So a couple weeks ago I did this event in Boston organized by www.bostonbandcrush.com
It was called ONE NIGHT BAND. 40 musicians from around Boston reported in the morning to the Middle East, were assigned somewhat randomly to eight different bands of five people and had to come up with three original songs and a cover in eight hours and preform them later that evening. I was in a band called the Peppermint Patties. We were supposedly going for a fifties pop feel while singing songs about killing people. I was in a band with a bunch of all stars - Rich Adkins (the In-out), Chris Mulvey (Muy Cansado), Jason Dunn (the Luxury), and Julie Two Times (The New Alibis, Vagiant).
You can read Rich's recap of the show here as well as view some video of the show:
