Indeed --  been a while since Dave's dug this one out.


Yep, Quarterflash at their peak. My college concert board did a show with them--they were quite nice folks, not at all full of themselves.

Trivia: What was the band's name before they changed it (with good reason) to Quarterflash?

For a whopping 5 frink points, what was Quarterflash's name before they got signed & the A&R guy said, "OMG, your name sucks".


I can't believe I actually know this without checking:

Seafood Mama.

Too late.  I agree with Gaz on the Freakishness of this Jinx & also that I can't believe 3 of us knew that off the tops of our heads.  

We're a sick, sick group.

This better be better (you bet) than Bob's set earlier -- but I'm not optimistic.


At this point Dave has already left Bob in the dust.  Not bad for a Monday.
