I’m sure some of you have heard about the Rock Boat. For those of you that haven’t, it’s basically a cruise with 20 or so bands (like Sister Hazel, O.A.R., Cowboy Mouth, Gaelic Storm, etc).

Well, my favorite local band The Ugli Stick has made it to the second round in a contest being put on by Icehouse. The contest will award one of the unsigned bands a spot on the Rock Boat this September, and one of the fans that voted for them a FREE CRUISE!

So I’m going to encourage ALL of you to get out there and vote for The Ugli Stick by going to http://www.icehouse.com.

I’ve been listening to the other bands, and with the exception of Bain Mattox I’m not really seeing how any of the other bands are any different than the crap that they spin on the radio every damn day. So go vote, win yourself a free cruise.

BTW, You can vote 3x per day, and The Ugli Stick will be playing at the Barking Kudu in Birmingham this Saturday night…
