Mediocrity (Bud Hess) opened tonight's show with some great one-man acoustic stuff and was assisted by Broc Johnson of DosBoot on drums on a few tunes. Also, joining Mediocrity on one tune were Dustin and Tony from Junebug. They performed an almost impromptu version of the Smashing Pumpkins' "Rhinoceros." Following Mediocrity were the Kamikaze Snowmen (Terry Brown, Josh Trumbo, Paul Tebben) with a great set of comic music that kept the audience up.

Junebug was next. Anthony thanked the first bands for letting us close for them. We opened with "In the Flesh?", the rousing opener from Pink Floyd's The Wall. I (tony) was on vocals and the song didn't really go so well. Admittedly, we're new at this, but it seems we're probably better at playing our own tunes.

After "Piper," Anthony was heard saying, "That was some down home good music." Then in a fit of passion he attempted to swear, but instead spit out the words "doll gurn" and stopped himself. Dustin asked, did you say "Dolph Lundren?" I then added a "Todd Rundgren?" to the mix.

Two brand new, never before heard songs were debuted tonight; "Bumblebee" and "Found My Boogie."

There was a whole lot of dancin' goin' on tonight too. Members of the crowd found their boogie and danced the night away on select tunes and especially at the end with an extended dance version of "Cupid."

There were about 50 people in attendence and they all stayed through the storm to see the show. There were severe thunderstorm warnings and the tornado siren even went off. But it was all cool. The only thunder in the Red Rooster was caused by the BANDS! Yeah, you got it.

Also notable tonight was my (tony's) new (used) drum set. It's an old Apollo kit and it's got an orange sparkle finish.

Fun was had by all tonight and we look forward to our next show at the Rooster.
