I just heard The Pretty Reckless yesterday and started exploring them a bit more. I'd happened to run across them before, "Heaven Knows", but there was something in the song I heard last night that made me think of our beloved...and rather complicated...reformed Whisky Ward.

Take a listen to "Take Me Down" and let me know what you all think.

BTW I have not watched the video yet -- so I haven't been biased by it.

Take Me Down - The Pretty Reckless

You all make me smile and rock my ass off!

Maybe I'll dig up that discography list that we never completed. Might be a fun way to distract ourselves and keep the band alive.

Since it's not really a live game - where would be the best spot to put that in the Forums?

Years ago I played in an FTF game with Stranger, and the premise was that we could all be band members. The only caveat was that the Lead (singer, guitarist, what have you) had to be an NPC because the band, would reform after the lead was killed in some horrific way, and yes, it happened many times before and would happen each episode for the game. It was fun to come up with the songs, lyrics etc... for the strange little bands we made up while solving horror stories like Scooby Do. smile

So yes I miss Whisky!

Okay. I'm a little swamped to create the formatting that I want. But I'll get something up in a thread shortly. I look forward to getting everyone's input on the backlist.

Awesome. I hadn't seen that yet. I've been covering my eyes and ears since I still need to finish the first season. Somehow the show doesn't help my stress levels... wink

BTW I think she rocks! As per a BuzzFeed quiz we determined my beloved is Jessica Jones - since she doesn't wear a costume! I range from Wonder Woman to Scarlet Witch depending on the day! LOL

Wynona Earp has been dipping into similar tunes.

If you have Pandora, this station of mine wanders among ZZ Ward, Pretty Reckless, Dilana, halesrtom, Elle King, Bryce Fox, Imagine Dragons, Dorothy, Barns Courtney and a few others.

Ividia -- I somehow missed your note from a month ago! I just took a listen to your station. It was fun. Amongst the best tracks I heard were Halsey, "The Castle" for that teen angst-power goth sound and Black Keys, "Gold on the Ceiling" - which is just damn good rock! Thanks!

Good article about longtime bands that keep going after members leave - or die:

NYT story: Reunion Tour! The Band Is Back!

Makes me think about Whisky Ward and the story I was hoping to craft - and hopefully what the band would not become.

This is the best quote: “Because if Journey won’t perform with Perry, your choice isn’t Fake Journey or Real Journey, it’s Semi-Journey or No Journey at All.”
