Funky Rocker Design Plans [ PREMIUM | Strategy ]

Moe stomped the Hydraulic Stank-Face Pedal. The drums tilted. He rode the toms like a surfboard. Lulu’s pogo-bass produced a low-frequency wobble that made the health inspector’s clipboard jiggle off the bar. And Spiro, dangling upside-down from the ceiling in a sequined leisure suit, opened his mouth.

For himself, Spiro built a microphone stand that hung upside-down from the ceiling. He sang into the base while his feet dangled. “This way,” he explained, suspended like a funky bat, “my lyrics drip upward into the subconscious.” He tested it by crooning “You Left Me for a Mime” while spinning slowly.
