Member Since	10/7/2004
Band Website	americansrock.com
Band Members	Andrieu Richard, guitar, vocals Tommy Thum, guitar, vocals Meredith Aleksandr, drums and Khris Butler on Bass
Influences	"Nobody. Isn't that horrible? We are blindly doing it and trying to be as cautious as we can not to do what is usually done, which is throw yourself out there like some god or something. Our goal is to be the biggest, most natural thing that we are. We are just trying to be ourselves with as much gusto as we can." --Paul Westerberg
Sounds Like	"Being a songwriter and being a musical virtuoso are two completely different things. The best songwriters are usually not the greatest musicians from a technical point of view. They don't spend their time practicing scales, killer guitar riffs, or drum fills. Some of them have singing voices that wilt plants. They make a lot of mistakes on stage. Sometimes they forget entire songs. If they tried to play in someone else's band they might not even be allowed in. On the flip side, technically good players can do just about anything on their instruments, but you'll never see them just pull a song out of thin air." --Jeneen Gauthier
Record Label	earbleed

Morning 40 Federation	Mar 15 2008 3:16 AM You can help the 40's get on tv! Please help! This is a repost from our friend, Lou Lou. She has made a short video for "No Reservatons" using our song "Bottom Shelf Blues" . If she wins, we'll get played on the Travel Channel. Click on the link and play the video over and over. Tell all your friends and family and coworkers and people on the street to do the same. Even better, register with their site and rate the film with 5 stars. It's better than any of the others, anyway! Here's the post: Okay, here's the link: http://yourtrip. travelchannel. com/clip. aspx?key=555387F3538AF9E4&ctx=toprated&type=video Please go there and view it again and again. Get your friends and family to do the same. Help me to get exposure for the Big Easy Roller Girls and the Morning 40 Federation and New Orleans in general. You can register and rate it with 5 stars, too. That would really help. Thanks so much! xoxoxox, Lou Lou
