Music to make your bones jitter and your hips shake. Music to make your feet move and your head sway. Music to make your beard and mind grow. A jam band manages to deliver a sense of freedom to the crowd. Jam bands free lance and improv. all while staying with each other and feeding off each others experimental energy. In a jam bands set, you'll find peices of the core song they started with, blended for your delight with a variety of instrumental solo's and always amazing percussion. jam Bands can be appreciated not only by people on drugs, but also by people who just dig music and the phases it grows through. (trust me though it's better when your high as cheese) Bands include Phish, Grateful Dead, String Cheese Incident Widespread Panic, The Allman Brothers Band,Moe, The Big Wu and other music that hints towards these areas of music.
Hey you, why do you like Jam Bands, it just sounds like noise? wheres the catchy chorus?
Hey, simple human, because in a world where most peoples spirits are being tugged from them and hidden behind bills and death, it's nice to get sucked into a spiral of warmth and energy that can make me foget i'm human for a while. Just relax and smoke this. Oh, and the catcy chorus is coming after Jerry rips it for another 10 minutes. (past tense - sorry brother, thanks for the tunes)

A real rock band is a group of musicians who more or less follow the principals of Rock 'n Roll.
System of a Down, Rage against the Machine, Metallica, Aerosmith, etc. are examples of a rock band

He's going to the band room to practice, during lunch! What a band fag!

Brandon Smith (guitar) and Kevin Lee Burns (vocals) were the founding duo of Jeta, in Ontario, California, in 2000. Delineating their creative direction by blending electronic compounds with alternative pop/rock marks, the two-person team expanded into a six-piece lineup with the additions of Jeremy Kinnick (vocals, keyboards), Oscar Gutierrez (drums), Bryan Lareau (guitar), and Scott Usher (bass). Revealing strong influences coming from groups such as Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, and other major '80s bands, the California crew started gathering a considerable fan base, mostly due to their ingenious live performances. Following numerous live shows solidifying their major following not only in the U.S. but also in Canada, the band eventually delivered two discs, Jeta Jam and Jeta Internal, in 2001.
Jeta the band songs include....Twist of Fate /The Music Flows/ Little Dreamer

Big Band ( aka Ben Birdland ) is a character from a game called Skullgirls. It's a DLC character with a quite big complexity and a interresting story.
Origin:
Ben Birdland was just a cop in new meridian trying to serve justice and make the city safe. The sad truth was that all the cops were corrupted and were working for Medici Mafia, the mafia that controls the whole city and are also some jerks. Only him and his trustful friend, Irwin, were the good cops here. Once he met some medici goons and started fighting them, then the cops came but, instead of helping Ben they just fleed the medici goons and beat Ben, leaving him heavily wounded and near his death. The good thing was that his friend, Irwin found him and called a doc to help him. Ben wakes up in a lab where he meets Dr. Avian. Dr. Avian is a scientist working for Lab 8, the lab where Ben has been brough to, and told Ben that he managed to set him in an iron lung. And so he became BIG BAND
