Are you there God? It's me, Wesley Snipes.

We dare you to think of a better band name. Seriously. And not only that, but these five guys learned 80+ songs in like two weeks in order to be the backbone of Reverend Pete's live band karaoke last night. Pete is moving to New York in August, and has clearly decided to raise as much rock 'n' roll hooplah as humanly possible before his departure.

There's much that can be said about this event, but we are too goddam tuckered to do it justice. So, in customary lazy-ass list form, some highlights:

- Dear buddy Phil's band Butterknife opened with their special brand of pop-rock flava.
- Phil looked hot. You did, Phil.
- Butterknife followed by bafflingly tight and rocking punk-ska outfit Stray Bullets. So many tattoos.
- Are you there God? It's me, Wesley Snipes cleaned house, beginning with "Suffragette City" and ending with "Killing in the Name of", even while being forced to back dozens of different frontmen/women with wide variation in talent.
- Such as Girl-E, who couldn't have gotten a transition right if it were her goddam job.
- Bass player was that one guy who once gave Girl-E a bass lesson.
- Drunk girl mistook Girl-E for someone she is not. Drunk girl embarrassed herself.
- One of the drag kings sang "Hey Ya".
- Unwittingly found selves listening to "Barbie Girl" on car ride home.

Maybe when Pete moves Girl-E will remember she is not 19 and should get to damn bed sometimes.
