Standard
From fbft
A two-piece with a drum and a bass, Standard was often the recipient of contrived comparisons to godheadSilo. Standard often incorporated stage props and gimmicks, calling themselves “Vertical†or “Horizontal†depending on the pattern of shirt worn; Chad would sing through the rotating blades of a fan (it seldom worked); Chad would perform strange dances without moving his hips; and the name of “Navin†was invoked.
Standard played excessively loud with a modicum of harmony, their performances were always different and difficult. The band opened for numerous touring bands, played Bubba’s basement several times a week and Chad and Jarod likely hold the record for membership in the most Fargo bands.
