Ben Folds Five really wants to play at a Bobcats game this season

For those of you who are not into alternative rock, Ben Folds Five is a band consisting of three members that was formed nearly 20 years ago. Apparently the musicians are also from North Carolina, which I guess in some way gives them a connection to the Charlotte Bobcats. That’s what Ben Folds himself is trying to sell, at least.

On Sunday night, Folds took to Twitter to try to convince the Bobcats and their fans to let his group be the pit band at a game at some point this season. He did so with three consecutive tweets.

Nothing like a little shameless self promotion. I’m thinking Michael Jordan probably has more important things to worry about at the moment than who the house band will be on a given night, but it’s worth a shot. That’s what Twitter’s for, right?
