- WARN DEFEVER AND THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS BAND
warn defever and the i want you to live a hundred years band performed at the G-DOLLAR in detroit december 30 2000.
when warn started playing his first song "do you want to come to my party," the other boys in the hundred years band went through the audience and gave every boy and girl a pretty flower. at the end of the night, everyone had flowers on their hats, in their pockets, and in their hair.
fred thomas told a story about something to do with breakdancing on a piece of cardboard in front of his friend's house in the second grade.
warn passed the hollow log around to everyone who was thirsty in the audience.
we all appreciated davin and jeremy's special light show.
except for all the people who had a bright light shining in their eyes.
(if some of these pictures seem like they are not up to our usual high standard, they have not been taken from the time stereo staff photographer archives but from videos of the performances. our most humble apologies.)
