Tri Delta "Delight"



November 12, 2005 was a monumental day for us at PowerPlay. With two gigs in one night, you might say we killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Brett was on the wheels at a stake dance in South Jordan, while I was spinnin' in Park City at the Tri Delta formal.

I think Brett has mentioned we love sororities, and Tri Delta only increased my love. Mike Vandivere helped me out at the Park City Marriott and we had a great time with the sorority. They were all in the P-A-R-T-Y mood. The girls didn't even want to eat, they were all beggin' me to play dance music during dinner. Let's just say dinner was short and sweet.

The dance was crazy--these girls were going to have a great time no matter what I played. The crowd was definitely favoring hip-hop, but the night's biggest hit by far was the sorority's usual request for "Dixieland Delight." They were singing along and dancing in unison. It was a "delight" to watch. The CDX was givin' me a few problems, but overall the dance went great. We have to thank Miranda for all that she does and we look forward to working with her in the future.

I should also mention that I discovered a new skill in my buddy Mike...Mike is good on the mic, ironic huh. That's really catchy, maybe Mike should look into the MC profession. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

A Warm Wedding



If you want to have your wedding in a secluded, beautiful setting, you might choose Sundance. Just a word of caution though- placing candles in pots full of arts-and-crafty dried moss stuff looks beautiful... but it's also highly flammable. Then again, we were lucky enough to get to stomp out two of them, and it was pretty fun. Just another way to add some excitement to the reception.

Sundance was beautiful and all the guests were very impressed. The place looked great, everyone did an excellent job of creating a first class reception, and the music was perfect...even if we do say so ourselves. Thanks for having us.

Congratulations and good luck Brett and G.P., we're sure you'll enjoy years of happieness.

The Fabulous Flowells visit Utah


The Fabulous Flowells in Provo

The Faulous Flowells formed in 2000, performing in and around Las Vegas, NV. The first Flowapalooza took place in March 2001. The Flowells continued to play shows and gained wide local popularity. 2001 also birthed the Flowells first full lenth album, "Germainious Habitat".

The album recieved critical acclaim by Pope John Paul II, saying "Never have I heard such beauty put to music." Other celebrities joined in heaping accalades on the album as well. "They saved my career," said Bob Sagat of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and the successful TV series "Full House."

In the following years, each of the Flowells went in different directions:

JC 2 Smoof disappeared in September of 2001, creating a rift in the group as well as conspiracy theories, speculations of hermitism, and unsubstantiated claims of sightings among the fanbase.

DJ Push Play always had a dream of sailing. He bought a catamaran and lived by himself on the ocean. Little is known of his adventures.

MC Phetus Brown became an avid gardener and even got his own show on HGTV. He competed in the 2003 HGTV Amateur Garden Olympics, and won 3 gold medals. In 2004, he hosted them.

Herrmann kept to the streets. He moved to Mexico and joined a gang known as "Las Ardillas". They were responsible for 50% of the crime in Mexico. He has since moved back to the US and bought a horse.

Pickel lived a peaceful life at his ranch in Canada. At a family reunion in 2004, his grandmother (who is featured on Germaineous Habitat) began hastling Pickel for royalties. A knife fight broke out and Pickel lost to his grandma, recieving various puncture wounds. Her lawyers accused Pickel of terrorizing the elderly and Pickel was in prison for 11 months and has been released.

The Fabulous Flowells have since reunited. October 21st, the group made the trip from Vegas to Provo for an all-out production, and a night we're guessing won't be forgotten in a long time by anyone lucky enough to have been in the audience.

PowerPlay supplied the sound for what was probably one of the most unique acts ever to hit the town, and we were proud to be a part of The Fabulous Flowells' Reunion Tour.
