Dracula Spectacula.

I show up dressed like Dracula covered in fluorescent paint. A projector plays a film collage of scary movies cut together on a screen behind me while I thrash around with neon colored blood coming out of my mouth. This goes on from midnight to daybreak where I stumble outside and collapse, generating a large amount of steam, mist, and fog. I don't get up until everyone is gone.

I play really loud house beats over horror film sound effects. I call it haunted house.

live gimmick: it's just me and a bass guitar, I do not use any sort of drum machine or synthesizer. I don't sing either, it's just intricate, dense baroque-sounding bass riffs and solos.

MC Greyhound. Just a rapper whose style is to rap really fast, (like a greyhound, which is a really fast dog). During live performances I always wanted to wear two-shirts, two-pants and cover them with brake parts cleaner so I could set myself on fire without destroying the clothes and getting burn, then I can jump around like a crazy nigger on fire and rap as fast as it's humanly possible to some sped up run the jewels type beats.

It's hell, I want to move to the city and stop playing in these worthless small town bars.

i'm an alcoholic failed showman who can't even so much as finish a single song, constantly getting kicked out of bars because of breaking shit, and my set always ends in an acoustic jam outside the venue next to my minivan that is either broken up by cops or fizzles out once i start puking.

Stephen Veidt

It's somewhere between Bowie and Death Grips with breaks between songs, either for scenes from Shakespeare or Absurdist theatre or crowd interaction, or with general theatricality and music that's inconsistent by genre but generally energetic. Also, drinking on stage. Occasional cover songs.

>>60474362

I get up on stage and apologize to the crowd for forgetting to bring all of my equipment, but to keep the show going I attempt to scat an entire symphony.

psilocybin sanctuary

i'll toss a bunch of shrooms into the audience, wait 30-45 min, then play some noise I composed (kek) and bang on steel drums with iron bats covered in spikes.
also, I'll do this while wearing either nothing or a priests gown (don't ask, it's a fetish)

I think the point is that the quality of the music would ideally be enough to make up for the lack of a gimmick.
