For those who weren't there, and for those who for whatever masochistic reason care to relive it, we're going to post some MP3s of our work during Summer Camp 2010. We've embedded them right in line with the text so you don't have to go hunting for them. The lineup from the start was Michael Lubliner and Eric Werling on guitar, Collin Olson on bass, Randy Martin on drums, Brad Oberg on percussion, and Steve Sauer on keyboards. Most of the vocals were shared by Luby, Steve and Eric.


After rehearsing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we kicked off our first prime-time rock set on Sunday with "Building Science Business," our themed parody of a song by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

After that came our debut performance of "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones.

This was followed immediately by another BSBB premiere, that of "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder.

After this, we settled into a relaxing version of the Toots and the Maytalls classic "Pressure Drop," adapted to have special meaning in the world of building science. How many of you people know what "Delta Q" means anyway?

Next up, we dipped into the Derek and the Dominos catalog for the splendid B-side "Bell Bottom Blues." This performance was a little rough, but when we did it again later in the week, that version killed (to be posted later).

The Dire Straits tune "Sultans of Swing" brought us back up-tempo and on-point again.

That preceded "Should I Suck or Should I Blow," our irreverent take on a Clash standard, adapted once again to fit the setting.

Welcoming substitute bassist Rick Duncan to the lineup for our first switcheroo of the night, we got our Traffic/Joe Cocker fix with our rendition of "Feelin' Alright."

Our next guest of the evening, newly recruited Summer Camp bartender George Christopher, helped us rouse our audience with another Rolling Stones tune, "Honky Tonk Woman."

That's all that'll be posted for right now. Check back again later for more from Summer Camp 2010! We might even post some of our earlier recordings too.
