Advocate Nominations..

Being nominated for best roots rock band (Drunk Stuntmen), best drummer (Dave Durst), and best male vocalist (Steve Sanderson) in the ineffable Valley Advocate comes with many caveats. There's the constant and excrutiating worry that this might be the year you get passed over. Left for dead in the depths of the wastebin or proper recycling tub. Maybe it's the fear that we're getting "overexposed" and might loose our rough and ragged "look what I found in the dumpster mommy, can we keep them?" appeal. Or maybe, just maybe, our collective and nonstop malaise and indifference will overcome these plausable concerns like a small pebble removed successfully from side 2 of Led Zeppelin 3. Either way, why don't you go to http://66.51.169.160/bandslam/index.cfm?pid=15 and cast your vote. You, yes you can say with some certainty "I helped book a gig for my favorite roots rock band, Drunk Stuntmen" Because, as you'll soon know, they give the band who wins their category the opportunity to play at some bar on Worthington St. in Springfield, On September 21st, some time at night. We'll keep you posted, you keep us runnin'.

Much ado about muffins. Ah...muffins.
