I've had a couple of ideas today about doing a band sketch. Here's my first attempt.
Int. Rehearsal Rooms
A band are on stage. A man in a suit walks in.
Man: I've heard a lot about you guys.
Singer: (SMILES) We try.
Man: Lets hear this 'killer' song.
The band plays, but there's no sound.
Man: Stop!
Singer: What?
Man: I can't hear anything.
Singer: Oh wait! (LAUGHS) The amps!
The singer goes and checks the amps.
Singer: Oh...
Man: What?
Singer: They're on.
Man: Just start again.
Singer: Okay.
The singer goes back to his mic. The band start playing, but there's no sound.
Man: NO!
Singer: You want more bass?
Man: I want sound!
Singer: It is sound!
Man: I want you to make SOME noise!
Singer: It's a ballad.
Man: I'm going!
Singer: You're not impressed?
Man: No!
The singer looks at the guitarist.
Singer: Show him.
The guitarist gets down on his knees and plays a silent guitar solo. The Man rolls his eyes and departs.
Singer: (SIGHS) Time to go back to the day job, lads.
CUT TO: Ext. Street.
The musicians are dressed as mime artists. They scream out what they're miming.
