Also producer and writer of lyrics if not everything, because he has to have things his way.

...So what does Jayne do? ~~Backup vocals with Kaylee?~~

*mental image, boggles* Roadie, perhaps? And Simon is the (Stage/Tour) Manager?

NO. They are all in the band! Nine people...

...That must mean they have - damn, I forgot the english word - trumpet and trombone and sax - unit.

Aw, come on, can't you just see Simon getting all flustered because the band members keep messing with his carefully planned schedule, and then he needs to watch Jayne lug some heavy equipment around for a bit?

OTOH ...
Mal - Lead guitar, songwriting (aka, the Noal Gallagher of the group);
Inara - Lead singer (aka, the Liam Gallagher of the group, HA!);
Wash - Drums;
Zoe - Bass;
Book - Rhytm guitar?
Simon - Sax (! Mmmm.)
River - ?
Jayne - ?

[Aw, come on, can't you just see Simon getting all flustered because the band members keep messing with his carefully planned schedule, and then he needs to watch Jayne lug some heavy equipment around for a bit?] - I can totally see both things, while at the same time they also have a musical part in the band. Bands carry their own stuff around, not everyone is a hugely rich rockstar - especially not the Serenity people - and every band, if they're lucky, has someone who's insane about keeping them on time and off the drugs. Or in Simon's case, getting and administrating the drugs.

Book can do rhythm guitar and backing vocals; Kaylee and River are the backing vocal girls who are sometimes given keyboard or a triangle or a tambourine and are expected to be cute. Jayne can do guitar or bass very nicely. But then, not enough - what are they called? All the - BRASS! I think. Simon+Book+Jayne? No, makes more sense if it's Simon+River+Kaylee. The sax/trumpet/trombone - big band - nine people - thing.

Are we caring too much about this bunny?

OMGPOPSLASH.

Hm, but there's plenty of rock bands with sometimes even more than nine members who don't have a formal brass section. I was thinking, saz, sure, but trumpet and trombone would perhaps not "fit" with their "image". *ponders more*

So Simon is pretty definitely the sax player--possibly comes from more of a jazz club background and isn't used to this rock 'n roll thing, possibly thinking himself better than that, even?

River and Kaylee as background singers, yesyesyes, definitely, and Book on rhytm guitar, and Jayne on second bass (hee, second base! ... never mind), maybe?

Are we caring too much about this bunny?

No such thing, surely? (Especially not at 10:10AM on a slow day at work. :D)

OMGPOPSLASH.

Serenity: The Boyband? Oh, now you've done it ... (SPACE COWBOY!)

They could have lots of rhythm guitars or backing singers, but I kinda like brass :)

Jayne is gonna be horrible with groupies, huh. No way around that. ~~Unless Mal keeps him literally on a leash~~.

You're of course right about Simon being more "educated" than the rest - River too - ohh, she can do cello. You know, that can work so well with rock. Classical training - okay, I so shut up. But it does remind me of Type O Neg, and Jayne, and contrabass looking like a little guitar in the hands of a big enough man.

More on pop - Mal not wanting to sell out but eventaully convinced by the money? Oh god, Jayne saying "the money was too good, I got stupid" gives for a whole field full o' bunnies.

Groupies and alcohol, man. *shakes head*

Ooooh, perfect! And contrabass for Jayne, yis. He can be part of the rhytm section. ~~Mmmthreesome.~~

Dude. Yes! Perfect! He did a big interview with some magazine or something, in spite of Mal not wanting them to do any interviews at all cause it's supposed to be just about the music, or somesuch.

"We are staying true to rock!"

"Aw, cmon, Mal. There's more coin in pop. Just try this [tiny, hot pink, belly-showing] shirt on. How come you's always gettin' to choose jobs?"

Also, "I am not wearing a miniskirt, sir."

Also, Kaylee might support Jayne on the whole Britney angle.

*cackles evilly* I bet Wash wouldn't have a problem with wearing a miniskirt.

"*shrug* It's not like anyone can really see me, anyway, sitting behind my drums."

"Thank god for small mercies."

"Are you implying my husband doesn't have the legs for a miniskirt, sir?"

"Look, Mal, you can stick to rock and still make money--look at the Stones! Here, at least try these leather pants on once."

Wash in a miniskirt is the OTHER bunny I'm trying to do. No confuse poor li'l Adam please.

...Jayne's just trying to perv on Mal, huh.

Jayne has a cunning plan to get Mal laid already, in the hopes that it'll loosen him up a little. Preferable, the other party involved in said getting-laid would be Jayne, but he's not too picky. Simon will do, too, or any random groupie, even.

First of all, unlock this bunny. It should spread like a bunny-disease.

Second. Ahhh, the classic sharing-of-groupies-to-hide-homoerotic-sexual-tension. Sweet. Oldest trick - well, a pretty old trick.

Cat says stuff about how bands start small and then people just seem to join until the band is rather large, which is perfect Serenity history...

huh, I hadn't realised this entry was locked. o_O ,em>*fixes*

And clearly, Saffron is one of the groupies--the scary stalker type. Which won't stop Jayne, obviously.

Oooh, yes, it starts out with Mal and Zoe, and then they get a drummer, and then the others slowly come in, and it's all good, except most of the band kind of questions Mal's sanity when he gets Inara in on it because she's a bit of a diva, but she can sing, so they'll live with it, and when Simon and River join, Jayne gets cranky because he doesn't get why a rock band would need a sax and a cello anyway, and why is Mal so opposed to going a little pop-ish because "it's not rock" when they have the very un-rock-like sax and cello, dammit?

Yes! Keyboards! Perfect! :D

On keyboards, in a dress. All kinds of shiny outfits for the keyboard girl!

Yes! A silver dress or something like that! And brightly coloured hair!

Little plastic butterflies in the hair!

Eeeyes! Sparkly ones! And a gazzillion bangly bracelets!

River dances with a tambourine.

Hm, dancing good, but Mal would insist she actually play an instrument, I'd think.

Heehee :)
Simon would bring her in, and only produce things if she's included?...

Oooh, yes, and Mal really wants to have a sax player, because secretly he wants to be Bruce Springsteen, so he relents. :D

lol
Go crack!
