Our band friends who live in Orlando received a call yesterday from the Secret Service. It was totally out of the blue and when our friends asked what the call was about, a very serious voice on the other line informed them that they had been doing some research on them and they needed to discuss an important issue with them. (Ok, right about now is when my mind would start racing about every crazy and stupid thing I might have ever done!)
Our friends kept their cool and asked what this "important issue" was and after a few minutes they were asked if they were interested in playing at the Democratic National Convention tonight before Obama and Biden spoke! How freaking cool is that?! Apparently, the Secret Service had asked multiple venues who the best band was in Orlando to play this important show and everyone gave the name of our friends band. All 5 band members passed their security checks yesterday and they will be playing today at 4pm for over 100,000 people. It's one of the bigger crowds they have played for and one they are very excited about.
Hopefully some nice corporate gigs and better exposure will come out of this gig for my friends. Check out their myspace page for more info!
