Like it says, Charlotte’s (and kinda Wintson’s I guess, since ex-Husbians Rick Randall is based in Winston) Alternative Champs are in town tonight playing at The Garage. The Champs also feature my former band-mate, ex-Come on Thunderchild vocalist/guitarist/keys player John Morris… and of course “Big Mike” of Jolene and The Hardsoul Poets as well. Here’s the blurb on them from the Garage newsletter:
Part performance art, stand up comedy, satirical theatre, and gigantic stadium rock band, The Alt Champs are like a musical Monty Python emphasizing the bizarre and hilarious while thoroughly rocking you along the way. Although they’re spawned from such critically acclaimed, regional favorites as Jolene, Rebar, and The Husbians, these guys are as unique to their past endeavors as they are to the rest of the music world.
Also in the lineup for the evening are The Westside Daredevils, Andy Freakin’ Mabe, and The Saving Graces–a band fronted by Michael Slawter of the fabulous local music history site www.ncmusichistory.com.
