   About Alternative Champs™

37 Steps to Emotional Healing

We rolled up our sleeves and reached deep into the Champs' vault to pull out this special collection of 37 tunes going all the way back to the beginning. '37 Steps' is a sure winner among the collegiate stoner crowd but also contains some pop classics for the suburbanite and retired crowd. In fact, I would go as far as to say that this is the perfect cd for anyone who has arms, legs, or eyelids and might even make a great gift for anyone undergoing a tummy-tuck. Get it while you can!

**Special offer** The CD is $0.10 per song, or, in other words, only $3.70!!! To buy it, visit MoRisen Records.

Part performance art, stand up comedy, satirical theatre, and gigantic stadium rock band, The Alt Champs are like a musical Monty Python emphasizing the bizarre and hilarious while thoroughly rocking you along the way. Although they're spawned from such critically acclaimed, regional favorites as Jolene, Rebar, and The Husbians, these guys are as unique to their past endeavors as they are to the rest of the music world. While they do enjoy breaking down the barriers between comedy and popular music they are far from a rehash of Weird Al.

The Champs write great songs with catchy hooks and great imagery that rock very hard. Calling them simply a joke band would be way off the mark. Whatever the mood, you can rest assured that a night out with The Alternative Champs will be one hell of an experience. Expect the unexpected as each night's attire reflects a different theme. Whether they are fast food workers, softball coaches, or eight foot tall clowns, you can count on a fun, musical experience.
