Best Gig Ever
Well, the gig is confirmed:
Live Nation Presents:
Bumpus Hounds Live
April 8th, 2008
Arizona Insane Asylum
Ok, I exaggerate a little. Unfortunately, we aren't big enough to be promoted by Live Nation. Also, I don't think the place is called the Arizona Insane Asylum. Make no mistake, even though that is not the official name, the venue is indeed a mental rehabilitation center. To that end, I have concocted an ultimate cover setlist. This will be the proper order, methinks:
(Welcome Home) Sanitarium - Metallica
Mama, Weer All Crazee Now - Quiet Riot
Crazy Train/Suicide Solution Medley - Ozzy Osbourne
Crazy - Aerosmith
Insane in the Membrane (folk remix) - Cyprus Hill
Oh man, the options are endless. There are even a few Suicidal Tendencies songs that would work well for this most inappropriate set.
All kidding aside, I am leaving Mike to the setlist. I know we are doing Hole Hearted (an anthem from a couple weeks ago), but other than that, I am uncertain. Oh, there will be a medley that will include "Join Together" by The Who and "Yoda" by Wierd Al. The rest of that medley is still in the air. If I get any pictures or video to post, I will certainly do so.
How did we get this gig? This is a state sponsored event and Mike works for the state.

How could you NOT take this golden opportunity to pay homage to the GREATEST band EVER!!!
'Stone Cold Crazy' - Queen
I am disappointed in you son.
That is a good one. Another that comes to mind is "Goin' Crazy" by David Lee Roth.
Mike wants to know what Bumpus means.
I however want to know what is love?
Baby, don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me.
No more.
I am not sure where the name comes form. Mike (Bahr) came up with it. I have his blog is linked on my main page. Ask him.
Personally, I put in my vote for "Cerebral Palsy", "Cleft Palette", or "Syndrome of a Down". They were all vetoed due to a conflict of interest with Mike's work.
It's from A Christmas Story. The dad is constantly being pestered by those damn Bumpus hounds from next door.
I read that on the wikipedia and thought "Nah, can't be that. That's not gross enough.."
Mike was the mastermind behond the name. My ideas were gross or just plain inappropriate.
See above.
