Bummer. But I get it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We here at Regroove<\/a> have made a fun, interactive Bingo game service<\/a> called Rockstar Bingo<\/a> that combines music so that folks can interact and connect. Why? Why not? Gotta do something during Covid. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re using it already every Thursday night to power “Rockstar Nights<\/a>” which is a weekly event combining a Live Band with Bingo, for free, so that we can stay sharp, hang out and build an audience that we hope continues to grow once we return to playing live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So What<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next up was to see if other bands might be interested. I’d think a band like Weezer<\/a> might be interested as they do a lot to interact with their fans, have to be aching to play and connect and just seem like fun folks. But I don’t know how to contact them, so that idea just sits idle here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I was able to track down some contact information for Weird Al Yankovic<\/a> who I thought might be interested. This is a guy with a huge catalog, loves to entertain and I even thought with his polka party tracks that grace every album he puts out, that it would be perfect for some ‘live band speed rounds’. So I pitched his manager last night with the following video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
