Dude, what are you doing kicking around with Warren Ellis?
We've never said a word to the crowd as a band. We get on play and then get off. It was kinda what just happened, but people said they liked it, so we just don't say anything, which is fine by us.

We are all pretty big fans of him and so whenever he puts out a call for his podcast our guitarplayer/songwriter sends him a track. He usually describes each song he puts on his podcast in a little blog post on whatever his webcommunity is at the time. I think we've been featured 3 times? Maybe more

This is the way to do it. We pretty much do this though sometimes one of the singers will say "we are The Moon Knights" sometime around 3 songs into a set. That said I think that some bands CAN pull off banter. Just not many. Matt & Kim have good banter. JUICEBOXXX has good banter. We don't so we don't do it.
I never know what to classify my music as. I just tell people I play the same twelve notes that everyone else does. either that or I point at something around me that I like and ask them if they like that....and if they do I tell them they'd probably like us.
Our old name was The Toadstools and we played a set, and then these two drunk women came up and were like "you guys were really good, but you need to change your band name, it's too silly....you need something more serious." I told them "life shouldn't be that depressing, and you totally missed the point."

It's hard to describe your band's genre because there's such a specific way of defining it that you sound like such a pretentious douche, just check my signature
It would be fun to play standing, but its too hard to reach the kick pedal. My old drum teacher said he made something that extended it so he could play standing up.
Although I like to think that I look like Steven Drozd while playing.
