Karp lives! Skateland’s final superfly

Jul 18

Posted by

Today I heard one of my favorite songs from a local band: “Connect 5” by the late, great Karp. It tells the story of Skateland’s final superfly, Bobby Fever. This has to be the theme song for a men’s roller derby team in town, right? Enjoy…

It wasn’t the Tumwater band’s only local sports themed creation: they named their first album “Tumwater T-Birds”. As you can see in this clip from the Karp documentary “Kill All Redneck Pricks”, it was not lovingly titled…

While we are at it and since it is Lakefair…

Karp lives!

ConleyOlympia grad Adam Conley pitched a seven inning complete game shutout in game one of a doubleheader for the Jacksonville Suns on Sunday. The Miami Marlins second round pick out of Washington State in 2011 struck out four in the game and moved to 8-4 and lowered his ERA to 3.66 for the double-A Suns. Next up for Conley is the Southern League All-Star game in Jacksonville on Thursday. – Link
