one time I was reading a transcript of an interview with al from 1997, and he claimed that the leader of the band, "presidents of the united states of america" had done a song in concert called "are you gonna see the weird al show?" and in the end of the song he jumped and hit his head on the ceiling and was unconsious. he said he would give al a bootleg of it. anyone know anything else about it?

The song's called Are You Going to the Weird Al Concert? by Ballew's band, Creepy Stick. I know nothing else besides a studio version of it on the Me, Myself, and I tribute album, and that it's awesome.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Since the title of the topic has been fixed, I'll say that I've heard this song a few times on the radio......and it is awesome like Dingo said.

According to the product description for the CD on the PUSA's online store....

this is a duo of me and Dave Theile from the old childhood neighborhood…I have known Dave since he was just a newborn and we have been making music together since he was 6 and I was 10….our first band was DAVID AND THE OVERTONES with me on piano and dave on drums…these days Dave plays the 3 string mostly with an occasional turn on the skins and I do the 2 string and 4 string bass and some guitar as well…Mike Mussberger from too many Seattle bands to mention plays drums on a few tracks as well….the sound is heavy and repetitive like SPACEMEN 3 or LOOP with odd typewriter and acoustic breaks thrown in for good measure….the killer track is "blue ridge mountain police department" a relentless assault of guitar fun…. - Chris Ballew

So in other words, it's a side project with an old childhood friend.

Chris Ballew has or has had several bands (Feeling Hijackers, the Giraffes, Subset are a few I can think of offhand)
