"Anyone want to be the eggshaker?"

Slim Jim and The Fatty Five hit the stage in place of The Man as one of the winners of the Battle of the Bands. However, there were only four of them, with no one to play the eggshaker.

With a softer more acoustic sound, Slim Jim brought something different to the event. A violinist and keyboardist took the place of the electric guitars previous bands had.

Wearing sweaters and jeans and singing a song inspired by Bob Dylan the previous energy of earlier acts was not found.

The singer, who tried to engage the crowd in the music, didn't succeed with his vocals being too soft and quiet to make any impact on the crowd.
