So, some of you may remember this theory from the old board:
But we all know that's not true now right? We all saw Richard for ourselves.
I told the Bluetones of this theory at the end of the tour in December last year... they took it in good humour, possibly a little too much... bit of nervous laughter...
Shit! They've worked it out!
What can they do now? Well, they're going to have to get out the public eye pretty quickly before anyone else works it out and starts investigating properly. Time to end the band! But what about those fans that already have worked it out? Well, prove them wrong. And how do you do that? Bring the most high profile of the keyboard players back from the dead.
One problem, he's dead and "in Australia".
They do wonders with technology these days...
All they need is a reasonable looking android, can't be too hard to get with all those friends in Japan. All they ask is the band do the last gig over there. To get it looking realistic? Well that's not too difficult, Richard already looks like a mannequin anyway:
Now despite what Bender and Futurama would have you believe, I don't think alcohol and robots really mix that well. For a normal band member this would be tricky... but Richard's been "in Australia" and out of the rock and roll lifestyle for quite a few years now, shouldn't be too hard to convince everyone he's just stopped drinking.
He might need some sort of liquid to keep all his parts working smoothly though, some sort of special drink... (best make sure no one else touches it though, not really fit for consumption).
What about making sure he's working? Human size android must take quite a bit of power to keep going. Luckily he's already given the impression of being a well behaved, tucked in bed by 12 type of guy with not touching the alcohol. He's not going to be out partying all night... plenty of time to charge up on the bus overnight.
Keyboard playing must drain it quite a lot... but he doesn't have to play on every song! Just send him for a quick top up charge a few times through the gig. Do it in those more popular first album songs and no one will even notice him missing!
So we have "Richard", back from Australia. You know, the guy who makes bleepy sounds in his spare time. He knows his way around a gadget like it was his own body...
I'm on to you Bluetones!
Don't you remember the curse of the keyboard players? Randy and Beardy are both dead! The Bluetones kill them off once they get bored and they are never heard from again. Poor Alex…
Randy moved to Australia, so no one will ever see him again.
Beardy went to Blunt and then was never heard from again.
These keyboard players just disappear after working with the Bluetones! The band could easily have set up a few online accounts for Randy just to cover the truth… it's online, people will never know!
