The Shoulderblades

The Shoulderblades were a now-defunct bayrock band featuring Liam Peacock and Phil Howell on guitars and vocals, and Aiden Dunne on drums. They originally formed in 1998, and continued on for two years, before adding new members and changing the band's name to Overbored. Many ages later, in 2003, they reformed, with the same members and the same crappy songs. In a case of history repeating itself, they added new members and changed their name to The Commie Ninjas a year later.
== The beginning, brief existence, and merciful end ==
The Shoulderblades originally formed as a guitar-only duo in 1998, at the suggestion of either Liam or Phil, depending on who you ask. They added Aiden on drums just as their first album (cassette tape only), Voices In My Head was being finished. Consequently, Aiden's only appearance on the album is on backing vocals for the song Someone Else's Dream. Soon after releasing this tape, of which fewer than ten were ever made, with only one known to still exist, they played their first and only show, at an art school graduatiion run by Karen Butt and MCd by Peter Howell. The most notable thing about this show was the younger students in the art class making an unintelligible mess of the poem Arty, Arty, Where Are You?, and being called back out to recite the poem a second time. Soon after, they added bass player Daniel Clarke and singer Andrew Strickland, effectively forming a new band and getting rid of the Shoulderblades identity entirely...

During December 2003, with Liam on holiday from Mount Allison, Aiden was bored and looking for a show to play, and called up Liam and Phil with the heinous idea of bringing back the Shoulderblades. So they gathered at Aiden's house, dusted off their Eve6 covers and a few tracks from Voices In My Head, and latched on to the bayrock show of the month. Liam wore pyjamas. During spring break of 2004, they played another show, this one with Liam wearing Stacey Tuttle's prom dress. It was then that they decided to add bass player Mitchel Ford and change their name to Mustard McGee's All Bagpipe Revue.
