Rock The Vote

Indianpolis is home to one of the more entertaining party rock bands by way of The Fuglees. If you've listened to The Bob & Tom show or perhaps stopped by The Patio when it was The Patio, you may have heard such classics as "Yoko Ono" or "Crazy Girls (mp3)". The power trio knows how to crank out some rock 'n' roll while making you laugh at the same time.

In a move that I can only call unexpected, Fuglees drummer Tom Knapp is running for City Council as a Democrat for district 9. Weird, hunh? Personally I'm wondering if this is just a marketing scheme to pull in the crowds to the next Fuglees show, but Knapp has assured voters that he's willing to talk politics after pounding the skins.

For the record, I had a bear of a time finding a list of the candidates for the May primaries. IndyGov, once again, fails to provide useful and easily gained information. I eventually found an Excel file of all of the candidates on IndyGov's site, but it was being linked to from WTHR's website. Sheesh.
