Re: GO Crankdaddy, GO!
Okay, so here's a quick summary.
4 bands last night, we were on second.
We rocked harder, louder, and faster than we've ever done before. I wouldn't say we were the tightest we've ever been, but no matter. We had fun and "sold it" to the crowd -- which was comprised mostly of people from my ad agency. They were awesome -- some chicks threw panties at us, I threw underwear back at them. it was loadsa fun.
There were a few tech glitches...there was no soundcheck, obviously, so all levels were done on the fly. Finally got me some vocal monitor by the third song. The other guitarist in the band broke a couple strings mid song, mine became unplugged from the amp, etc. Still, we just kept hitting it, never missing a beat.
The club was insanely hot, so by the end of our 40 minute set I was near death. We closed with "People Whose Asses I could Kick," and when I was singing the last verse (about Ozzy) I almost puked. Twice.
In short, it was freaking awesome. I had the best time ever.
The last band to play called themselves "Malice in Underland", and put together a very fun show. They all had make up and/or masks on, the one guitarist (a huge guy who played a Jackson for a couple songs)was totally covered in black paint, one of the vocalists had orange hair and wore a shirt with "I will rape your family" scrawled on the back. They were very tight and hit it hard. At one point they sprayed Silly String on the crowd, which I thought took away from the whole evil, menacing Mushroomhead effect, but that's just one guy's opinion. They were great to watch.
The question you're asking now is "Didja win?" Well, we don't know yet. After all 33 bands play, they'll announce the top 16 scoring bands in a couple weeks. If we make that cut, we gotta do it again. So keep your fingers crossed.
Some pics were taken. I'll try to post a couple if I can.
And to all you Crankdaddy supporters on this forum, let me just say thank you once again. You guys are awesome!Comment

Re: GO Crankdaddy, GO!
BTW, I don't know what is more disturbing: that your groupies names are Donn Tom and Andres, or that they have to write their names on their underwear to remember them...

By the way, Tetsuo, I'm with you on the "rape" thing. When I read his shirt, I cringed.
I know the dude was just trying to be shocking and provocative, but there are other ways to do it.
Talk about extremes, right? His shirt says that, then he sprays freaking silly string at the audience. Goofy.Comment
