This is the first set of the first band of the first Techapalooza in 2012 in its entirety.
The Ink Jets
In 2011, Winnipeg's heart and soul came back to the city and once again a province and a nation could collectively roar "GO JETS GO!!!" Fronted by St. James Karaoke legend Tim Grant, the Ink Jets look to bring an infusion of youth and energy to their game. Keeping the beat and bringing character to the dressing room is Ink Jets team captain and drumming sensation "BIG BARE FOOT" Greg Boettcher. Top to bottom, the Ink Jets bring an impressive first line of guitarists to an already stacked roster. Lead guitarist and assistant captain, Mike Dyck makes the impossible possible with his virtuoso skills and technical wizardry. On rhythm guitar, the Ink Jets add a little toughness to their roster with HP Printer Salesman, Napoleon Sansregret. Plucking away on the bass strings, we have a solid veteran presence with self-proclaimed "Old Fart Bassist" Stewart McEwen. Rounding out the starting lineup of instrument players, the Ink Jets looked to the free agent market and recruited Rock Band prodigy, Mike van de Vijsel who brings "top 40 in the world" keyboard skills to the roster. Continuing through the depth charts, the Ink Jets special teams are rock and roll solid with Karen Dietz providing silky smooth backup vocals to help perfect those harmonies!
