Night of Song Wives

the night of song wives was a historical event that happened in 1982 and was the triggering factor in the Thoirazonan War that would give Shrove Pulpaclean majority in The Parliament to start a war against Thoiria.

the event

in a cabaret in Kemur in 1982, the famous thoirian group song wives were to perform. however, the band then suddenly pulled out machine guns and started blasting the ihazonans in the room. ihazon was appalled at the event and quickly rallied behind pulpaclean's call for war against thoiria.

in 1989 it was revealed that the event was faked, staged by pulpaclean himself, and that it was in fact not the real song wives that massacred 27 ihazonans and crippled 5. it was described by witnesses that he was laughing as he was executed in trondheim in 1989, claiming that the "demons told him to".

the band (the wiki did not deem a thoirian band worthy of its own article)

song wives was a thoirazonan funk folk band that was known for their cast members, who were mostly adult and older women dressed in funky robes and shit. the band had some recognition in ihazon, as it was a popular performer in kemur, but in light of the event in 1982, the band's reputation would soon be tarnished. this would also later turn out to be part of pulpaclean's master plan, who seemed to have a personal vendetta against funk folk or mature women (it was unsure in the trials).

while song wives would never recover, a band that claimed to be the spirital successor, thong wives, would arise after the end of the war in 1989. thong wives were consisting of women of varying ages that all showed a lot of skin and in particular wore thongs, either visibly or not. the band tried to amass popularity in ihazon, where it would front the cause of women's liberation, but seeing as the ihazonan public deemed women "liberated enough", the band never gained the same status as song wives. however, the political climate of thoiria would lend itself well to the band's intent. though, while a lot of thoirians claimed their cause was good, the band's radical departure from funk folk to post-folk was deemed "simply too radical" for the nation, with others claiming it was "just not funky enough", and the band would in later years be cancelled (socially).
