The piece is a transcription of a gig that happened at some point, some time ago. These aren’t the original players; it is a recreation of this gig, scored out as accurately as possible. This is an archaeological dig and presentation of bones, compiled from bootlegs, footage and hearsay. There are imperfections – for example, we do not quite know whose voices are on the recordings, nor who the line-up was at the time, so some lines may be misattributed. The band was called Doom and the Dooms. There was a moment in time where this sound, and even instrumentation, was becoming a genre. There were copycats, even similar setups with singers from quite famous bands. There was traction, – it might have stayed, could have been a movement, bands might have looked like this now. Instead, it was swept away by other bands of the time. People preferred lyrics and more beautiful people, which is fair.
