I was once in a band called “Sound the Hour“. After a year of rocking the world with my insanely complicated (read: mostly root note) bass playing, I decided to call it quits to spend more time on my relationship with my then fiance. I maintained a friendship with everyone, and the band went on without me. With all of my newly found spare time, I decided it would be fun to lovingly harrass my former bandmates via their online guestbook. I attempted to start several rumors, but had a hard time getting anything really moving around the gossip circles. Finally, I started a nasty story floating that the new trend at Sound the Hour shows was to remove your pants. Like most good rumors, this one became twisted. The story soon evolved into a tale of pants thievery on the part of the band. I’m not sure if anyone bought the lie, but the band was soon warning everyone to guard their pants. And guard their pants they did.
