since iāve seen people confused about the name of samās band
the name of samās band is determined by your answer in his two-heart event, when he asks what style of music you like.
cheerful pop - āthe pelicansā
hi-energy dance music - āxenon chip 3.0ā³
experimental noise rock - āgoblin destroyerā
honky-tonk - āthe alfalfasā
they play a different song for each genre in the eight-heart event. emily, shane and leah have different comments for certain songs too.
i believe you canāt see the eight heart event if you havenāt seen the two heart event, but it is possible to skip the two-heart event cutscene without answering the question and picking a music style. in that case i believe the band name will beĀ āthe pelicansā but iām not positive. there also wonāt be any music playing during the performance since the game doesnāt know which song to put there.
giving sam a suggestion for the subject of a song (which may come up in daily dialogue, not a cutscene) doesnāt change the band performance, but sam will say āthis song is about [whatever you chose]ā before they perform. if you never answered that question, heāll just say āhere we goā¦ā instead.
iāll add links to the different songs in the notes!
