| Pleaserock (Music) | comment |
Pleaserock is an independent music collective operating out of Atlanta, Georgia. Originally established as the band Y-O-U in Indianapolis in 2000 by Nick Niespodziani and Peter Olson, they relocated to ATL in the hopes of actually getting somewhere with their music. Two cheaply-produced CDs (a self-titled debut & the Homestar Runner album) and a few quirky gimmicks later, that dream became a reality of sorts. The most prominent of the collective's quirky gimmicks was their assortment of different identities, something a local music article called "alias rock". At least one core member of Y-O-U plays in nearly all of the alias groups. Amongst the Pleaserock aliases (alii?) are...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Y-O-U note (defunct as of 2009)The original identity of the group, an experimental rock band that focused on original music. Y-O-U released five records—three and a half new music, one-half a "best of", and one soundtrack collaboration—between 2003 and 2009 before the band was retired, partly because they were having trouble getting bookings in that form, partly to focus on some of the more-successful aliases.Discography: Y-O-U (2003) Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits (2003, with The Brothers Chaps) Everything is Shifting (2005) Flashlights (2007) The Long-Playing EP (2009)Yacht Rock RevueA nautical-themed ensemble which plays "smooth" rock covers, with varying degrees of sincerity. By far the most financially-successful alias, it has 2 spinoffs of its own: The more easily-transportable Yacht Rock Schooner, and remix duo Yacht Rock DJs.Discography: "A Yacht Rock Holiday: Christmas Vacation/Mele Kalikimaka" single (2009) "Can't Wait for Summer/Good Thing" single (2012) Live at the Georgia Theater (2012) Yacht Rock Revue (2013) Live in Boston (2019) Hot Dads in Tight Jeans (2020)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Indianapolis JonesA new original prog-rock venture fronted by Niespodziani.Discography: Indianapolis Jones (2014) Chaos and Light (2017)Please PleaseRock MeA cover band which plays nothing but Beatles music, including all four Beatles' solo work.Constantly Awesome (formerly The Tupperware Party)A cover band which plays almost exclusively private engagements, like weddings, corporate events, what have you.Nespo JohnnyThe marquee under which Nick Nespodziani makes solo appearances playing Y-O-U songs as well as new material.

(The band is comprised entirely of fictional characters and is the subject of a series of comedy videos. An MP3 of their "smash hit" "Furry Little Muskrat Woman" is floating around the Internets somewhere.)Rock FightA series of audience-decided "battles" between tribute sets to two artists.LimozeenStrong Bad's favorite Hair Metal band.Uno Dos Tres CatorceBilled as "the biggest U2 tribute band in the world...in terms of raw poundage."The Ill-EaglesAn Eagles cover band.John Macentoeshka and the Mosseknuckles note (defunct as of 2004)A Europop quintet which played unannounced sets in public places.The Flying Wallabies note (defunct as of 2004)Not a band, but a "competitive" jump rope team (and the subject of another series of comedy videos).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })OtherSome recent aliases (alii?) feature no Y-O-U members at all: The REMakes (an R.E.M. tribute band), the After Party (a cover band for private events), the Whiskey Gentry (a bluegrass band), and the Atlanta Funk Society (playing funk from the 60s to the 80s). | |

Stylistic Suck: The Mosseknuckles and Three Dawgh Stephens. Averted with the Yacht Rock Revue; their kitschy personas are an act, but they mostly play the music straight. | |

Christmas Songs: Y-O-U did four and put them up for free download. Yacht Rock Revue did two and they're available for digital purchase. Indianapolis Jones contributed a song to an Atlanta-area Christmas compilation album. And Three Dawgh Stephens did...this. | |

Put on a Bus: When Eric Park and Matt Sonnicksen left the group almost simultaneously, the band's website joked that they were both hit by the same Greyhound bus, each on different streets. | |

One Steve Limit: Averted. The last Y-O-U lineup had 2 Marks, and the Yacht Rock Revue has 3 Marks. Cobb started putting a "?" in front of his name on album art, press materials, etc. ("Question Mark", get it?) | |
