Wedding Banned-Gender

And finally... I will discuss my favorite topic... Wedding Banned and Gender.  The reason I love the cover band Wedding Banned so much is because they have a kick-ass female singer in their group.  This is rare.  Especially in comparison to the other bands that are discussed in this blog.  Ballz, as she is known, is one badass girl.  She's a young woman with crazy hair, a spunky attitude, and a bottle of whiskey.  


Having a female in the group brings a dynamic to this band that many others lack.  This definitely appeals to a lot of young girls and in my opinion gives them a lot of confidence or sense of strength.  Having a female singer also allows this band to cover a lot of songs from the past that audiences love to hear, but can't from most all male cover bands.  The audience really got into a lot of the songs Wedding Banned played, many of which would not have the same effect if a male attempted to sing them.  I think many of the people in the audience also found this edgy female rocker quite a hit, and she found a way to really get people into the music.  Also, what's a wedding without a woman?  I think she puts the finishing touch to an exciting cover band that likes to give their audience a great performance and a good time.  I think the gender ratio of the audience depends on the gender ratio of the location the band is performing in, rather than the influences of the genders in the band.  In Carbondale, the audience ratio of males to females consists of a majority of males.  When it comes to gender, I feel like the ratios in the audience don't really vary upon the genders of the members in the band.
