...I guess everyone is just going through their personal setbacks for now.

Yeah, we're just in various states of Delusion and/or Confusion...

Meloh9 said:

As usual, it's a case of "the media" getting it all wrong.

Stay tuned for a major development on The Verge that will break later in the day.

This just in from the Atlanta Journal and Constipation:

The decision by Mochalox to ask guitarist Meloh9 of The Verge for a "Mile-High Club” membership beginning with a golden shower erupted in a dispute in the air.

A spokesman for front woman, Mochalox, of all-girl group, Mocha, is reporting that the singer apologizes to anyone who was offended during her attitude malfunction in the air. Spokesman theAudience said the incident "was a malfunction of her attitude; it was not intentional." It was added that rumors of intoxication were completely unfounded.

On Thursday, officials ordered an investigation of the incident after an Atlanta airport guard allegedly found marijuana in her handbag. Charges are expected to be brought Friday.

The incident has put added stress on the rocky relationship between Mochalox and Okaypimpn, the trumpet front man of The Verve. Okaypimpn has been rumored to have a restraining order placed on the singer. The two will not comment about the rumors of a new group entitled Crave or Velvet Jones, citing all news will be distributed online by their parent company, Org.

The Verge, owned by parent company Org, attempted to distance itself from the dispute.
