Anyone remember a horible performance in chapel circa 1993 by a group wanting to be the next DC Talk (later they were actually given a record contract). The song was "Step to the Mic" and was a running joke for the rest of the year. It was horrible. I can't remember the name of the group but one of the deans was their manager...I was embarrassed for them that day...


I just remembered...The were called "Reality Check" They got one after that performance. OUCH.

I remember that show. They got laughed off the stage. Oddly enough, "Reality Check" changed their sound from Cypress Hill-ish to something more along the lines of DeGarmo & Key and became a mildly successful group for a while. They had a moderate hit with that gawd-awful "Masquerade" song in the mid-90's.

And now a portion of Reality Check is known as "Luna Halo" and their debut album was produced by mega-producer Rick Rubin.

Ha! The lead singer was in my husband's youth group and his dad was the pastor of Hyland Heights for awhile. My husband actually ran sound for them when they were Reality Check, just getting their start.

Looks like they fell off the wagon...this from wikipedia:

Originally a Christian band, over time Luna Halo's lyrics began to shift in theme from being songs about faith to songs about relationships. When the band started playing in bars and clubs, many fans started to question whether the band had "sold out". In 2004, Christian music website JesusFreakHideout.com posted a disclaimer advising fans that members of Luna Halo smoke, drink, and use profanity from the stage[6]. Lyrics in "Medicate" refer to being addicted to drugs and alcohol[7], while "The Fool" uses mild profanity[8]. Although not prohibited in the Bible, many Christians hold an opinion these characteristics are unfitting for believers. As a result, many churches and Christian groups no longer support Luna Halo as a Christian band.
