5 minutes? That’ll give ‘em time to play their whole “best of” album! Hiyo!
To: GSP.FAN
I cut and pasted that URL but I really don’t want to look through several pages of videos to find the SB one. Do you have a more precise link?

that was Brent Bourgois, was it not (or however you spell it), and some other guy. Brent went on to make great music with Christian themes.

Hope they sing
I'll Fly for You. That's my favorite song by them (and it fits the event).

Brent is not listed as a band member for the band on anything I could find.

And a guaranteed life of non-hits.

and time to play one hit song. They only had one ... True 5 minutes 32 seconds .... so they will need some extra hang time.

They only had one hit in the US, “True,” which is not their best song in my opinion. They had several hits in Great Britain, including “I’ll Fly for You,” which is a pleasant song to listen to while motoring through the Cotswolds. That’s where and how I first heard the group.

Interesting. I read somewhere that their name derives from the ‘dance’ the Nazis did after being sentenced to death by hanging. The ‘dance’ was them hanging on the ropes until dead.
I don’t know how much is true.

you're right. He was in -- believe it or not -- Bourgeous Tag.
For some reason I get the forgettable bands mixed up.
