Battle of the Jug Bands

On Feb. 11, 2007, the Hump Night Thumpers celebrated our finest moment so far: victory in the 25th Annual Battle of the Jug Bands in Minneapolis. After a strong debut last year, we hit the top in our second try, and now we have the traveling trophy (a vintage 1938 waffle iron) to carry around with us all year. Scroll down for press coverage, photos, and a video of each of the songs we performed!

Band trivia

The Hump Night Thumpers took their name from their weekly practice time: Wednesday night, or "hump night."

Random blues lyric

I took off my socks
I took off my shoes
I danced all night to the jug band blues
