Charity BBQ is made up of 4 members, Josh MacDonald, on lead guitar and back-up vocals, Jason Woudsma, lead vocals, Alex Brueckner-Irwin on bass, and Mitch Allard on drums/percussion (including wind chimes).
Why this name?
We were practising in the music room at school one day, when an IGUANA GOD came in. He was wearing a Charity BBQ t-shirt, and a cute orange toque. As he entered the room he proclaimed, "YOU SHALT BE KNOWN HENCEFORTH AS CHARITY BBQ!". The band members (that's us) looked at each other and said, "Ok". Then Mitch tried to pet the IGUANA GOD and it bit him, shed it's tail in fear, and ran away. Mitch ate the tail, and gained the powers of the IGUANA GOD.
Do you play live?
Charity BBQ has played several shows live, mostly at LCVI (the school we all currently attend). However, we are beginning to play shows outside of school.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
According to the IGUANA GOD, MP3 technology has helped spread the fame and popularity of many indie and unknown bands. While it may take away from some album sales, it helps the fans reach a wider audience, and could possibly help with concert sales.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
The IGUANA GOD says we will be rich and famous, and the record companies will help us educate the masses in the way of CHARITY BBQ and it's rock awesomness.
Band History:
One day, the band members were quite bored in their focus program class. They decided to start a band to relieve the tedium. The band rocked, so they kept at it and the IGUANA GOD approved.

Anything else...?
Jason, the lead singer, is full of heartbreak. He is madly in love with a girl, who does not return his affection, and is in fact dating a complete loser.
Josh is the sickest guitairist ever. Josh is currently in a ball and chain (as Jason puts it) relationship with Justine, an up and coming Broadway actress.
Alex, the hotty (according everybody except Mitch)is currently trying to force Mitch out of the band, by making him look like a fool.
Mitch is currently trying to digest the IGUANA GOD's tail.
