Today’s band, The Pope’s Toyota, beat out the competition in the local tournament at Horseshoe Southern Indiana and will therefore be advancing to the Southern Regionals at Harrah’s New Orleans. It’s going to be an awesome party in the Big Easy on April 30, featuring the best Rock Banders of the south, so be sure to check it out if you’re below the Mason-Dixon line.

The Pope’s Toyota hails from Lexington, Kentucky, and consists of these lucky four: Jennie Duffy on vocals, Jerry Duffy on guitar, Chris Feltham on bass, and Terry Newland on drums. The longtime friends have been playing Rock Band together for two years. They credit their win in Southern Indiana with practicing both online and together, as well as picking a song with a high point potential.

You guessed it. The Chili Peppers’ “Give It Away.” A song that your Blogmaster will never, ever listen to again without seeing large numbers flashing across a mental screen.

The Pope’s Toyota scored about 1.92 million points, although it was a very close competition. Matters weren’t helped by their Incredible Shrinking Drummer issue: Terry’s seat kept dropping little by little so that by the end of the performance, he was more or less sitting at kids’ table-height. Hopefully The Pope’s Toyota won’t have any equipment malfunctions in New Orleans!
