Frat Rock: A How To Article

Filed under: Art, music — Tags: , , , — KingORock @ 5:45 pm July 19, 2010

I was at the Albert in Winnipeg, hoping to review a show. Due to the nature of the music, I decided to produce this short guide to running a successful frat rock band.

Step 1 – Music

Write some shitty songs that sound like your favorite band crossed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. There is no genre that slap bass can not be added to.

Then take off your shirts and do every rock move you saw on your favorite Blink 182 DVD.

Also, make sure to mention that you were 'soooo f*cked up...' when you wrote your shitty songs.  Hardcore.

Step 2 – Fans

You have to, have to, have to invite ur parents. If you happen upon a frat rock show, you’ll be able to spot the parents by their age, digital camera and general discomfort when the lead singer tells everyone he was fuct on coke when he wrote this one.

Parents.  Check!

Parents. Check!

Step 3 – Image

Make sure to get the grease out before you hit the stage...

Frat Rock at the bar; cuzz keggers and house parties won’t get you to the top.

  • I was expecting more. A concise guide, if you will. I have been disappointed. Unless this was meant to be metaphoric, in which case you have done an excellent job.
