simplicity. Musicians from around the Kansas City area entered the competition and were randomly drawn
together into bands. They then had three weeks in which to write three songs and then perform them on
stage at The Brick.
One band that fate brought together in the Band Scramble consisted of Ian Ballard, drums (Minds Under
Cover), John Bersuch, vocals and keyboard (Minds Under Cover, Forrest Whitlow and the Crash, Bacon
Shoe, and The Mouth Band), John Granger, guitar (The Gogs), and Shawn Sherrill, bass (Shiner, Unknown
Pleasures, and Roman Numerals). The band quickly came together in John Bersuch's West Bottoms loft
and Christ Fist was born. Not only did the band write three songs for the competition, but they recorded
two of them, as well. John Bersuch, acting as his alter-ego, LethalD, also produced a re-mix of the
eponymous song for inclusion on a three track CD that was distributed at the Band Scramble performance.
