Hey, I just thought I'd tell everybody about this new blues-rock band that was kind of formed for Chamber Ensemble. It's Logan Cole on drums, Valentin Sommer on piano, Byron Neslund on bass guitar, Samson Neslund on alto saxophone, Ryan Docena on rhythm guitar and myself, Justin Leedy, on lead guitar. We are playing at the Winter Concert this Thursday and at the Powerhouse on Friday. We're an all-instrumental band that plays smooth blues, jazz and rock. We only play either originals or original arrangements of standards and we almost never play real "songs" like most rock bands. We need a name and will be taking suggestions on this thread.

I've decided to add incentive. If a name posted on this thread is chosen, I will give the guy or girl that posted it either five dollars or the equivalent amount of soup.
(offer only valid in Kodiak, void where prohibited)

You guys had your chance, and you blew it. Only Ryan and Andy presented ideas, and (no offense) they weren't very good. We have settled on a name: The Super Groove Operators, or S.G. Operators, for short. I'll list the lineup again in list form so everybody can see.
THE SUPER GROOVE OPERATORS
Samson Neslund - Alto Saxophone
Valentin Sommer - Piano
Justin Leedy - Electric/Lead Guitar
Ryan Docena - Acoustic/Rhythm Guitar
Byron Neslund - Bass Guitar
Logan Cole - Drums
We're really only going to last until the end of this year, because Valentin is going back to Germany in like July or something. But look for a purevolume page for us in the near future cause I asked Logan to make one. We ought to be making some recordings soon and it will be quite awesome.

I put Logan last for two reasons, 1) Because in score order, the drum music goes at the end. 2) Because I hate him.

I made no provision for partial name usage, so no. No soup for you! Ha! That kind of worked out, that I got to reference Seinfeld in here.

And now he uses one of my quotes for his other sig. I rock a little bit more just because of that.
