The Flailing Pits, the UK's 17th best indie/rock/80s keytar-based cover troupe, was formed by a group of hotties that had two things in common:
• We love music
• We quite fancied being in a band
• We'd all lost close friends and family to cancer and wanted to raise a laugh and funds
So three things in common. Too lazy to run a marathon and too frightened to jump from a plane, showing off to their friends and charging them for the privilege seemed an ideal way to raise money and the Pits were born.
We play a few times a year around London and the South East. Come along, or book us for your wedding, birthday or work bash. We haven't done a funeral yet, but never say never.
We don't take a penny, we pay for petrol, parking tickets and pepperamis. 100% of the money charged or raised goes to a better cause.
The show's a mixture of rock'n'indie tunes, over-ambitious attempts at classics, raffles from generous sponsors and spontaneous terrible puns between each song.
For example:
"Who's that girl at the bar? the one with loads of make up and giant feet"
"Oh, that's a clown called Alice".
"We promised people on the poster that the jokes had improved this time"
"They won't get fooled again".
"My albino cat gets bullied by other cats at night. Any idea how I can stop this?"
"Paint it Black".
