Join Platinum hit-makers Sponge and Marcy's Playground for a one of a kind rock and roll adventure on the high seas. Both bands will be featured entertainers on Carnival's Fascination for a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas on Oct. 23 - 27, 2008. The cruise departs from Jacksonville, Florida and includes stops in Freeport and Nassau. Each band will play full electric and acoustic shows, in addition to hanging out with fans during on board cocktail parties, poker tournaments and autograph sessions. 
I don't know about you bandheads out there, but when I was gigging regularly I couldn't get my groove on without '...a taste born of hoary nights....the boldly flavorful yet surprisingly smooth spirit of Yukon Jack...' - or Southern Comfort, or Jeigermeister, or some other type of flammable liquer that was both sweet and dangerous when consumed in large quantities. Whiskey Rhythm is both the perfect description for that subtle state between stiff sobriety and alcoholic meltdown and our latest band-link submission in the Cover Bands / Classic Rock category. This Battle Creek quartet also play a fair amount of blues, so they can re-submit their link in our Cover Bands / Blues category as well. If you're lost in southern Michigan sometime or just need a stiff drink before you go to Ohio, look 'em up. For now, click "read more" below for the link.
Chris Badynee's Bogdon Box Bass has made the news again, this time right here at home in The Freep. The local musician/inventor has been peddling his wares in every available media outlet, including Bass Player Magazine, Good Morning America, on the Dwight Yokum tour with Jake Willemain, at the N.A.M.M. show out west and soon at the N.A.M.M show down in Nashville. According to The Freep he's already unloaded 500 of the cardboard contraptions at $99 bucks a pop via mail-order and more are selling all the time. Not a bad segue from his life as a sideman for The Purple Gang, The Cadillac Kidz, Pas/Cal, Skeleton Crew, Laffing Gas and many others.

With bands competing in over 20 different nations for the "chance" to play in front of record label A&Rs
