[quote]What do you get when you combine hardcore metal with the Simpsons’ god-fearing neighbourino [B]Ned Flanders[/B]?The answer is Phoenix outfit [B]Okilly Dokilly[/B], the world’s first and only ‘Nedal’ band. They’re bespectacled, mustachioed, impeccably costumed in pink, green and grey, and their [URL="https://www.facebook.com/OkillyDokillyBand?fref=ts"]Facebook bio gets straight to the point[/URL]: “Most of our songs are direct Ned quotes.” Ever at the forefront of rock journalism, we reached out to Arizona’s most neighbourly band.[/quote] [IMG]http://ripitup.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Okilly-Dokilly.jpg[/IMG] [quote][I]The band in full Flanders attire, with added rap squats [/I][Photo: Okilly Dokilly / Aaron Peters] So how does a Flanders themed metal band start? As lead singer [B]Head Ned[/B] (possibly not his real name) explains, inspiration struck while casually shopping at a convenience store that for purposes of this article we’ll just assume is called the Kwik-E-Mart. “Myself and our drummer ([B]Bled Ned[/B]) were in line at a grocery store, entertaining ourselves by coming up with really cutesy names for really hardcore, brutal bands,” he says. “The name Okilly Dokilly came up and was very funny to us,” he says.”We ran with it. I contacted a few friends ([B]Red Ned, Thread Ned and Stead Ned[/B]), and here we are. Most of us have played in other bands around our hometown,” he explains. “This is definitely the heaviest sounding project any of us Neds have done.”[/quote] I don't know if this is the best or worst thing ever [URL]http://ripitup.com.au/music/meet-the-worlds-first-ned-flanders-themed-metal-band#.VczGd_lVgkb[/URL] Oh fuck I thought I could embed from this hang on Player to their stuff is in the article/here [url]https://okillydokilly.bandcamp.com/releases[/url]
While the gimmick is neat, their music kind of sucks.
