The latest by one of the best up and coming bands to have their career nearly ended by grunge in the early ninties:




Nuno Bettencourt is among the few who can be called guitar gods!

[Rev. Rye]

A bit of explanation: The music is by a group called The Monkey Power Trio. Their big gimmick is that they perform for just one day a year. On that one day, they record a 45's worth of music. They do not rehearse on any of the other 364 days of a year, and presubably, they don't even write the songs they record on those other days.

And here's how this commercial went, according to the band:

You see, one day a friend of the band passed an mp3 file of our song, "You Gotta Have Hope" along to another friend. This second friend happened to be at work at a prominent advertising agency. He wanted to annoy his hungover boss, so he turned up the volume of the sloppy guitar, horrible drumming, desperately screaming vocals and high piercing recorder of "You Gotta Have Hope." The boss wasn't annoyed. He added the song to a pitch for a Fox Sports Network promotion. We know that some Marvin Gaye song was also on the list. Eventually, a Fox Sports Network television commercial featuring The Monkey Power Trio's almost-song, "You Gotta Have Hope" was aired around the country for about six-months.

If you feel an intense desire to get put on the No Fly List, just wait until you're in the middle of a flight, put on The Lonesome Crowded West and sing along to this song at the top of your lungs:
