DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
Can’t decide which of the five free bands you want to see? No problem. We’ve created this handy flow chart to choose for you.
Are you ready to ROCK?
Yes!
Especially if by “ROCK” you mean to “pop punk” or “psychedelic rock”
Oh, YEAH!
Are you ready to play air guitar? And scream along to the lyrics?
We love peoplewatching at DBTR! So we’ll be watching you!
Sort of. Especially if that includes “American country/blues” or “up-and-coming country” or “MTV R&B/pop”!
Yes!
Hmmm. That kind of dancing may be more appropriate for the people who want to ROCK.
Hmmm. Maybe you should rethink your “Are you ready to ROCK answer.” Maybe you’re a “sort of.”
Are you ready to dance? Dance hard? Sort of.
Neat! When you are “sort of” dancing, what do you want to be thinking about?
The fact that I finally found a reason to wear my super-reflective silver mini dress!
I want to think about my cowboy hat. And listening to personal lyrics. I like thinking about personal stories. And how guitar fingerpicking makes me feel.
What will you be wearing?
Eve 6
What do I care?
My nose ring. And my eyebrow ring. And some ironically punk T-shirt, like with Linda Ronstadt on it.
My striped bell-bottom pants and a vest over a wide-collared shirt. Maybe a 1970s ascot.
Oh, yeah! We were just curious.
Will two of your friends be wearing nearly identical super-reflective silver mini dresses and dancing in unison with you?
I’ll probably be by myself.
