Original Music Video and Lyrics

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild.

Costume for Music Video

I believe the band would look good in all black - black shirt, black trousers and black shoes. Also having discussed this with the band, this is also the usual costume they wear when performing. All of the band members wearing white ties, and the lead singer should wear a coloured tie of his choice.
This way the band will look smart and like a group - but still have individual identity.

Logo

I have decided on the logo below to represent the band as it is plain and simple, yet stands out to grab the audience’s attention, it is neither too complicated or un-interesting. It is clean and professional looking and will appeal to the audience which the band is trying to appeal to.

Logo Ideas

I researched 'Group Therapy' on Google, to try and get an idea of the sort of symbols used and which relate to 'Group Therapy', but the images didn't fit with the bands image and were not suitable. So instead, I decided to use a simpler font logo which stands out and can easily be placed on other products for the band.
Below is a selection of fonts which I believe are suited for the band and are simple, but will make the band stand out.

These six fonts, I believe make the bands' logo individual and would fit what the band is and would be appropriate.
Out of the six logos, I think that the third and fourth logos are the best and would be a great logo for the band.


I used the site : http://www.dafont.com/ to get the logo for the band.

The Original Music Viedo, 'Come Up And See Me' - Steve Harley and Cockney Rebels

The style of the band in the video and the set is very colourful and bright, but challenges the conventions for the pop/rock genre. The costumes of the band members are shown below.

Ofcourse the clothing is dated as the video is from the 1970's, but the costume is colourful and quirky and does in some ways portray the conventions of pop- as the colours are the primary colours, but this is not so much rock.
The setting of the video is on a stage with bright colours, to make the band stand out and look 'cool' - this could be a similar setting to Group Therapy's video, with use of bright colours to make the band stand out.

The setting is quite child like as there is block colours and blocks which are placed around the stage. I believe this makes it visually appealing to all ages. The simple set also focuses the attention on the band members. I think this is important as it shows the audience the band memebers as a group and individually.

Song Choice

The song choice the band has made is 'Come Up And See Me', originally sung by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel in 1975. The song was also written by Steve Harley and included on the album 'The Best Years Of Our Lives'. The song is of a pop/rock genre.
Many covers of this song have been done, including one by Suzie Quatro in 1976, Duran Duran's live cover in 1984 and Erasure's cover in 2003.
The song, 'Come Up And See Me' was Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel's biggest selling hit and sold over one million copies world wide.
The song has also been used in on many film soundtracks, including; The Full Monty (1997), Saving Grace (2000) and Blackball (2003). It has also been used on television adverts for Marks and Spencers and Carlsburg.

Similar Band and Style

The Twentysomethings are one of the top party and wedding bands. They have performed to top celebrities such as Ben Fogel, Sir Paul McCartney and even royalty, Prince William and Harry. Their image and clothing is similar to Group Therapy.

The shirts, ties and trousers create a proffessional and smart look for the band, and this would be an ideal look for Group Therapy as it would give the impression they would wish to give, and also appeal to the correct target audience; pub-goers and couples who wish to get married.
