Last Saturday night, me and the guys attended the Music City Mayhem awards in Nashville, hosted by Dungeon Productions. We had a hootin' good time as many of the city's best bands were in attendance and slated to play throughout the night. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I was a little intimidated by the skilled peeps in the crowd.....and my fears were later confirmed as we (except for Andy.....punk) got schooled in five of the seven categories we were nominated in that night.
However, we DID win Best Rock Band and were humbled to receive such a honor considering the bands we were up against. Brink said a few words as he spoke on our behalf to the presenters and audience members, thanking them for the nomination and the votes. Me and the rest of the guys just stood by......making faces and trying not to look too goofy. Overall, it was a pretty cool night.
Best Rock bassist was the last individual category of the evening and judging by the way that the Brink, David, Matt, and me all got taken to the cleaners in our respective categories, we had little hope that Roo would pull off the upset. But, as fate would have it.....Andy Neale's name and talent stood supreme as he took home the Best Rock Bassist award. Me and the guys tried to hide our grumbling by showing supportive faces but in the end I think it was clear that we ALL wanted to take home a shiny trophy. It kind of reminded me of when I was a kid playing soccer. Every year I wanted one of those trophies.......but only ever got one if I deserved it. Andy, my brother, you definitely deserved it. You are the funk soul of this band. Keep bringin' em home!!!!
Below are the pictures of our trophies....Andy's and the band's, respectively. Also, check out the video of us winning Best Rock Band.

Nice fellas! Adeline, November - that was some good talent to trump... but suprised not i am.
David - your "thanks" was an inspiration to us all.. haha. That was classic. Good thing you had Brink to lead the speech!
Congrats again... well deserved and not the last of its kind i suspect.

Congrats you guys! You're the best rock band in my book! It probably feels good to get recognition in the form of an official award, but if it means anything to hear it from your fans, you guys ROCK! (no pun intended).
