Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting the band members of Champagne Champagne – Mark, Pearl, and Mr. Thomas as I have decided to nickname him. Local celebrities on the hill, the trio is known for their beats, raps, and unpredictable antics. They gave a performance at Seattle University like none I have ever seen before. Immersing themselves throughout the crowd and performing alongside students allowed the audience to be completely involved with the set. Plus, the guys were super nice and at the end of the night, Thomas had even offered me the job of becoming their music manager. Oh someday…

On Saturday, Champagne Champagne and local group Mad Rad left for their tour and the bands have been blogging about their travels through The Stranger’s Line Out blog. Unfortunately, the tour van recently got pulled over in Arizona, but not wanting to spoil to you what happens next – I’ll let Thomas spill the details for you here.

Good luck guys! Safe travels and stay out of trouble!
