Today’s band is heading to the Southern Regionals at Harrah’s New Orleans after winning the local competition at Harrah’s Tunica. You can see them perform along with all the other top bands in the South on April 30 at Harrah’s New Orleans, so get cracking if you’re in the area!
The Karate Choppers come to us from Ripley, Mississippi, where vocalist Kirk Nunnelee attends Mississippi State University. The other band members are John Meeks on guitar, Windom Taylor on bass, and Jonathan Tyler on drums; they all met while working at the Sofa-Mart Warehouse. The Karate Choppers have been playing Rock Band since it first came out, and they diligently practice three times a week.
They won at Tunica by playing The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Give It Away” (your Blogmaster is sensing a trend) for 1,840,748 points. The competition in New Orleans should be hot. Best of luck to the Karate Choppers and everyone else who’s made it this far!
