Well, good news. Flat Stanley moves on to the finals along with local bands, Stifflers Mom, Garden of Bedlam, Blues Harvest and Nebraska to be held on Wednesday. I think we squeaked in as we had a mic go down on our first song. That's show biz. I did get attacked by a local drummer in front of my table of friends just before we were to take the stage. Noooooo Not Dr. Phil. Same style though. This time it was Mr. Frank M. You know, the guy who started that band the Bea Aurthers that did a bunch of sick stuff about local musicians. yeah that guy. What I should have done was called the cops but laughing at him seemed to work best. I don't scare easily. Why is it that people think I can't handle myself in person? Just because I shoot my mouth of on here doesn't mean I'm not able to hold my own in public. sheesh. Anyways, he also went after another musician in the audience. I won't mention his name out of respect for him but with the witnesses we had to Franks entire conversation and threats which included many colourful adjectives and some wet slobber and hissing, he's going to get arrested. Obviously he stalked us to the battle of the bands to get even with both of us for things in his shrunken skull that don't add up to "2". yes, he's crackers. He finally went away after I wouldn't play his macho game. He most likely went to his rubber room. And women like guys like this? sheesh. I don't get it. There's nothing like a confrontation just when I'm about to go on stage. Tell me that wasn't planned |O| Unfortunately for him, I don't rattle that easy and I had a fun time on stage despite Franks bullshit. Oh wait, there's more. YES, I got in the bar and YES 2 smurfs were there. Not the 2 main dickheads, does that surprise anyone? Needless to say 2 smurfs were there. *yawn* Flat Stanley played ok but not great by any means. We had a mic problem right out of the gates so our first song didn't have lead vocals on the verse and chorus but we did squeak into the finals. I don't think we have the muster to win the finals but who knows. I truly enjoyed Blues Harvest who also made the finals. Psycotic Rampage were great and totally different than anyone. They unfortunately didn't make the finals but they put on a great show. Some bands were so tuned down guitar wise that the sound was inaudible. They may have been playing great but it just sounded like mud where I was sitting. Tuning down has disadvantages and clarity is one of them. Crank Sound was great as usual and FAST. The show went on without a hitch. Believe me, moving 10 bands around isn't an easy task but they were right on their gamel. Two thumbs up. There are some great drummers in these bands. I enjoyed them very much ;-)

You guys did great Freq! Pat and I were on the other side. We missed most of the bands but got there in time for Stifflers and you guys. What happened to your singers mic? We couldn't hear him for the first part of the song. Glad you made it to the finals. We couldn't stick around as Pat had to work in the AM. I'll try an make it Wednesday.

Here are the winners for night 2
Sleazy Smurphy Lion Ride Nixxon Dixxon Sense of Truth Wishbone
Word has it the Billy Bastards were robbed last night and it's probably correct but don't feel bad. We ALL sense the winner of this and it smells like Smurfy poop so it doesn't matter if you think you'll win, the Cheeze Mysters will take it. It's been arranged |O| Wanna see? Wait. Call it a FREQish prediction. Crowd participation will steal it for them and that's why I never believed in adding the crowd part as part of the judging. If you have exposure to gain a fan base and another band doesn't, how can "crowd" response be part of the judging. We know the Cheeze kings won't win on song quality |O| I'm telling you, the Karaoke Express will slime it up to a win.
I've always had my vote on Wishbone but we shall see. Maybe it's because I recorded their 2nd album and no one has heard the material that was written for it. ;-) There are some winning songs there.
Why not my band Flat Stanley? haha.. It's easy, we're on Smurf turf. I think it was a set up we're in the finals in the first place. Call that another Freqy hunch. Let's see, The band Wishbone I use to play for gets boycotted by the Smurfs and bar owner for a show and I get boycotted from playing a show at this bar because I'm evil, with a ton of flack against Cheezie Smurfy for organizing this with the bar owner. One month later we're in a Battle of the Bands at the same bar with the same slime band in the finals but this time, no boycott or flack??. Come on. And who's in the finals with said Smurfs? The 2 entities they screwed over. It's fixed.. SETUP!!! I'm telling you, we're just part of a set up. ;-) Smurfs will win via sexual favours |O| All the other bands should just not show up as the winner was decided weeks ago. Wouldn't that be the cats ass though? Let Smurfs show up by themselves |O| I'm telling you, the other bands are NOT going to win even though they should.

Billy Bastards are different and that's why they lost. The Sault doesn't grasp change well. They should have been in there.
