Mikey recorded a geek rock/comedy album (Impotent Nerd Rage) and decided that the songs needed to be played live with a full band at least once.

To this end, he assembled the mighty Electric Monks (Jason Tompkins-Bass, Scott Lindell -Guitar, Sean Smith-Guitar and Vocals, Joy Johnson-Drums and Vocals.)

At 9pm on Friday, December 9, 2011, at the Fickle Peach in beautiful, downtown Muncie, IN, Mikey and the Electric Monks will make their inaugural (and possibly only) public appearance, performing material from and related to the Impotent Nerd Rage Album. This show will be recorded (in case it really does never happen again...)

Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Doc's Sunday Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on booze, food, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death), the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.
