When we convened to begin planning our set for SBS 2008 all the way back in December, we gave ourselves one task: To come up with a set we think Duran Duran fans would enjoy. What you won't hear from Chekhov's Wig are straight cover songs. Instead, we're taking the basic framework and building something different around it; We're respecting the originals, but giving them a new twist that fits our strengths as musicians and our interests as fans of the music.
To that end, the four of us have made numerous song suggestions prior to rehearsals. As we're running everything as democratically as possible, most of those songs were cut loose in favor of others.
This is where you come in: While we're not prepared to announce what we are playing (beyond what you'll see in videos posted on our MySpace profile, but even those songs might not be around come January), we would like your help in selecting one song.
The poll above is comprised entirely of songs we've considered, but rejected in favor of something else. We want you to bump one song up into our set list. We want you to let us know what you'd like to hear.
We're hoping those of you who are planning to attend SBS 2008 will participate and help create the set you'd like to hear from Chekhov's Wig, but the poll is not exclusive. If you're on the fence about SBS, play along. Even if there's no way in Hell you're going to be able to make it to New York City in January, we'd still like to hear from you.
The absolute deadline for this poll will be end of the day on April 14, one week before our next session.
This is the first of many contests, polls and other interactive Chekhov's Wig ideas we're going to be floating this year.
We're a band made up of fans from the forums. We're your band.
