My band, Haywood Yards, on YouTube: performing on Chic-a-Go-Go

[RandomKoolzip]

I'm the big boofus in a blue jumpsuit playing a snare drum with two bananas. Our fiddle player, Adrienne, decided not to appear on camera - a puzzling decision, methinks.

Chic-a-Go-Go is an awesome "kid's" show, taped in Chicago, that features local and national indie-rock bands, a cantankerously high-pitched sock puppet named Ratso, and distractingly cute host Mia asking us questions at the end of the song. It's an entertaining watch, especially if you are on drugs. In this regard, it is similar to most low-budget cable access kid's programs.

PS: that's not my real name.

Enjoy, kids of all ages!

[RandomKoolzip]

11. If you'd posted a pic of the incredible hulk I'd've lost my poop.

And seeing as I used a compound contraction in my subject line, I suppose this particular poop-loss is imminent.

:hi:

How you be?

[GOPisEvil]

7. Hooray!

I'm having trouble deciding what my favorite part of that was. I do know that I'm not near stoned enough for Chic-A-Go-Go.

[RandomKoolzip]

13. I suggest about four whip-it hits in quick succession....

Followed by an amyl nitrate. A snort of Pernod, an eye-dropper full of clean liquid LSD, and an entire bottle of Nyquil Cough. THEN hit the bong.

Ah...now you're ready for Chic-aGo-Go. :party:

Thanks!

9. Nice...!!!

That whole groove reminds me of Neil Conti on "Faron Young" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. Too cool!


:hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Prefab Sprout!

Yeah, ya know, I wanted to get the band to cover "Faron," but they was all like "no, it's too obscure." But we TOTALLY have the sound to pull it off - new wave-bluegrass-disco-indie-folk-funk.

And to be compared to Neil Conti....wow, what an ego boost! Thank you very much!

[greatauntoftriplets]

[RandomKoolzip]
