Deep freezed and a whole lot of fun!

MacLachlan-Bower Overkill are talented musicians and great performers. I wasn't alive in the 70's, so this band showed me what I missed out on. They are deep freezed and a whole lot of fun!

About

In the waning days of 1979, Clyde Bower and Clint MacLachlan were taking a break from their cover act in the lounge of the High Point Holiday Inn, smoking a doobie of Colombian Gold out the back door of the hotel’s kitchen. Tragically, they stumbled back inside and mistakenly entered the walk-in freezer where they passed out behind a giant bag of Swanson fish sticks. Thirty years later, the drummer of a Daughtry tribute band playing the same venue nearly made the same mistake but left the freezer door open, allowing Clyde and Clint to finally thaw into the 21st century. They’re still crazy (not to mention somewhat dazed and confused) after all these years.

While at one of their helpful therapy sessions working to acclimate themselves to The Future, Clint and Clyde met a golden-voiced and confused beauty who is not only stuck in the '70s like our heroes, but believes she is, in actuality, Olivia-Newton John. Clyde hired her; Clint married her. Taking her first name from Olivia's character in "Grease," and her last name from Clint, Sandie became the 3rd star in the constellation of MacLachlan-Bower Overkill. Get lost in their rock and roll and drift away!
