In the latest issue of the Nappie, we explained how the The Mitchell Center is making plans to blow their doors wide open with the Crocs Campus Tour featuring OneRepublic, Fabolous and Mobile’s own The Ugli Stick . The Ugli Stick earned their spot on this line-up when they stepped up to the plate with the Crocs Campus Tour Battle of the Bands and snatched the prize away from the competition courtesy of their legion of fans and their manager Kathy Kemp.  Front man Eric “The Birdman” Erdman has a poetic view of their upcoming performance.

“Playing the Mitchell Center will be special for me because I am a University of South Alabama Alumnus and this will be the first time I’ve had the opportunity to play there,” says Erdman. “It will be somewhat of a homecoming for me in that sense. I have watched many shows and events in that building, so I’m sure being on that stage for the first time will be surreal. And I’m going to love it. And lastly, I’m glad we won because we get to play with One Republic. And that means we can ask them if they can get us a discount on Timbaland producing the next Ugli Stick album.”
