Superman ain’t the only awesome thing coming out of Metropolis. Wet Nelson and the Hot Commodities is the winning band from Harrah’s Metropolis in Illinois, and they’re headed to the April 30 Southern Regionals in New Orleans. It’s going to a great party with tons of awesome bands, so get yourself to Harrah’s New Orleans by any means necessary to see it all go down.

Wet Nelson and the Hot Commodities will be there, consisting of vocalist Bryan Severns, guitarist Stephen Ragsdale, bassist Austin Casper, and drummer Bradley Kennedy. Their winning song was, as you might have sensed, “Give It Away” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The four friends have been playing Rock Band since its inception (September 14, 2007, in case you’ve forgotten), and all but Bryan have real instrument experience.

So what’s their strategy? “We plan on having an exciting stage presence, we want people to believe they are actually watching a band perform on stage,” Wet Nelson et. al. says. “The score is second place to performance in our eyes.”

Sounds like a fun time for all. Should be a great show in New Orleans!
