ALMOST inaudible clip....
"Andrew Fletcher" by Blasphemous Guitars, sung to David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel". Per usual, we pull someone onstage to be the most talented member of Depeche Mode, Andrew Fletcher. This guy was the best we've ever had, waving Greg's sword around and ending up with his pants down and grinding Adam from behind. Classic!
"Got some money in your hand
cos there's other talent in your band.
Hey Fletch, you're just cheerleadin'.
Hey Fletch, GO! FIGHT! WIN!
Someone unplugged your microphone.
You've got some keyboards but they ain't on!
Andrew Fletcher, you stand in the back.
Andrew Fletcher, you point & clap.
Andrew Fletcher, do what you're told.
Don't do nothin in Depeche Mode. ... (more)
"It's that sense of adventure and mischief that makes a set by (Cover Me Badd) or any of their countless offshoots so much fun. You never know what's going to happen."
-San Diego Union Tribune
San Diego's favorite everchanging coverband Cover Me Badd is currently doing a set of rocked out Depeche Mode songs as THE BLASPHEMOUS GUITARS. The new act takes the synthesizer driven hits of D-Mode, rocks them out with THREE guitarists, including 2005 San Diego Guitarmaggedon champ Greg Vaughan, and combines them with the most ridiculously unrelated songs ever. Whether you love or hate Depeche Mode, EVERYONE is floored by crazy combinations like "Just Can't Enough GnR", "The Beautiful People Are People" and "Never Let Me Freebird Again". Overly serious bands like the Cure and the Smiths are twisted up with bits of Whitney Houston and "Walking On Sunshine" like no band has ever done. They've played to thousands of fans at San Diego's House of Blues, Big Night San Diego, Spaceland, The Casbah, The Beauty Bar, Club Rock It and other top venues around southern California. Their recent Cure covers benefit raised $1800 for the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center.
Adam Gimbel started Cover Me Badd as a side project to be more interesting than the average coverband. CMB has been a tongue-in-cheek poetry act, a tribute to boyband pioneers, an Oasis parody (the Fookin' Wankers), an American Idol sendup, an old man Weezer coverband (Geezer) and Rabbi Gimbel's Jews Explosion, a Jewish rock extravaganza. Because of Gimbel's reputation and the band's unique brand of live mashups, The Blasphemous Guitars were featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune and SD CityBeat before they'd even played and booked for San Diego's largest New Year's Eve party sight unseen. Since then, their reputation has spread all over the world thanks to the internet. Because the acts are always done as a goof and all of the involved musicians have other full-time bands, their infrequent shows are always EVENTS. They are not to be missed.
Idiot. Where's the sound!? Um, someone help...?
