Saucy Sunday: Spaghetti Bandit (C1 C2)

CHAPTER 1: J-Block is NOT O-Block 

The heinz spaghetti sauce oozed down the pasty yellow walls outside the Cert III rooms. This was the second day the Spaghetti bandit had bombarded the school. Mr Berilloo's knees hit the ground at the sight of the spaghetti. "Uhm boys, what is this!" he gasped, his long slender frame giving into the effects of gravity as it hit the ground. "Ohhhh boys!" he said wiggling on the ground like RayGunn. "Hey Mr Berilloo!" a small voice called out. Mr Berrilloo groaned as he picked himself up and looked around like a deer in headlights. "Uhm Boys?" he questioned, "Behind you" the voice giggled. Mr Berrilloo spun around to a group of students, each wearing ski masks and black onesies. They all struck pose 28 before shouting in unison, "Berrilloo, Berrilloo, so much sigma so much mew, this here spaghetti, made just for you! After we're done having fun, 1000 stitches will be needed! no more, no few!" Suddenly each student pulled out a 1kg tin of Spaghetti, tore open the lid and dumped the thick, globby, oozing spaghetti on Mr Berrilloos balding head before the leader yelled "Scram!"

The driver stopped the cart outside the Cert III rooms and looked at  Mr Bounding, sitting in the back, his face neutral, but his red-stained eyes revealed how stressed he was. "We are here sir" the driver whispered cautiously. Mr Bounding opened the door and marched over to the Spaghetti-painted wall. "Who dare to defy the holy Cert III rooms," Mr Bounding said, balling his hand into a fist and shaking it. The wall was filthy, with spaghetti debris gooped up at the bottom, the smell reminded Mr Bounding of the gloves in the science labs if they were mixed with some fireball shots. Pure Yucky. Mr Bounding whipped out his phone and angrily typed in a few numbers. The phone began ringing, brrrrrrrrr... brrrrrrrr... brrrr- "Salutations Mr Bounding" a soft voice spoke. "Cert III squad.. ASSEMBLE" Mr Bounding yelled before hanging up and storming into the Cert III rooms.

CHAPTER 2: Cert III Squad = washed

Mr Bounding began dozing off, sitting at the front of the room, awaiting the arrival of the Cert III squad. When the sound of the song Something in the Way by Nirvana began fading in as the doors flew open to the Cert III rooms, letting in a soft, warm breeze. Dayne was perched on the door handle, like Batman, with Aidan and Jacob behind him standing with their hands on their hips as if they were superheroes. Mr Bounding raised an eyebrow, clearly not impressed. "Hurry up boys" he muttered shaking his head in disappointment. "Don't test the school captain bo-, I mean sir" Jacob said quietly, the aura of Mr Bounding clearly muzzling Jacobs's predatory instincts as he switched off the boombox. Aidan walked in cold and sigma and he said "Wet's just sway, they call me the evil twin" in a discord moderator voice before laughing evilly like a villain.`

Dayne hopped off his perch on the door handle and jumped onto the desk before saying in Christian Bale Batman voice ""You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." 

Suddenly the Drama room doors burst open, and the witches from Macbeth walked in  and the three girls skipped in, singing some annoying song. "La La La, Ma Ma Ma, Ra Ra Raaaaaaa" Faith sung low then "Pa Pa Pa, Tralala, Be Be Meeeeeee" Isi sung in the mid range, "Wa Wa Wa, Fra Fra Fra, Ga Ga gaaaaaaa" Harriette sung in the higher ranges. Mr Bounding growled at them "IF YOU STAND UP, YOU'LL SING BETTER. C'MON FAITH YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BEST!"

Suddenly the TV switched on to a black murky screen with an odd ambience sound blasting out the speakers. A figure began to form in the screen, and began swimming closer towards the screen. As the figure reached the TV screen, its face began to become clearer. It was none other then Jon, who popped his head out of the TV and said "Sup' gangstas." Everybody started screaming and pushing each other out of terror. "HOW IS HE IN THE TV, OH MY GOODNESS" Isi screamed attempting to F1 Kick Jon as he continued to duck and weave. Jon emerged from the TV whilst dodging the F1 Kicks, "Gangsta Isi stop that" Jon scoffed as he plopped himself into one of the seats. "HOW" Aidan yelled, his Jaw dropping to the floor. "I dunno" Jon said abruptly as he slowly dozed off. CRASH!! Harriette the leader of Stitched Up Bunnies had attempted to jump into the TV to see where Jon had come from. "WHAT IS THIS" Harriette yelled. "Okay class" Mr Bounding started, "lets begin, Jordan will turn up later" he said flicking on the TV screen.

Say Goodbye to the Solbar: String Theory Announcement.

We have announced a new show where you can catch us Stringing the Theory!

You can catch us tearing down the Solbar on Ocean Street in Maroochydore on Saturday the 12th of October at 2pm. We will have many bands opening for us including the underground band Stitched up Bunnies or should I say Stitched Up Funnies and us! String Theory! Our setlist will be fitted for a Saturday afternoon gig where you can be chillin' at the Solbar: with this show being our debut performance on the Sunshine Coast, and yes ladies Jacob and Dayne will be there 😍 (Oh and Entry is free L.O.L!)

For those who are intrigued by the venue, the Solbar is famous for supporting new and emerging artists from plenty of different genres. The Solbar is located on Ocean Street so if you're hungry, there is plenty to eat and ladies, after you see Jacob and Dayne, feel free to go shopping!

Although we've been touring worldwide under a slightly different name (Strong Theory) this is the first show under the new name String Theory! String Theory covers a multitude of bands and artists' songs, including Grent Perez, Stevie Wonder and Harry Styles. Our band is very Funky Fusion, similar to More Fatter and Ampersand. We look forward to seeing you there!

Fun facts about String Theory's band members

Fun facts about String Theory's band members 

The first fun fact that I am going to reveal is Faith's. Faith has a secret talent... she can imitate any accent. Her most common accents are Scottish, Aussie mum, and British. It is a known fact that she cannot make it through one conversation without switching accents.

The second fun fact is about Dayne. Dayne isn't actually a student, he's a famous actor who is playing a student. I'm sorry to break it to you, Mr Bowden... Dayne is an illusion, he is disguised. 

As for Aiden, he's actually a paid writer who does our blogs for us. We pay him a monthly fee to produce stories.

Jacob used to be a blonde... shocking, I know. 

 Isabella Semler is an excellent singer and she knows what she’s doing to exceed in her work. She’s also in a band called Ampersand and they have produced their own EP! She is one those artists that have the ability to be popular with her songs and we will see her collaborating with a heap of other singers. She can also play piano and acoustic guitar and her dynamics with her vocals exceed the audiences expectations. See her the band String Theory this October, more details to follow.

Charly Bliss is making a new album that will be coming out on August the 16^th 2024 and I’m excited as they are close to have made a variety of EP’s and albums like A Lot To Say, Supermoon and Young Enough. I’m excited as I may enjoy this next album.

 

Here’s a link to Charly Bliss’ website: https://charlybliss.os.fan/

 Damon Albarn has been very interesting with how he changed his style and genre. He just should’ve stuck to what he was doing and why did he need to do this? He did this because he wanted a more lo-fi sound and whilst that a good choice he could’ve just expanded but it’s his choice and that’s all that can be said

So from now on...

A Day in the Life of String Theory Group Chat

A Day in the Life of the String Theory Group Chat:

Like every morning, I check my phone to see who messaged me. Today was different. I woke up to 57 messages from the String Theory group chat. I'll save you the time:

As per usual, I checked my phone and saw that I had a text from Aidan with an interesting attachment. Jacob, our school captain parked in the wrong car park (see Figure 1). 

After diffusing that little dispute, Jacob was determined to get everyone into our blog successfully. Much to his disgust, Faith and Isi were not in fact in the blog. 

Faith tried and tried, but she still could not join. So, to help us all, she sent 10 separate videos to the chat. This resulted in a chain of messages that I ignored. 

After a few cover photo changes, and a lot of overused emojis, the conversation ended. I made it out alive.

Backroom Tea with Faith

Well hello readers, and welcome to:

Backroom Tea with yours truly, Miss Faith Harriman.  

I for one pride myself on being very loyal and trustworthy. When my friends tell me their private business, I make sure to zip my lips and keep it to myself. ESPECIALLY when it comes to rehearsals with the band, String Theory. Ok anyway now that all the 'legal disclaimer' stuff is out of the way, I'm very excited because in this series I will be giving you guys an inside scoop of all the exclusive details and juicy secrets that our band keeps behind the scenes!! :D

Let's dive into Monday's rehearsal to start things off, shall we??

Monday 13/8/24 Me and Isi are on our way up to the rehearsal room because it's time to lock in and get some solid practice time in. Today we're in the backroom, known specifically for its specialty:  piping hot English breakfast. Strap in folks. Jacob is already getting set up, tidying the area after the SHOCKING state the year 11's left it in... He's making sure all the technical settings are where they are supposed to be. Aiden is sitting in the corner, playing the electric guitar at max gain. Nothing unusal there. Dayne is nowhere to be seen. Me and Isi get set up our instruments and microphones and start running over the structure of our 2 chosen songs. Dayne finally wanders in and gets his mic set up.

We're halfway through the rehearsal when we stop and realise that half of us are actually playing the wrong chords! Not gonna name names or anything because that would be disrespectful and uncalled for. Personally I just think that Aiden and Isi have GOT to get their act together, we're only a few weeks out from our performance! Anyways so gave back Isi her phone after reading through the chords, we ran through the song a couple more times before calling a half-time break. 

"Off to talk about us behind our backs ey?" Aiden says as me and Isi leave the room.

"No of course not, just getting water," I reply.

I follow Isi outside, fighting the urge to kick her crutches out from underneath her. We don't get water. Me and Isi's beverage of preference actually happens to be tea. 
"Did you see what Jacob was doing that whole rehearsal? He can barely play drums! And I'm not gonna lie, you kind of need some vocal lessons, Isi. Like....ASAP."

"I totally agree, Aiden should be singing this song. And I know right! I don't know why Jacob is even in this band, he doesn't even know what a key change is."

After a nice lesuirely tea party break, we head back into the rehearsal room and get back to it. We run through our second song smoothly and easily, because I'm doing vocals for this song, so obviously it's absolutely incredible. We pack up the room and head on out, after another awesome day in the backroom.

FAQ's with Isi

Hey guys, 

It's Isi from String Theory. I thought I'd answer some frequently asked questions: 

Does Faith dye her hair or is it naturally red? 

The answer is, yes. Faith is a fake ranga who dyes her hair to look different. She actually has naturally blue hair that she dyes red every day before school. Don't believe anything she says. She's a spy. 

How did Aiden break his wrist?

Unfortunately, no one has an answer to that question... as no one really knows. It could be from a shark, a tragic sporting accident, or maybe a severe dancing incident. The answer will remain a mystery. One of J Block's biggest secrets. 

Who plays what instrument?

Faith - Faith is a multitalented musician who plays keys and sings with her angelic voice. 

Aiden - Aiden is our trusty guitarist and bass player. He'll play it no matter what the song is, as long as there is distortion.

Jacob - Jacob plays everything. If you have a question, don't use Google, just go straight to Jacob. Jacob makes me want to quit music, I will never play as many instruments as he does.

Isi - Isi has no idea what she's doing 99.94573949% of the time. She can occasionally pluck some strings and sing one singular note.

Dayne - Dayne does everything all at once. 

Where do the girls (Faith and Isi) go on their drink breaks?

This is classified information that cannot be revealed to the public (but if you want to know, read Faith's Backroom Tea series).

I hope this answers some questions.

Stay tuned for the next posts!

Our Band Rehearsal yesterday + A STUDIO RUNDOWN

We had a very interesting rehearsal yesterday, but nevertheless, it was very productive.

Our rehearsal was in the back room of our purpose built studios on the Sunshine Coast, known as String Theory Studios.  Let's give you a run down of our gear!

We have an Efnote 7x electronic drum kit, a state-of-the-art instrument that is at the cutting edge of modern Japanese instrument design. It allows for quick and easy adjustment of drum sounds and multitrack recording.

In the guitar department, we have a range of Squier electric guitars and basses, all world class instruments that Aidan, our String Theory guitarist loves very much. The new Boss Katana amplifier is another favourite of Aidan's.

As for keys, the Yamaha Modx is our instrument of choice. 

We're looking forward to our warm up gig at the Common, as a warm up for our Solbar gig later in the year!

Stay tuned!
