THE ELECTRIFYING DELUSION

About Me

The Textbook Committee is a collective group of friends. Together we drink beer, chew the fat, and have good times. We also like to pick up instruments and play songs from our favorite band, Guided By Voices. We will do this at your BBQ, birthday party, backyard kegger, and the occasional bar if our presence is kindly requested................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ...................ROTATION: Lil' Dave as "Blob Pollard" ///Jim Mertz plays guitar on stage right ///Andrew W.
