The headline should read “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!…hey! that’s actually pretty good…”
Which is nearly exactly what I was saying before we actually rehearsed 
but after our first session in Boston, I was blown away – these guys are unbelievable musicians and we came up with some originals that are really fun and have alot to do with – you guessed it – flash
The time has finally come to let the cat out of the bag (for later, we’d have a dead cat) and announce Phlash5 – A band of Flash musicians. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Nearly everyone I know, that’s a flasher, plays music – in fact, I’ve met so many that I purchased flashMusicians.com and flashDrummers.com a while back. There’s some natural draw for musicians when it comes to flash!
Check out seb’s post on the band (much more words than I have)

[...] I am very much glad to be home, but sad that Aral is going to be half way round the world and away from me for another week, and that I am going to miss the debut of Phlash5! I think the next week will go pretty quickly as I’ve got lots to do before Aral comes back and I’m house, cat and dog sitting next Friday for a week whilst my mum goes to Sorrento with my aunt to tour around the coast for a week [...]
