My neighbor isn’t in the Champs, but he knows all of them and they needed a percussionist for the show, so they asked him to join.Yep. And there was a poster on the old ZZL on IC who was the original bassist of the Champs (I don’t think he’s made his way over here).
They were originally supposed to play my wedding, but my wife (who loves their music) had second thoughts after Mike (not sure if he’s the member who’s also your neighbor) had already agreed to it. So they didn’t play.
Danny McBride’s shows have involved other Charlotte musicians as well. He co-created and co-created Eastbound & Down with Charlotte native Ben Best, who was in the Charlotte band Pyramid and also played Clegg in the show. And Charlotte’s Benji Hughes performed the song “Kenny,” which was featured in Eastbound & Down.
My neighbor has played in bands with all of those guys (save the drummer) in the past.
