Installment #3 of “Know Your Bump Set List”
This version of “Sonny Kind” was recorded live on July 17, 2004 at Fifth Avenue in Royal Oak, MI. It showcases our good friend Greg “Quaff” Williams on saxophone. Quaff was playing with our friends The Leonard Brothers at the time and recorded saxophone on our EP “Heart of Cadillac Square.” We always look forward to partying with Quaff while down in Austin, TX.
Remember, don’t forget to vote for which songs you want us to play on 1.7!

Installment #2 of “Know Your Bump Set List”
“Restless, Restless” is a song that was written for a contest on the Howard Stern Show. Vinnie Favale, VP of CBS Late Night, wrote the original version of the song and Howard always joked how it was easily the worst song he ever heard. A contest came out of those discussions to see who could actually make Vinne’s song into a legitimate and quality song. Thousands of submissions later our version of “Restless, Restless” was played on the air and a friendship with Vinnie developed.

In the spirit of our Fan Appreciation Show on January 7th we thought we would release some old recordings. We figure some people might have forgotten some of these old classics from back in the day. We want you to be properly educated on your Bump history before you vote on our set list!
Take for example the track above, “Journey Into Night.” This song was coincidentally recorded at Small’s on October 14, 2003 when the band opened for Mofro.
FAN APPRECIATION - 1.7.10 @ Small's
We love our fans. You guys are loyal and supportive. We want to let you know that it doesn’t go unnoticed! Especially with your recent support at The Roostertail for Thanksgiving Eve.
January 7th at Small’s in Hamtramck is FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT! This night is all about YOU, the fan! You won’t have to pay $20 to park, or $13 for a drink this night! Not only is the show all ages and free with the donation of a canned food item, but we’re excited to have Magic Hat on board with us for $1.00 Magic Hat #9’s all night! Free show and cheap beer?
