It's been playing on my mind lately that Duckdive has become slightly less fashionable than it once was. Or that fashion has caught up to Duckdive. Before Marisa went on her merry jaunt to faraway shores we were riding a wave of popularity, acclaim and novelty. But whilst Marisa was gone we saw the appearance of many folk-pop bands/artists. Personally, I think it's about time we updated or 'modernised' our image to give us an edge that is sorely lacking in the indie-pop of today. Here's some ideas I came up with...
1. We all get vintage Rod Stewart haircuts, wear cowboy boots and cite the Rolling Stones and the Small Faces as an influence.
2. We murder Missy Higgins.
3. We start playing shows naked. Or we gradually strip throughout the show. Okay, just Marisa strips.
4. We start throwing out handfuls of ecstacy to our audiences.
5. We murder Missy Higgins.
6. We enlist a tuba player (Ian Smith?) and start playing polka numbers.
7. We set fire to our instruments whilst playing them... ala Rammstein.
8. We murder Missy Higgins.
Alright. So, obviously I'm all for some casual murderin'. What do you folks think? Any suggestions?

ps. I'd like to apologise to any Nu-School rockers I may have offended with my 'Rod Stewart haircut' remark. It's a fine fairstyle and he is an exemplary peformer. Missy Higgins, however, must be killed.
