calling on you!

got a calendar? clear it. got a job? call in sick. got an excuse? no you don't. stryper is coming to town.

stryper is the band that, as you can see, dresses in yellow and black stripey costumes. they're a prototypical 80's christian hair-metal band, and held onto the #2 spot on the "8 year old mike balzer favorite rock group countdown" for forty-seven weeks in 1986 (damn you bon jovi!). their concerts feature fast, hard rock with a religious twist, and they became a crowd favorite for their signature giveaway- tossing small copies of the bible out to their fans from the stage. so if you're all out of tiny bibles, make your way to the house of blues on october 8th, position yourself within the range of lead singer michael sweet's powerful arm, and wait for the greatest stories ever miniaturized and hurled in your general direction to rain down.
