I had a good time at PubQuiz with my mom, sister and friend Rachel, and on my way home was invited to see a friend of a friend's band as they were being filmed for a documentary. The band was Karaoke from Hell, and apparently they play every Monday night at Dante's. From 10pm-2am. The premise of the band is that they have people up and sing karaoke style fronting their live band. They have a list of hundreds of songs they can play at a drop of a hat. The band was great, and even more amazing were the people who got up to sing. A crazy variety of people including a dude who played an electric cello that had no belly to it - only the long fingerboard piece, and an old ONE ARMED biker named "Lefty" who played harmonica. The guy in the photo was a doppleganger of our friend Justin from California, and rocked hard to Ace of Spades.
It was so entertaining to watch such different and talented people come on stage and sing so well. And so much more entertaining to watch them backed by a live band. It also felt a little like breaking the rules to be out so late on a "school night."
