Is there a "Rock Band" of Opticians and/or should there be?

I don't know if this has been asked before or not, but here we go anyway.

Is there an "Official" Optician band that plays conferences and such? Kind of like the Bad Habits - Eye Docs of Rock. Or the Lost Faculties.

I saw that the Bad Habits were playing at East West, and thought I'd ask.

Cheers.

Off Axis is a personal favorite.

I'm sorry but I'm confused.

OB's own Shanbaum is a member...keyboards and vocals. They've been playing at the Eye Rock concerts for a couple of years now, but they've been together for a while.

Yes, Kara!

It was just a fun topic. Since there are "The Bad Habits - Eyedocs of Rock" and "The Lost Faculties" (which I hadn't heard of), I was just wondering if there was a band of Opticians that plays at events as an organized kind of thing.

Again, just for fun...but now the band names might start rolling in....

The Loose Screws

Broken Hinges

Slab Off's

The Fresnels

Temples of Doom

I'll stop now.

Gotcha cool!!!!

Think I'll start an all girl optician rock band. We'll call ourselves "The Pretty Prisms."

Unfortunately, there will be no Eye Rock at VEW this year, but we'll most likely be at it again at VEE in March.

If you're interested in playing, you can PM me and I'll get you in touch with Steve Santinelli, who is the man most responsible for putting the events together.
