The Band (incorporating I'm With The Band).

The band, often four or five blokes aged between 16 and 34, do everything together. Besides a heavy gigging* and jamming* schedule, they travel together, find ladies together, grow their hair together (except for the single unfortunate- usually the second guitarist- who is always completely bald), drink together and play XBox together. They buy their second-hand jeans, logoed tees and pinstripe/leather jackets in the same shops, go to the same pub where they know the landlord and occasionally sweep out for him in exchange for a few freebies and are always on the verge of being signed by the guy who produced Seal and JJ72.
The band are easy to spot with their slightly self-conscious but generally smug expression as they stalk, pack-like, through local parks and concrete-and-glass structures with an I'm With The Band filming their every move for footage for their website/promo video/ promo Making of the Band DVD.
