Hot off the WIRES... drums and wires (rimshot please):
Who could have foreseen it?
Like the proverbial dark horse, it seems that San Francisco's most
proficient and aesthetically and aurally pleasing XTC cover band, Clan
MacPartridge, is quickly narrowing the gap in the final hours before the New Hampshire primary, and is riding comfortably on a vibrant and enthusiastic groundswell of support.
According to Fox News, the reason for this amazing surge in popularity is due to The Clan's considerable rally at their most recent public appearance, in which 84% of those in attendance expressed extreme satisfaction with The Clan's platform. "I was leaning towards Howard Dean, but let me tell you something," stated Bob Kaupus, who could barely get through the crowded room to claim his third drink. "Those guys in C Mac P rock hard, and their barbaric yawps are much, much better than his."
The band continues their campaign this Saturday, January 31st, at Pete's 881, located at 721 Lincoln in San Rafael. Doors open at 8:30; cover is $5.
Having received their official endorsement, the band will be appearing
with incumbent 80's hairband tributary TEEZE, and will be premiering new material despite the fact that they don't yet have a harmonica with which to play the opening melody of "Peter Pumpkinhead."
"They definitely expect to have it by the weekend," said a Clan MacPartridge spokesperson. "Besides, the American people are a decent, understanding bunch. Given the group's stellar record on foreign policy and the economy, are they really going to let something like a potentially absent harmonica part determine their vote?"
When asked his thoughts on the group and whether The Clan's strong
grassroots following could jeopardize his current lead in the polls,
front-runner John Kerry nervously referred to the band's oft-cited mantra before leaving for an unspecified event.
"What can I say? They're not the best band in the world, but they play
their music. We're definitely on our toes, but we're not giving up."
