WINNAR

my band, The Pyramid Scheme won the Clark Grill Battle of the Bands! our prizes are as follows:

• $10.00 gift cards to Main Event for each of us
• $25.00 gift card to Hastings (CDs, DVDs, VGs, etc) for the whole band.
• One free two-topping pizza at the Tomato
• Free drumsticks for nate
• Free work done on Chris's guitar and Dan's Bass at some guitar place.

all in all, a rediculously awesome amount of prizes for about a half hour of music. our setlist was as follows:

1. "Circles," (Music and Words by Me, except for the words to the chorus, which Chris came up with)
2. "Russian Song," (Words and Music by Chris. AKA "Never Say Never," including a bitchin' melodica solo by me)
3. "Roxanne," for people who like England and Prostitutes (done in C minor, so i could sing it)
4. "Baby Britain," (we didn't get to play it at the Elliott Smith show, so we played it tonight)
5. "You're Gonna Get It," (Words and Music by Chris. The hardest rockin' tune of the night)
6. "Dan's Groove" (Music by Dan. Getting in touch with our inner jam band)
7. "If I Ain't Got You," (Alicia Keys cover. We decided to do this like a couple days before the show. It was so drastically different than everything else, but it was good. I saw 21 lighters in the audience, not because I counted, but because that's how many of Chris's smoking friends showed up)
8. "Mischief Maker," AKA "Retribution," AKA "Donky Puncherello," (Ostensibly, the title is "Mischief Maker," but nothing set in stone. Music by Me, Words by Chris. I wrote it while listening to a lot of Dismemberment Plan, so that comes through a lot in the music)
