Letter From Grand Champeen

Hi Jim.....

My name is Channing Lewis and I'm writing
from Austin, Tx. on behalf of my band, Grand Champeen.
We are scheduled to play at the Entry on April 14 in
order to benefit the Karl Fund, and will be performing
a lengthy set entirely of Soul Asylum covers (with a
couple of covers they were known for playing),
spanning from the Loud Fast Rules days, up through the
"Horse."

Our plan is to bust out some of the old gems
from their heyday as a local band, and raise some
money for the fund. We have the best of intentions,
as all four of us grew up idolizing the band, and we
just hope to do Karl proud.

Obviously, any press we can drum up would help
make the gig a success, and I know from having read
your stuff that you know and remember those days
fondly. We would certainly appreciate anything you
can do to that end. If you get a chance, we're at www.grandchampeen.com and www.myspace.com/grandchampeen.

Sincerely,

Channing
