The Rock (and Roll)

If Alcatraz is called “The Rock” then Treasure Island was “The Roll” for Wednesday’s VMWorld 2007 party.
First on stage was the Wonderbread 5. I believe this band was once a Jackson 5 tribute band that has now evolved into 5 white guys wearing afros that definitely know how to start the party!
Associatedentertainment.com describes this local San Francisco band best:
“With their tongue planted firmly in cheek, the Wonder Bread 5 posse fuses hip-hop, country-fied white-trash anthems, disco and hair metal, resulting in a high energy spectacle of fun, grooves and all the songs you love to sing…and sing loudly.”
Smash Mouth topped the evening off with all of their hits as well as some amazing Van Halen covers! The band started a multi song encore with a version of “Running with the Devil” that would have made even David Lee Roth jealous!
According to their web site Smash Mouth has a new album in stores and is also currently working on songs for an upcoming movie soundtrack. I will definitely be adding their newest CD to my collection.
