That reminds me of Veffidas, the Zentradi drummer from Macross 7. She says maybe a single sentence in the whole show, with about 95% of her screentime being silently drum-soloing in the background on whatever object is available. Hell, she even does the drum equivalent of air guitar if nothing is available to drum on. And she never, even shows any kind of emotion; some really serious shit has to happen to distract her so much that she stops drumming.

Is this your vision for Rei? Because it is, I highly approve. :D

Though I haven't seen the show in question, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Rei, Mari and Asuka should come together as an electropop group with an energetic on-stage performance and coordinated costumes.

As if you couldn't already distinguish each of them by their different hairstyles (and hair colors), Rei gets to wear shorts (or clothes that are ultimately nothing different from shorts), Asuka and Mari stick with dresses or skirts, Mari's always being a bit shorter compared to Asuka. Yes, Mari gets the mini skirts!

Now, if we go along the line of Beauty, Brains and Brawn, we first have Asuka, 'the chick', also being the most outwardly emotional (however that may end), Mari as the 'Meganekko' and often the quietest of the trio (if that is even possible with Rei around), but more in a sense of being 'kuudere', and finally Rei, who's performing her dance moves with robot-like precision.

Asuka - alto

Misato - mezzo soprano
Ritsuko - producer
Kaji - lead guitar (yeah)
Shinji - cielo
Kaworu - violin
Aoba - bass
PenPen - drums

It's weird, I started thinking if Shinji played another instrument besides cello, it'd be bass. I guess because they're similar?

I can't see a band gelling because Shinji would want it to be the Smiths, Asuka would be after Rammstein, and Rei would probably be into weird denpa stuff.

So they're a multi-genre supergroup. They cannot be contained within mere musical categories.

Came up with it while brushing my teeth

Led Zeppelin-style blues rock band:
Shinji: bass/keyboard
Rei: guitar and theremin
Asuka: lead singer
Toji: drums

Death Metal band named Das Oktoberfest Der Blut.

Asuka: Main vocalist, lead guitar.
Shinji: Supporting guitar.
Rei: Backing vocals, bass.
Misato: Drums.

Rei would eventually usurp Asuka's role as lead vocalist after her metal growl turns out to be god-tier and her facemelters literally melt faces.

Meanwhile they'd all go up against Touji, Kensuke and Hikari's Soggy Bottom Boys style Country and Western band, "The 2 Stooges +1".

Either that or Touji and Kensuke could pair up as freestyling rap artists who repeatedly break the fourth wall, and end up defeating SEELE by the power of busting a rhyme.

Gendo and Fuyu as late 80's rap duo, with the Reiquarium as a beatbox chorus.

Okay, here's one:

....the cast of NGE as the cast of Phantom of the Opera.

....yeah, I went there.

Rei is Christine Daae
Shinji is Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny
Gendo is the Phantom
Asuka is La Carlotta
Touji is Armand
Kensuke is Firmin
Misato is Madame Giry
Hikari is Meg

Mmm, I've read this thread yesterday and been disappointed in lack of Rei love. Gonna fix that.
Maybe it's more obvious to me due to my personal interpretation of her character, but I really could see her singing in a band like Crystal Castles or especially The Birthday Massacre. If she had the chance to grow older, ethereal and deranged music could be just right way for Rei to explore herself. She could also become a singer songwriter and go all Hannah Fury on us.
I could see Shinji on vocals in a band like I Hate Myself.
In Asuka's case Either she would keep up her pretend art and be some kind of Eva equivalent of Britney Spears/Miley Cyrus (mental breakdown included). I REALLY could see her being famous for this overly sweet persona, and yet cursing and ridiculing her obsessive fanboys/girls behind closed doors. Or, just as Rei, Asuka could become an subversive singer-songwriter. She would be like Emilie Autumn.
Hope that you won't mind me focusing on vocals - despite my love for music, I don't know much on how instruments work. For some reason, I can only see the main trio as faces of band. Asuka would probably hire some nameless dudes anyway.

For some reason, I can imagine Shinji having a rather messed up dream about Eva when I listen to "The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel.

I had this scenario in my head about the Bridge Bunnies forming a band specifically to play the song "Only a Woman" from Team America while Shinji and Asuka are getting freaky in the bedroom Gary and Lisa style. :lol: I got Aoba as the singer and guitarist given how much he loves to play air guitar, Hyuga as bass, Maya as drummer, and just for fun let's add in Kaworu as the keyboards crying as his unrequited love passes the night with a firecracker! :tongue:

Replace Asuka with Rei and we're all good. :tongue:

Serious time: Shinji, Rei, Asuka and Kaworu as a smooth jazz quartet. Shinji on bass, Rei on vocals, Asuka on saxophone and Kaworu on piano. Renowned for their hit song "The End of the World (Ain't All it's Cracked Up to Be)".
