iBand Gigs with iPhone Instruments

Small format, handheld touch screen musicians are the future, so you had better get used to it. If you haven't seen Pocket Guitar (iPhone guitar) or iAno (iPhone piano) function on Apple's iPhone then you're going to jaw drop when you hear the newly formed band of geeks calling themselves iBand. It' the first iPhone band to form around touch screen instruments and the delusion of miniature rock stardom.

This group of Guitar Hero refugees have teamed up to perform their first jam session together via YouTube that includes two iPhones and a Nintendo DS used for rhythm. The results are less than musical brilliance but that assessment would mean you've missed the point. The iBand jam session delivers one hundred percent geekish adulation and satisfaction, because it's on an iPhone. The experience rivals the first time a 13 year old discovers lighting farts on fire. Pure genius! It's not a fad... it's a scene.

“The development of instruments for the first handheld device that let's us create pocket-sized music are important to establish this scene."

The iBand squad have their own website that's sure to become the next big thing in online communities of ultra-dorks. Auditions for a BeatPhone drummer and iSynth bassist are being held every Saturday from noon to 3:00 PST until the right geek art-rockers are found. Geeks of all sizes and sex are welcome. Good looking man hunks and intergalactic time travelers need not apply. You guys would just ruin it. (I kid!) It won't be long now before we're attending the first “Battle of the iBands" concert. Get your geek on yawl!
