[the chewbacca defense]

first to start, Krysta the singer essentially blew out her voice last night, and they found out it was tonsilitis (sp), so she couldn't perform due to her lack of voice, and to fulfill the tour, and not cancel the show/tour, they decided to do an instrumental show, and they invited people on the stage to sing the words.
Here was the setlist to the best of my knowledge
You Ain't No Family
Alaskan Flounder Basket
The Cats Pajamas (i think)
Danger in the Major
See You In Shell
Ulrich Freebird: Breaker of Mountains
Still Jolly After All These Years
Corey Feldman Holocoust (my fave song, so glad they played it)
Tastes Like Kevin Bacon

Here's where the memerable part comes in, I actually got the balls to get up on stage (along with another guy), to sing 'Kevin Bacon'. It was fun as shit (yes i was able to do the death vocals), and probably the only intelligible part of my vocals were the clean singing, towards the end (before the military call, then breakdown), and the euro dance part. I probably hit notes i never thought i could during that part.
I hope to god someone taped it somehow, and puts it on youtube. Also the great part to, was Steven the lead guitar player, who also served as MC for the night, asked if i was Asain, and then mentioned that i had the best beard he's ever seen on an asain. lol.

He also said that they will make up this date (and prob the others on the tour) in a few months
and shockingly, Miss May I was actually very good, and i picked up their CD in the back since it was $5.00.

And now i have no voice too lol, the fans that went up there did have damn good voices for the genre (although most of them didn't do the cleans)

I will def be back again when the band reschedules.

thank Gary Busey the actor for that name, as apparently on his show in the 90's he radomly said that, and thats where the band got it from.
And here's the song i ended up doing

I'm sorry, but this is the lamest gimmick hipster scene kid band I've ever had the displeasure of knowing about.

one of their dates on this tour i believe is in grand rapids, as i don't believe they are stopping the tour at all, as Steven put it "we didn't want to be fuckin pussies and cancel and go home", and he did appologize several times, and stated they will be back in a few months

Kinda reminds me of when I saw Chimaira at Harpos a few years ago on my birthday, and Mark Hunter had a death in the family. So they came out with a 15 minute or so instrumental, then all of Chimaira sang vocals through a few songs, as did Erik Rutan (which was very comical), Angela Gossow, all the guys from God Forbid, and they picked out a random kid from the audience to sing Pure Hatred! It was badass. If anyone had the setlist with whom sang what... post it please! Good job onstage btw, I'm not a fan of that band, but fun stuff nonetheless.
