• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Making the Band

1. Go to this URL. The title of that page is your band's name.
2. Go to that URL again (or click "Random page" on the side bar). That's the name of your album - if this is your first post here, it's your debut!
3. Go to this random number generator. It should be from 7 to 12; this is the number of tracks on your album.
4. For every track on your album, go to that first URL. The title of the article is the name of the song.
5. Finally, once you have that, go to Flickr's random images and pick the first one on that page. That's your album cover.

I'll start off. :)

The Cornish Times figured that after three line-up changes and the wild success of their first album, First Ward Wardroom, it was time for a new album. So after three beers, a few lessons on the pan flute, and about five hours in the studio, here's their new album, Arrhenothrix.

Band Bio:
Formed in late 1998, The Cornish Times could be best described as nu-pop ska-thrash blackened funeralcore. They're fond of folk instruments like the shamisen, the pan flute, and the hollowed skull of a rival tribesman. Their line-up currently consists of three Welsh guys that don't know each others' names, an extremely intelligent octopus named Rocco, Emperor Tiberius, and a technoviking from the future. They're best known for not wearing pants and shelling out more albums than Iron Maiden. Fun fact: all of their songs contain loops of childbirth in the background.

After Leader of the Opposition (Australian Capital Territory) debuted their album, the drummer and the guitarist quit in the middle of their tour around Europe. Though they came back half an hour later because they didn't have the money for a flight back to Australia. This somehow inspired their next album:
